Holocaust

Holocaust is a mutant villain from the dystopian Age of Apocalypse reality, where he served as one of Apocalypse's ruthless Horsemen. His mutant abilities allow him to project devastating energy blasts and adapt his powers to overcome virtually any threat he encounters.

Born from the creative firepower of Fabian Nicieza, Scott Lobdell, Larry Stroman, and Andy Kubert, Holocaust first crashed onto the scene in 1993's Stryfe's Strike File #1 — a Copper/Modern Age Marvel debut that announced itself with unmistakable intensity. An X-Men affiliate whose 26-year publishing history stretched from 1993 all the way to 2019, this character carved out a presence across X-Men, Exiles, and Blink, sharing pages with titans like Magneto, Jean Grey, and Rogue along the way. With 25 catalog appearances, Holocaust is one of those figures who rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into the wilder corners of Marvel's mutant universe — a name that surfaces in some genuinely consequential storytelling. If you're tracing the full, sprawling tapestry of X-Men history, Holocaust is a thread worth pulling.
