History:
(Bishop#3 - BTS) - The woman who would become known as Amazon grew up in the dystopian future of Earth-1191. She was presumably in one of the many concentration camps for mutants where she was tattooed over the right eye with an "M", marking her as a mutant.

(X.S.E.#1 (fb) - BTS) - After the Summers Rebellion, Amazon became one of the founding members of the Xavier Security Enforcers alongside Trace, Recoil, Sureshot and commanding officer Hecate. The X.S.E.'s mission; close the mutant relocation camps, stop the branding of mutants and police mutantkind. As such she regularly worked alongside Recoil.

(Bishop#3 (fb) / X.S.E.#1 (fb) / Uncanny X-Men '96 (fb) ) - On the hunt for rogue mutants, Amazon and Recoil patrolled a mutant relocation camp when the vile Billiboy and Halftrack just killed Summers Rebellion veteran Hancock. Hancock had been taking care of the young mutant siblings Bishop and Shard after the loss of their grandmother. Successfully apprehending Billiboy and Halftrack before they could kill the mutant siblings, Amazon asked the young Bishop to join the X.S.E.. Bishop accepted the invitation on the terms that his sister Shard could join as well, Amazon allowed it.

(X.S.E.#1 - BTS) - Eventually the X.S.E. opened an academy to train younger generations of mutants to become X.S.E. officers, among those cadets were young Bishop, Shard and Trevor Fitzroy.

(X.S.E.#1 - BTS) - A year into the academy, senior X.S.E. officers Sureshot and Trace took their cadets on a training patrol. They, however, were ambushed by a group of Emplates, mutant energy-vampires, who easily killed both officers leaving the young cadets to fend for themselves.

(X.S.E.#2 (fb) ) - The young cadets managed to work together under Bishop's leadership until Amazon and X.S.E. reinforcements arrived to save the cadets. Amazon was proud Bishop had saved his class even though Sureshot, Trace and young cadet Hooper had lost their lives

Comments: Created by John Ostrander, Carlos Pacheco and Cam Smith

Although unrevealed, it seems likely Amazon fought during the Summers Rebellion.
