History: (Generation X I#13 (fb) - BTS) - Through unrevealed ways,
Italian mutant Vincente came across the mutant bone marrow craving
Emplate. He was recruited by Emplate.
(Generation X I#11 (fb) - BTS) - Vincente arrived at Gayle Edgerton's estate, which Emplate was temporarily using as his base on Earth. He waited around until the villain had gathered his team and Generation X was in a vulnerable position.
(Generation X I#12) - When Banshee took Generation X on a
school trip to Boston, Emplate figured this was the ideal moment to
strike. While he went to the Massachusetts Academy to claim Penance,
Vincente followed Mondo, Jubilee, Synch and Husk around. When they went
inside Ye Olde Plate Of Beans for a bite to eat, he hid inside one of
the pans the waiter brought to their table. As soon as Jubilee lifted
the lid, he attacked them as a powerful knock out gas, easily
overpowering the "suckers" within moments. Vincente returned the
unconscious Gen X'ers to the Academy, where Emplate and his teammates had
already tied up the remaining members of Generation X. A gloating
Emplate waited to welcome back the wayward M, who was so stunned to see
what had happened in her absence, she was captured within seconds.
(Generation
X I#13) - While Emplate gloated about his effortless victory, M managed
to escape unseen. Vincente and his teammate Bulwark were sent after
her. Bulwark was the first to catch up with M, moments after she'd
jerry-rigged the Academy's communications system to warn the X-Men. The
super strong Bulwark was eventually defeated by the power-draining
Leech, who was then-currently living at the school. After M made sure
Leech and his friend Artie Maddicks were safe inside their tree house,
she was attacked by Vincente in mid-air. He slipped inside her lungs as
a noxious mist, forcing her to crash. As she wretched and hurled him
out of her system, he manifested and properly introduced himself. Mere
seconds after deciding "Vincente" was a better codename than "Misty,"
he was surprised by the arrival of the X-Man Bishop, who pulled a gun
on him.
(Generation X I#14) - Bishop, ready to fire at Vincente,
listened as M told him what Emplate was doing. They were interrupted by
Vincente's teleporting ally Murmur, who surprised Bishop by hitting him
in the face. Bishop focused his attention to the new arrival. As he
attacked Murmur, Bishop reminded M that he had fought Emplate's thralls
in his own timeline and that compassion wasn't a luxury they could
afford. Vincente sneeringly assured the X-Man that some of Emplate's
victims were actually quite enjoying themselves. To prove his point, he
told Murmur to get away while he himself slipped into Bishop's lungs.
Through a supreme effort, Bishop was able use his energy redirection
powers to forcibly expel Vincente from his system. The misty mutant then
disappeared to parts unknown.
(Generation X I#57 (fb) - BTS) - Vincente eventually returned to
Emplate's employ and, along with D.O.A. and new recruits Nocturne and
Wrap, was sent to the Massachusetts Academy to capture Penance. To make
sure they would not be interrupted, Emplate kept Generation X distracted
by attacking during the Academy's annual Spring dance.
(Generation X I#57) - Vincente and the others had cornered Penance in
her attic living quarters when Chamber, M, Synch and the visiting Iceman
arrived to save her. Vincente boasted that his poisons could even affect
Chamber but before he could make good on his threat, he was enveloped by
Iceman's intensely cold ice sheath, effectively putting the vaporous
mutant out of commission.
Comments: Created by Scott Lobdell (writer), Tom
Grummett (pencils) and Mark Buckingham (inks).
Vincente was, rather obviously, based on the Earth-295 member of
Generation X who had the same name, appearance and power set. Contrary
to his far more heroic counterpart, the Earth-616 version was rather
loathsome, though that might have been a result of Emplate's influence.
