Decay (Jacob Lashinski) was a fictional elderly mutant from Marvel Comics who first appeared in Quicksilver #8.
Decay was recruited into the Acolytes, a group of mutant terrorists. Decay possessed the ability to drain the life force of others to boost his own failing health. When he did so, the person he had drained would crumble into dust.
Decay was probably the oldest member of the Acolytes. He was killed when he overloaded his powers trying to drain the super-enhanced High Evolutionary.[1]
