Not much is known about the mutant who had gone by the name Tattoo, until she became a student at the Xavier Institute. Born with the mutant ability to display messages and images on her skin, as well as phase through solid matter; Tattoo had a difficult time fitting in, even at the Xavier Institute. Her powers, along with her brother (who had formerly gone by the name Radian, now better known as Phaser of the New Warriors), had developed their powers during Church, in which her skin changed the tone of its color, as well as all of her hair suddenly falling out.
At Xavier’s Institute, Tattoo found herself a victim of Cassandra Nova’s mental control, in which she was forced to attack Wolverine, Beast and other X-Men. Tattoo would eventually be freed by the Stepford Cuckoos, during the battle against Cassandra Nova.
