Paras Gavaskar is an Indian mutant teenager. After enrolling at the Xavier Institute, Gavaskar was assigned to Alpha Squadron, a training squad mentored by Northstar; he was a top achiever in his classes. Indra and his fellow team members Anole, Loa, Rubbermaid, Network and Kidogo suffered a great loss when they were told that Northstar had been killed in the line of duty. The Alpha Squadron is unaware that Northstar is still alive, however. Following the assumed death of Northstar, Karma was their advisor.

[edit] M-Day

Tragedy struck once again the vast majority of the world's mutant population, including a large percentage of the Xavier Institute's student body, was depowered. In Decimation - The Day After, Indra was confirmed to be one of a handful of mutants who retained their mutant powers.

[edit] Quest for Magik

Indra was captured by Belasco and was held in Limbo with most of the other students. When X-23 orchestrated an attempt at escaping, Indra was beaten badly by the demon called S'ym when the attack failed[1].

After returning home, Indra discovers that he is the youngest mutant on the planet, excluding Franklin Richards, Molly Hayes, Tito Bohusk and (technically) the Stepford Cuckoos, and the most likely to be targeted.

[edit] Powers and abilities

Indra possess retractable sectional armored plates that afford him with the ability to cover himself in armor. His skin is indigo and his hair is red; he has a red bindi-like marking on his forehead, though this marking may be cosmetic and not part of his mutation.
