Not much is known about the mutant who had gone by the name Radian, until he became a student at the Xavier Institute. Born with the mutant ability to emit a blinding flash from his body; Radian had a difficult time fitting in, even at the Xavier Institute. His powers, along with his sister (who had formerly gone by the name Tattoo, now better known as Longstrike of the New Warriors), had developed their powers during Church, which had left him temporarily blind.
At Xavier’s Institute, Radian found himself a victim of Cassandra Nova’s mental control, in which he was forced to attack Wolverine, Beast and other X-Men. Radian would eventually be freed by the Stepford Cuckoos, during the battle against Cassandra Nova.
