Onyxx (Sidney Green) is a fictional mutant published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in X-Men vol. 2 #171, and was created by Peter Milligan and Salvador Larroca.

[edit] Fictional character biography

Onyxx was passed from various foster homes and orphanages, unable to find acceptance because of his crude behavior^[1] and chronic bedwetting. However, the latter was cured when young Sidney mutated into the huge rock-like form he now possesses, much to his delight.

Onyxx became a student at the Xavier Institute, assigned to Gambit's training squad. Onyxx had a romantic interest in a new student at the Institute by the name of Foxx. It was later revealed that Foxx was actually a long time adversary of the X-Men, Mystique. She infiltrated the school to destabilize the relationship between Gambit and her foster daughter Rogue. After having revealed herself to the X-Men, Onyxx attacked Mystique for not returning his affection. Mystique escaped and, with the help of an accomplice, injured Onyxx.

Sidney retained his powers post M-Day and continued residing at the school. Onyxx was critically injured by Reverend Stryker during his attack on the institute; Onyxx barely survived. Onyxx is later seen captured alongside his fellow students in Limbo.

[edit] Powers and abilities

Onyxx has a craggy granite body which gives him superhuman strength and greater resistance to physical injury. He has also been seen to have a second pair of eyes, but it is unknown if these serve any special purpose.
