FLEX
Real Name: Adrian Corbo
Group Affiliation: Beta Flight, former member of Alpha Flight
First Appearance: Alpha Flight #-1
Creators: Steve Seagle & Scott Clark

        Almost nothing is known of Adrian Corbo's past. Both he and his half- brother, Jared were wards of Hull House in Orloo, Ontario, before they were recruited by Department H for Alpha Flight. [The two brothers share a common mother. -C]

        Originally a shy, nervous person, Adrian grew quite a bit through his involvement with Alpha Flight, proving his worth while battling beside the team several times over.

        During his time with Alpha Flight Adrian instituted a web search for both his father and Jared's. Although Flex claims to have found an answer to the mystery of his father, the information was not revealed "on screen" before the cancellation of Alpha Flight v2.

        In Wolverine #142 it was revealed that Flex, along with the other "junior" members of Alpha Flight, became a part of a revamped Beta Flight. It is unknown how long that team lasted. He was not approached by Sasquatch for service in Alpha Flight v3.

        It has been widely reported that Adrian Corbo was a mutant who was depowered during the M-Day incident. His current activities and whereabouts are unknown.

        Adrian Corbo possessed the ability to "flex" all or part of his body into sheets of "organic metal." The edges of these sheets were extremely sharp, and Adrian can also form the sheets into a point. Flex could bludgeon opponents with the "flat" of his sheets (his preferred mode of combat), slice them with the sharp edge, or stab them with the point (if he's created one.) By "flexing" his torso and legs into one large sheet Adrian once created a protective barrier for his team-mates.
