X-Treme

X-Treme, also known as Adam-X or Adam-X the X-Treme, is a Marvel Comics superhero. He was originally planned to be the rumored "third Summers brother" to siblings Cyclops and Havok, but that potential plot-twist was dropped when his creator, Fabian Nicieza stopped writing X-Men in 1995.

Origin

Adam Neramani is the son of the former emperor of the Shi'ar, D'Ken Neramani, and an unidentified non-Shi'ar woman. His mother is strongly believed to be human, and it has been suggested that she may have been Katherine Summers, the mother of the X-Men Cyclops and Havok, and wife of Corsair. After his birth on the Shi'ar world Ch'ylaritha, Adam was subjected to heavy genetic engineering to increase his physical potential to near superhuman levels, and to unlock his latent X-Gene. Under unrevealed circumstances, Adam was brought to the planet Ch'reesharaa, where he was left in the care of a farmer named Jonath; he grew into a young man, unaware of his parentage.

A rebellious youth, Adam eventually left his homeworld and fled the empire to each for the truth behind his non-Shi'ar heritage. Adam eventually arrived on Earth, where he encountered the mutant criminal Martin Strong, who dubbed him "Adam-X the X-Treme". Adam quickly fell in love with Strong's "employee" Neurotap and agreed to work for Strong, hunting down and capturing other mutants. An encounter with the mutant vigilante team X-Force led Adam to reconsider his new career, and he agreed to join the team in opposing Strong. In the ensuing confrontation, Neurotap betrayed Adam to side with Strong; though hurt and disillusioned, Adam rallied to defeat her, then aided X-Force's leader Cable in defeating Strong. After the battle, Cable extended an offer for Adam to join X-Force, but Adam turned him down, more concerned with his quest to learn where he came from.

Recent Storylines

Adam Neramani's recent activities remain mostly unrevealed, other than one instance in which he teamed with Captain Marvel (Genis-Vell) in a battle with the Shi'ar agent Eric the Red and a squad of Sidri hunters. During the battle, Eric informed Adam of his true parentage, and declared that as D'Ken's son, Adam was the true destined ruler of the Shi'ar Empire. Adam rejected this though, and used his mutant powers to apparently kill Eric. Adam and Genis parted ways as allies, and Adam presumably returned to exploring his history by roaming the Earth.
