Fictional Character Biography (Origin)
James Proudstar was born on the Apache reservation at Camp Verde, Arizona. James' brother, John Proudstar, was one of the "All New, All Different" X-Men. John was killed on one of the team's earliest missions. James angrily
blamed the X-Men for his brother's death and made it his life's mission
to murder its founder, Professor Charles Xavier.
Powers and Abilities (Warpath)
Warpath is a mutant who possesses superhuman physical ability in virtually all areas:
He possesses superhuman strength (used as his main power in X-Force,
as the team 'strong guy') with his current power levels showing him
capable of toppling a Sentinel by clapping, the resulting air pressure
causing it to collapse. He has even directly fought with and managed to
hold his own against the Juggernaut.
He possesses superhuman resistance to injury, at least enough to withstand short-range firepower, grenade explosions, and even a direct telekinetic attack from an Alpha-level mutant psionic such as Exodus. He also repairs and
regenerates damaged and destroyed tissue much faster than a normal
human, as well as revives and recuperates from exhaustion and fatigue
much faster than a normal human. He possesses superhuman agility & flexibility, as he has been
officially stated to "move with the grace an Olympic gold-medalist would
envy" and "swim with the ease of a porpoise."
His power of flight was discovered by his one-time mentor and team leader Peter Wisdom,
who analyzed his mutation after the High Evolutionary devolved and
re-evolved all mutants on Earth, and forced James to incorporate this
ability in his fighting style. This power has not been depicted in later comic storylines, although writer Ed Brubaker
has said that he chose not to depict Warpath's flight power because he
didn't understand how Warpath's speed and strength would allow it. However, his fighting style in the Messiah Complex storyline has shown him to return to using his flight powers. In X-Force he can be seen flying even for long distances. It has since been suggested by writer Christopher Yost that "I thought he was a little embarrassed by the whole flying thing".
Warpath's senses, particularly sight, smell and hearing, are enhanced
to levels beyond the capabilities of a normal human. He is able to see
with perfect clarity at much greater distances than an ordinary human.
He retains this same level of visual clarity, even in near-total
darkness. His hearing is similarly heightened, enabling him to both
clearly hear sounds that ordinary humans can't and sounds that they can
detect but at much greater distances.
After nearly getting killed by Reignfire,
Warpath experienced an increase in senses and speed that allowed him to
perform feats he had previously not been aware he was capable of, such
as run at high speeds up to at least 150 km/h (roughly 93 mph) for long
distances and quickly climb building walls by rapidly digging his hands
and feet into the bare concrete. He can even evade weapon fire with rapid reflexes and reactions.
Aside from his natural physical attributes, Warpath is well versed in
hand-to-hand combat, which is enhanced by his superhuman
reflex/reaction rate and eye/ear-hand/foot coordination. He was trained
in unarmed combat under the guidance of White Queen and was personally extensively trained in the use of the staff by his long-time teammate star Mojoverse gladiator Shatterstar - who he eventually matched in a record time of only a dozen tries - at the insistence of their mentor Cable. He currently wields a pair of bowie knives composed of vibranium, given to him by Storm,
with which he has proved to be highly proficient in combat. James is
also a skilled hunter and tracker in his native Apache tradition.
Ghost Rider activated limited Apache shaman abilities within James,
in order to help him fight the Demon Bear. He could perceive the
creature's wounds and the resulting spirit energy when it was destroyed.
In Other Media (Film/Movie)
Warpath will appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past (confirmed by Bryan Singer in a Vine posted on his twitter)...
