Who is Slipstream?

Slipstream is a mutant who debuted in Chris Claremont's X-Treme X-Men series, where he joined the cast alongside Storm and other X-Men. He possesses the ability to create teleportation warp-waves, allowing him to surf through space at incredible speeds.

Bursting onto the scene in 2002 courtesy of Chris Claremont and Salvador Larroca, Slipstream is a Modern Age Marvel creation who made their debut in the pages of X-Treme X-Men — one of the most ambitious X-books of its era. With a collector-significant key issue to their name and appearances alongside heavy-hitters like Storm (Ororo Munroe), Slipstream occupies an intriguing corner of early 2000s mutant mythology. Their footprint in the catalog is compact but curated, turning up in X-Men: Divided We Stand and earning a spot in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: X-Men 2005 — the kind of recognition reserved for characters who genuinely matter to the tapestry. A hidden gem for fans who love digging into the Claremont-era deep cuts.
