Fictional character biography
Neophyte is a Swiss member of the Acolytes who can phase his body and others, allowing complete intangibility and high-speed transport through inanimate matter. The youngest member of the group, he is assigned tasks of little importance and does not accompany the other Acolytes into battle.[2] Neophyte later helps the X-Men infiltrate the Acolytes' base before leaving both teams to search for meaning on his own terms.[3][4][5]
The Acolytes later capture Neophyte and put him on trial for betraying them. They decide to sentence him to death before Colossus convinces them otherwise.[6][7][4]
Neophyte eventually returns to the Acolytes after Magneto resurfaces. He retains his powers following M-Day, moves to Utopia, and later helps Cyclops fight the Nimrods.[8][9]
Powers and abilities
Neophyte can make himself and others intangible, enabling them to travel through and merge with inorganic material. This also enables him to split and reform his body.[2]
Other versions
An alternate universe variant of Neophyte from Earth-11326 appears in Age of X: Communiques #1.[10]
