Orphan

Orphan is a member of the media-obsessed mutant celebrity team X-Force (later X-Statix), operating in Peter Milligan and Mike Allred's satirical reinvention of the franchise. He leads the squad through deadly, ratings-driven missions where fame and survival are equally precarious.

Born into the wild, satirical energy of Peter Milligan and Mike Allred's early 2000s Marvel reinvention, Orphan made their debut in X-Force #117 in 2001 — a Modern Age creation that crackles with the irreverent spirit that defined that landmark run. With 17 catalog appearances concentrated across X-Force and X-Statix, this character is woven into one of the most critically daring chapters in Marvel history, sharing pages with the likes of Guy Smith, the Anarchist, Dead Girl, and Phat. Two of those appearances carry key-issue weight, making Orphan a genuine collector's name to know. If you've ever wanted to explore the corner of Marvel where celebrity culture, mortality, and superhero absurdity collide in gorgeous Allred linework, Orphan is exactly the kind of figure worth tracking down.
