X-Commies: Origin #4 - Terminatress and the Ape

When the terminatress' powers manifested at the age of 13, she sent her poor boyfriend into a 6 month coma because he was too in love with her. Traumatized, she ran away from town. It's similiar to the story of Rogue from the X-Men, only the adventure that followed turned out to be a bit different.

While she was sitting under a tree, a monkey jumped from above onto her head. Frantically, she threw the monkey to the ground. Just then, a very nice boy called Eddie was passing by and thought Joanne needed help, so he ran toward her.

Joanne tussled with the monkey, and in desperation used her mutant powers to stare at the monkey. The monkey was then transfixed in a daze, standing there being stared at. Just then, Eddie leaped out of no where, and just before he said anything Joanne used her right eye to stare at Eddie, thinking he meant her harm.

So Joanne stared at the monkey and Eddie at the same time. Being new to her powers, she could not control herself well and stared at them to the point where the monkey died. Eddie, however, got infused by the traits of the monkey and received superhuman agility. The blueness of his skin is due to his near death state because of suffocation. His skin turned blue, but never recovered. All of these is most probably due to the transfusion of the monkey's anatomy into Eddie's body.

To cut a long story short. Eddie from then on, was madly in love with the Terminatress, and followed her almost everywhere she went. The Terminatress, being sympathetic, became his good friend, and eventually fell in love with him.

And so is the story of the X-Commies only romance so far.
