Switch (Devon Alomar) is a supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe created as part of the antithetical group for X-Force—the Hellions.
[edit] Fictional character biography
A mutant with the ability to displace brain patterns, he was invited to join the Hellions. During his first mission, he switched bodies with Domino and trapped her in a cellar of a winery. Switch, using Domino's body, tricked X-Force into believing the Hellions to be no threat. Unfortunately, the real Domino regained consciousness and attacked Switch, forcing him back into his own body. He quickly fled the scene.
Later, he regrouped with the Hellions and joined Feral in attacking Senator Owen Danville. He placed his own mind into the senator's body, which allowed them to easily kidnap him and bring him back to King Bedlam to witness the revival of the Armageddon Man. Ambushed by X-Force, Switch was taken out of the battle by Domino before he could get into any of the heroes' bodies. He soon recuperated, and after Tarot's betrayal, he joined King Bedlam and Feral in leaving before the Armageddon Man could do them any harm.
His current whereabouts are unknown since Decimation, an event where the Scarlet Witch depowered over 90% of the world's mutant population. Whether or not he remains a mutant has not been addressed.
