Fictional character biography

Shepard is a mutant who attempted to manipulate Mystique into turning against Professor X, possessing inexplicable knowledge of her location. It was later revealed he was helping Shortpack to track down the murderer of Prudence Leighton and had insight into all of Mystique's endeavors.

No longer believing Mystique to be of use to him, Shepard holds Shortpack hostage and tracks Mystique to New York. However, Mystique works with Fantomex to stop him, and learns that Shepard is Prudence's brother.

Powers and abilities

Shepard possesses the mutant ability to project concussive, oil-like optic blasts. He also wields a special watch that enables him to teleport.
