Who is Sway?

Sway is a mutant recruited by Professor X as part of a secret team of X-Men, revealed through Ed Brubaker's retcon of X-Men history in Deadly Genesis. Her power allows her to manipulate time in her immediate vicinity, making her a unique asset on this covert squad.

Emerging from one of the most gripping retcons in modern Marvel history, Sway made her debut in Ed Brubaker and Trevor Hairsine's X-Men: Deadly Genesis #3 in 2006 β€” a series that rewrote what fans thought they knew about the X-Men's past. She's a character whose story is bound up with secrets and sacrifice, sharing the page with heavy hitters like Wolverine, Cyclops, and Vulcan across her appearances. Though her catalog footprint is compact, her presence in Jonathan Hickman's celebrated Reign of X era shows she's a figure the Marvel universe hasn't forgotten. For readers who love discovering the hidden corners of X-Men lore, Sway is exactly the kind of character worth digging into.
