- "Well, I think you've got... one less person to... to be afraid of..."
- ―Kelly's last words[src]
Senator Kelly is staunchly anti-mutant, arguing that they are a danger to "normal" people and should be locked away. He is kidnapped by Magneto's minion Mystique and is subjected to a process that transforms him into a mutant. Unbeknownst to Magneto, the process is ultimately fatal, with his body rejecting the process, and Kelly (now in a malleable jellyfish-like form who has power to stretch and be easily squished if pressure is applied) dies in the custody of the X-Men by evaporating into water. Prior to his death, he learns to accept at the very least "some" Mutants and is comforted by Storm.
X2: X-Men United
Mystique disguised herself as Kelly to continue using the Senator's political power to promote a pro-mutant agenda.
