Kevin MacTaggert

Description

Kevin MacTaggert is Proteus, the reality-warping mutant son of X-Men ally Moira MacTaggert, first appearing in Uncanny X-Men #125 in 1979. Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, he possesses the ability to warp reality but exists as an energy being that rapidly burns through human host bodies, making him an unstable and uniquely dangerous threat. He appeared as the primary antagonist during the X-Men's visit to Muir Island and remains one of the most powerful villains in the team's history.
