Biography[]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine[]

Chris Bradley was a member of Team X. He piloted the team's plane with his ability to manipulate electricity. In their search for adamantium the team was trapped in an elevator when its power was cut off. Bradley used his ability to power and control the lift.

When Team X disbanded six years after the events in Africa, Bradley moved to a carnival in Springfield, Ohio, where he cheated people out of money by challenging them to turn off a light bulb that he was powering. In his trailer there are hundreds of electrical items that Bradley controls. Former Team X member Victor Creed arrives at his door and kills Bradley. Due to his death all the lights at the carnival switch off.

Bradley's electrical capabilities are later used for the mutant killer Weapon XI/Deadpool.

Trivia[]

When Logan prevented the Sentinel-dominated future from happening in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Chris' death never happened, as Team X was never formed. Thus, he along with other members of Team X, were never hunted and killed by Victor Creed; but it is unknown whether he is currently alive or not.
In Logan, Chris Bradley's DNA was used in the creation of the X-23 children. His DNA would result in the birth of the mutant child known as Bobby.
