Who is Delgado?

Origin and history Delgado (Marco Delgado) was at times, targeted by his fellow Acolytes that were able to manipulate the abilities of their fellow brethren to strengthen Delgado's powers. Delgado died in the Asteroid M crash, along with many others. Necrosha Delgado returned to life via Selene' s mystical powers and Eli Bard 's control over the Transmode virus in Selene's attempt to seek revenge on the X-Men for standing in her way of her becoming a goddess. Alongside fellow revived Acolytes Seamus Mellencamp and Fabian Cortez , Delgado attacked X-Men's student Loa , demanding to know the whereabouts of their former leader (and current X-Man) Magneto . Deadpool , who had invited himself to stay on the mutant island of Utopia , heard Loa's cries and came to her aid. Remembering Cyclops rule of "no killing", Deadpool threw Loa at the Acolytes, who were disintegrated via her ability to "swim" through solid matter. While most revived mutants were unable to be killed, it is not known if Delgado and the Acolytes were able to recover from Deadpool and Loa's assault. Creation Delgado was created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1991 and first appeared in X-Men # 1.
