Description
Name: Kyle Gibney
Group: Alpha Flight, Hellions(Essex),
First Appearance: Alpha Flight #1
(May, 1983)

"There's only room for one at the top of the food chain...and Romulus? He's getting too old for this. It's time to name a successor--but first, they have to prove, they're worthy. By killin' off all the others"- Wild Child

When Kyle Gibney's mutant powers began to emerge at an early age, he was left with a freakish appearance. Horrified, his parents kicked him out of his home, and he was left wandering the streets. Eventually found by the subversive organization, the Secret Empire, Gibney was experimented upon in their attempts to create a perfect killing machine. As a part of the experiment, Gibney was injected with DNA from the assassin Wyre, which left Gibney near-mindless, animalistic, and uncontrollable. Wyre later rebelled and destroyed the Secret Empire's headquarters.

Kyle soon found himself slipping into his bestial nature more and more often. One time in particular, he savagely went on another rampage, in the process attacking his teammate Pathway. Gamma Flight's former leader, Nemesis, teleported Kyle away to an unknown location, professing to have a solution. He reappeared months later as Weapon Omega, mysteriously cured of his animalistic rages and possessing a handsome appearance. He helped Alpha Flight on numerous occasions, soon joining their team once more.

Following the establishment of the mutant nation of Krakoa, Kyle was one of many mutants who went to live on the island. No longer taking the pills Department H had developed for him, Kyle became feral. After attacking a small child who interrupted him in a hunt, he fell under the care of Sage who attempted to medicate him. Kyle resisted the attempts at treating him, feigned taking the pills until he saw his opportunity to attack Sage.

Due to this, Kyle was assigned by the Quiet Council to Mister Sinister's team of Hellions; composed of mutants who were too violent or troubled due to their mutation, led by Psylocke (Kwannon).

Their first mission led them to taking down the State Home for Foundlings in Omaha, Nebraska, which was a cover for Sinister's still active Marauders cloning farm. When Kyle and the Hellions arrived, they were confronted by and battled the Goblin Queen and her perverse Marauders, whom she had been magically torturing. After a swift defeat, most of the Hellions were captured, except for Kyle and Psylocke, who he had the urge to attack after believing she was faulting as the alpha. After his quick defeat and Psylocke cleansing his mind of his feral nature (for the moment), Kyle returned to his more civilized self, speaking in coherent and complete sentences.

After Madelyne Pryor was shot dead by John Greycrow, Havok blew up the clone farm in anger, with Kyle and the Hellions escaping safely outside. After returning to Krakoa, Kyle was seen following Psylocke around, having accepted her as his alpha.

He was later killed by the Locus Vile while on a mission with the Hellions to Arakko, and was resurrected by the Five. As a result of dying in the dimension of Amenth he came back with stronger abilities and a drastically different personality. These changes made him more aggressive, confident and impulsive, taking the lead in a fight against The Right and attacking Daken at the Hellfire Gala and gave him the desire to be stronger than other feral mutants. Unfortunately this upgrade was short lived as the Locus Vile soon came confront them on their theft of Locus Vile DNA, and Kyle was stripped of his new powers by Tarn the Uncaring becoming meek and submissive as a result. After the team was disbanded and he witnessed Nanny and Orphan-Maker be put in the Pit of Exile for losing control, Kyle was put back into the care of Dr. Reyes and Sage but this time took his medication willingly without a sound or movement.
