Art by Steve Skroce. As Mr. Tolliver: X-Force #5 (December 1991) As Genesis: Cable #19 (January 1995) Rob Liefeld (artist) Genesis (Tyler Dayspring) is a fictional character appearing in Marvel Comics. He was a mutant and recurring foe of Cable and Wolverine. He first appeared in a flashback in X-Force #1 (August 1991), and appeared as Mister Tolliver in X-Force #5 (1992) and his first appearance as Genesis was in Cable #19. Some sources state that he is Cable's son, while others claim that he is the son of Cable's villainous clone Stryfe.

Fictional character biography

Tyler Dayspring is the son of Nathan Summers and his wife Aliya Dayspring and was born 2,000 years in the future. As a teenager, Tyler is abducted by the villain Stryfe and manipulated into joining his service. He captures Dawnsilk, a friend of Nathan, as a hostage. Seeing no other solution, Nathan shoots Tyler, freeing Dawnsilk. Tyler survives, but is embittered at Nathan for shooting him.

Tyler arrives in the present day and establishes the identity of "Tolliver", a masked merchant. Seeking revenge against his father, now known as Cable, Tyler hires the Six Pack and sends them to battle Stryfe. This mission results in the Six Pack disbanding and most of the members hating Cable afterwards.

After Tyler is apparently killed in a helicopter explosion, various mercenaries begin searching for his legacy, known only as the ultimate weapon. The weapon turns out to be the futuristic android Zero.

Tyler is later revealed to have survived. Now working with Zero, he discovers that Stryfe is a clone of Cable. He reveals this knowledge to Cable, who has been possessed by Stryfe. Hurt by this revelation, Stryfe is apparently killed, freeing Cable from his control.

Under his "Genesis" identity, Tyler considers himself the new heir of Apocalypse and chooses Wolverine to turn into a Horseman of Apocalypse. He attempts to erase Wolverine's mind and restore his adamantium skeleton, but is unsuccessful. Wolverine reverts to a feral state and kills Genesis.
