Who Is Durham Red? Origin, Powers and Key Facts

Who is Durham Red?

Durham Red was born after the Atomic War of 2150. Her vampire -like need for blood made her an outcast even among other mutants. When a chance to escape Milton Keynes ghetto came, she gladly joined the Search/Destroy agency as a bounty hunter, where her enhanced abilities came in handy. She spent decades on the frontier planets of the Galaxy, tracking down the lawless, the insane, or the merely unpopular, sometimes working with or against fellow Stronts like Johnny Alpha or Middenface McNulty , until she tired of the game and put herself in a voluntary suspended animation lasting centuries. When she woke, it was to a new order. "Normal" humans and the warped bloodlines of mutants remained separate; a war between them, along with meeting various alien races, had led to the Pan-Species Accord, which in theory gave mutants equality, but in practice those with undamaged genes held the real power. Red found that an entire religion had grown up around her, which saw her as a Saint of Mutants. Naturally, very few Normals saw her in that light.
