[edit] Fictional character biography
Quill is one of the Warpies, a group of superhumans created by the Jaspers' Warp. Quill and his fellow Warpies were taken in by the British government organisation, the Resources Control Executive (the R.C.X.). Quill and several of the Warpies were trained for combat and formed the Cherubim. Quill was their leader and they attacked Captain Britain, but were later taken in by him and his sister Elisabeth Braddock.[1]
The Warpies were later abducted by the new R.C.X. and again came into conflict with Captain Britain, who was now part of Excalibur. The Warpies were all slowly turning into humans, but the new R.C.X. had told them that they were dying. Excalibur uncovered the truth and told the Warpies. They also freed the original leaders of the R.C.X. and left the Warpies in their care[2].
The Warpies were again abducted shortly afterwards by Black Air, another government organisation. Black Air experimented upon the Warpies in an attempt to keep them superhuman. Their experiments succeeded, but the Warpies were saved by Mastermind who made them his soldiers. Quill was one of his most loyal soldiers. Under Mastermind's leadership, the Warpies attacked and destroyed most of the Captain Britain Corps. They were defeated by Captain Britain, who then used his new powers to turn the Warpies, including Quill, into regular humans[3].

Quill (Max Jordan) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Universe, one of the student body in the Xavier Institute. He first appeared in New X-Men: Academy X #1 and he was created by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir. When the students were each assigned to squads, Quill was assigned to Cyclops' "Corsairs", a group named after his father Corsair (see Xavier Institute student body for a line-up of the Corsairs). He was also voted class clown by the students of the Institute.[5].
Max got busted trying to steal test answers from the headmaster’s office. Kitty Pryde assigned him and his accomplices, George and Winston (who are presumably depowered and no longer reside at the school), to be mentored by Gambit, but instead of making them see the error of their way, he taught the boys some real thieving techniques[6].
Quill is one of 27 students at Xavier's to maintain their powers post-M-Day. He is later killed during William Stryker's attack on the Xavier Institute in the wake of M-Day. His body was recently seen in a telepathic image Emma Frost used to torment Carol Danvers with about her persistence with the Registration Act.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Max's body is covered in porcupine quills that can shoot from his body.
