Shatterstar
Super Name: Shatterstar
Real Name: Benjamin Russell
Nickname: Gaveedra Seven
Universe: Earth-616
A refugee from Mojoworld, Shatterstar came to earth and joined forces with Cable's New Mutants which soon transformed into X-Force. He is a militant individual, with a passion for war. He is a member of X-Factor Investigations and is in a relationship with fellow teammate Rictor.

Gaveedra-7, or Shatterstar as he is most commonly called, hails from a planet called Mojoworld, which is a unique reality 200 years in the future. When he first appeared in Earth-616, he believed himself to be a product of genetic engineering and that he had no parents, only a gestation chamber on Mojoworld, a world ruled by entertaining televised events/battles under the tyrannical rule of the "Spineless One" called Mojo V. It was later revealed that he is not only the son of Longshot and Dazzler sent to the future as a baby by his older self to continue the cycle of learning, he is also the genetic source for the creation of Longshot in the past.

Shatterstar's entire existence in the future was to serve as a slave to Mojo V and provide entertainment to the inhabitants of this work. He was engineered to have the perfect skills to make him both effective and entertaining in the gladiator arenas. Day in and day out Shatterstar would enter the arena to fight only so he could make others happy. The many long years as a slave and warrior in the arena, would mold Shatterstar in to the man he would become. Not only did he learn and perfect numerous fighting styles and abilities, Shatterstar also developed a strong sense of honor and pride as a warrior. This helped him deal with the amount of death he encountered on a daily basis. Eventually, though, he grew tired of being a slave and he decided he would do something about it.
