Who is Senyaka?

Origin Senyaka's origin is not known. Creation Senyaka was created by Scott Lobdell and John Romita Jr in 1993 and first appeared in Uncanny X-Men # 300. Story Arcs Senyaka is a mutant recruited by Fabian Cortez as a member of a second group of the Acolytes . On their first mission, this new team of Acolytes attacked the Our Mother of The Sacred Heart school whilst searching for a mutant child. During the assault, Senyaka displeased his lord Magneto after critically injuring a human nurse with his energy coils and was subsequently slain by Magneto who crushed the life out of Senyaka with his own coils. It is worth noting, however, that Magneto killed him because he had acted without Magneto's approval, not because of Senyaka's sadistic nature. Magneto explained that, had he been present, he would have given Senyaka his blessing, but as he was not, he punished the Acolyte for acting without his orders. Senyaka survived, however, by siphoning the life energy from agents from the international law enforcement agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D.
