Page "Shard (comics)" Paragraph 1

Shard was a Lieutenant in Xavier's Security Enforcers, ( X. S. E.

) with her older brother Bishop in their native timeline in the 2080s.

She is the daughter of mutant Aborigine refugees ( their ancestor is the mutant Gateway ) who fled Australia for America the day before it was devastated in a nuclear attack.

Shard was born and raised in a mutant concentration camp, in which mutants were branded over their right eyes with the letter " M " for recognition.

In Uncanny X-Men Annual # 17, Shard is stated as having the mutant ability of " transubbing ambient light into concussive force ".
