The Sublime wiki last edited by Symlen on 03/24/14 02:05PM View full history




In what it perceives as a fight against extinction, Sublime has put itself in direct opposition to mutant survival and success. It wishes to prevent continued mutancy and engineer the destruction of the mutant species permanently.

John Sublime

The primary possession by Sublime was an assistant of the Professor. He aided in the research in the Weapon Plus Program when the launching of Weapon X (the program that made Wolverine what he is, and would eventually function independently of Weapon Plus) was to take place. He later became the new head of Weapon Plus closed down the Weapon X project.

Weapons XI-XV were created during his leadership in The World with the intention to create a team of Super Sentinels that could exterminate the mutant population. John is in a way responsible for the death of long time X-man Jean Grey, which happened at the hands of Xorn, a mutant under the influence of Sublime by way of the drug Kick thinking himself a mad Magneto).

It was revealed that he had created the group of mutants, who sent the group of Predator X to Utopia.

X-Men Ally

Sublime next reemerged following the former X-Man Jubilee, who had recently taken in a young, presumably orphaned baby named Shogo. A former orphan herself before joining the mutant team, Jubilee went to her former teammates for help, leading Sublime right to the X-Men. Surprisingly, Sublime sought them out not for a battle but for help against his sister Arkea, who had returned to Earth and was in fact possessing Shogo, who was a patient of a hospital that gave cybernetic parts to humans who were ailing or critically injured in some way.

The X-Men immediately distrusted the man whom they've run into battle with several times in the past. Psylocke and Rachel Grey detained and interrogated Sublime until Arkea attacked the school from within by possessing the comatose the Omega Sentinel, also known as Karima Shapandar. With the school under siege, several X-Men banded together and with the knowledge of Sublime were able to temporarily defeat Arkea.

An erotic relationship arose between Grey and Sublime during his detention at the school and the two later entered a relationship, which raised eyebrows from her teammates. The consequences of this have yet to unfold and whether the relationship is a result of Sublime's manipulative ways or genuine feelings remain unseen.

Powers and Abilities

Sublime is a sentient bacteria that functions with one mind and consciousness. Sublime has the ability to infect other life forms, and can influence their behaviors and even gain complete control over those he infects. While Sublime easily infects humans, he has problems infecting mutants and sees their rise as a threat to his dominance and even believes they will cause his extinction.

Sublime has been known to infect mutants by way of the mutant-enhancing drug " Kick ". While kick was believed to originally be a drug that enhanced mutant abilities and give them a feeling of power and elation, it was eventually revealed that kick is the Sublime bacteria in aerosol form. This form allows him to influence the actions of mutants and amplify their mutant abilities, and with prolonged exposure even allows him to take complete control over their bodies.

As a living disease the sublime entity can not only control and manipulate the actions of it's host but can freely, radically alter the biological structure of whichever container it is currently housed within, showcasing enhanced regenerative capability after horrible incineration and again when hurled from a several story building only to completely reconstruct it's broken host. As well as alter the containers appearance at will coming off as a dessicated elder and transforming back to it's former semblance.

Alternate Universes


In the alternate future known as Here Comes Tomorrow the X-Men disbanded after the death of Jean Grey at the hands of Xorn (who was coincidentally under the influence of Sublime by way of the drug Kick). Beast attempted to keep the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning together for a time, but was quickly run down as a result. He turned to the drug kick for a boost, which eventually allowed Sublime to take control over his body. In this alternate future, Sublime attempts to gain control over the Phoenix Force in order to destroy all mutant life.

Earth-5700 Weapon X: Days of Future Now

When Wolverine finds Rachel Summers she sends him to the past and the rest was suposed to stay and give then cover,however Sublime killed then and possessed Logan causesing him to destroy Concord's face again. But Wolverine rejects his control and the bacteria find its host, a scientist of the Weapon Plus Program, John Sublime. And then the timeline converges with Earth-616.
