Paul Patterson, a.k.a Golden Child, is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe whose first appearance was in Marvel Team-Up vol. 3 #1.
A former student from Midtown High School, he accidentally killed his father when his powers manifested, however he actually enjoyed it and began slaying homeless people.[1] He was discovered by Spider-Man and Wolverine but vanished in an explosion when Wolverine disrupted his power by stabbing him in the arm with a claw.[2] He next reappeared and encountered the Hulk and was captured by a version of Tony Stark from an alternate reality, who sought to use him to return to his home dimension. He once again vanished when X-23 stabbed him but reappeared next to the Wendigo.
Paul lost his mutant powers after the M-Day.[3]
