CALLISTO

CALLISTO

Callisto is a Marvel Comics fictional character, associated with the X-Men. She was the leader of New York City's subterranean mutant settlement the Morlocks. However, after a run-in with the X-Men, Callisto lost a duel with Storm for leadership of the Morlocks. Storm left the group in Callisto's care and the two have had an uneasy alliance ever since.


A mutant, Callisto possesses enhanced senses of sight (including night vision), hearing, smell, taste, and touch, and possibly moderate degrees of enhanced strength and agility. It has also been suggested that her mutant power grants her tactical brilliance that allows her to see the best way to engage in any given conflict. Callisto lost her mutant powers after the House of M;her powers were restored through use of the Terrigen Mist, although her senses were enhanced to a point where normal sensations became painful.

Callisto also has excellent hand-to-hand combat skills, and is an exceptional hunter and tracker. She is usually armed with knives.

Thanks to fellow mutant Masque her arms were altered into a set of multiple prehensile tentacles on both side.
