History:
(X-Men: Manifest Destiny#3/2 (fb) ) - Born in pre-revolutionary America, Jonas was the only son to Charles and Marcia Graymalkin, part of a colony who lived in the province of New York. At the time there was much strife in the colony over the turmoil concerning taxes and representation of the British parliament, something which the sixteen year old Jonas didn't concern himself with. In fact Jonas had realized he was gay and while experimenting with another boy in his family's barn they were discovered by his father, Charles. Seeing the two boys Charles could only utter one word; "abomination". Jonas was nearly beaten to death by his father who then sought to bury him in the nearby woods. As Jonas was pushed into a hole in the ground his father failed to realize his son was still alive but didn't stop and covered the grave with dirt. Buried alive in total darkness caused Jonas to manifest his mutant abilities which allowed him to survive some 200 years underground.
(Uncanny X-Men I#493 - BTS / Young X-Men#10 (fb) ) - During the Messiah Complex affair, the giant Sentinels charged with protecting the Xavier Institute malfunctioned. The X-Men eventually defeated them, but the struggle destroyed the Xavier Institute. In the ruins, a mutant called Cipher discovered and saved the mutant Jonas Graymalkin who was revealed to have been buried on the grounds since the late 18th century when his father left him for dead because he caught Jonas making out with a boy. The shock triggered Graymalkin's darkness powered mutant survival powers. Risen from the grave, Graymalkin and Cipher quickly became friends, both keeping their identity secret from the other X-Men.
(Young X-Men#1 - BTS) - One of the X-Men's students Blindfold (Ruth Aldine) experienced a precognitive vision of the future in which she witnessed X-Men villain Donald Pierce kill one of the students. In this vision an injured Blindfold was helped by Graymalkin who wore an X-Men costume.
(Young X-Men#1 - BTS) - X-Men villain Donald Pierce disguised himself as Cyclops and approached several students to join his new X-Men team, including Wolf Cub, Dust, Blindfold, Rockslide, along with a new "mutant" Ink. Pierce claimed that they were the last generation of mutants on Earth (because the newborn mutant Hope had vanished) and that they were going to have to fight a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants after which he showed them the New Mutants (Cannonball, Magma, Sunspot and Moonstar). Pierce's team of Young X-Men moved into what he called the Danger Cave underneath the ruins of Xavier Institute. Unbeknownst to Pierce or the mutants, Cipher and Graymalkin also moved in and quickly discovered who "Cyclops" really was.
(Young X-Men#2) - Over the next three weeks, Graymalkin and Cipher watched as "Cyclops" trained the Young X-Men, honing their killing skills. After a while, "Cyclops" decided it was time to face the new "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" and split up the team to go and fight Magma and Moonstar. Wolf Cub, Dust and Rockslide were put on the Gold Team, tasked to combat Magma. Blindfold and Ink were designated Blue Team and ordered to attack Moonstar. Graymalkin watched them from the shadows while Cipher decided to join the blue team to keep an eye out for Blindfold. During the mission Cipher witnessed with Moonstar down Ink turned on Blindfold as part of a secret deal he'd made with Donald Pierce, who offered him a lot of money to deliver the mutant seer (Ink was not aware Pierce was posing as Cyclops). Cipher thought it best to keep her presence a secret and follow Ink back to the Danger Cave.
(Young X-Men#3 / Young X-Men#10 (fb) ) - Cipher witnessed how Ink delivered both Moonstar and Blindfold to Pierce in a deserted railroad in Manhattan. She then stayed on board the plane, traveling back with Ink to the Danger Cave where Ink lied to "Cyclops" saying Moonstar's powers had returned and took them by surprise. Cipher made her way up to Graymalkin's hideout to ask him to help her save Blindfold from Pierce. Graymalkin reasoned that he wasn't the only one left who could help them: Cypher could also help, but Cipher quickly stated her name was Cipher not Cypher and eventually managed to persuade Graymalkin to come out of hiding and kill "Cyclops".
(Young X-Men#4) - Graymalkin stalked "Cyclops" to the control room where the villain was coaching a team consisting of Rockslide, Wolf Cub and Ink to infiltrate the Hellfire Club to attack Cannonball and Sunspot. Graymalkin jumped "Cyclops", hitting the villain in the face while calling him a "turncoat" and "brigand", unaware who his assailant was Pierce kept his disguise up but couldn't stop Graymalkin from destroying the lights. Now in the pitch-dark Graymalkin easily removed "Cyclops'" fake visor after which he stated that in the dark there was none stronger than him, upon that note Pierce dropped his disguise.
(Young X-Men#5) - Pierce soon managed to get the lights back up and knocked Graymalkin into the glass statue of Dust (turned into glass by Magma in an earlier fight), the still unseen Cipher opened Magma's prison cell. Pierce teleported back to the tunnels, while Magma helped Dust to heal. Magma, Dust and Graymalkin then teamed up to find the Gold Team and informed them who "Cyclops" really was. Reunited, both Young X-Men and the older New Mutants joined up to finish Pierce once and for all. Tracking him down to one of the Mole Man's former underground bases Graymalkin left the group to go and find Cipher and ask how she survived the plane's explosion. She then showed Graymalkin to the prison where Blindfold and Moonstar were held. But upon rescuing the girls they were shocked by a loud scream. Dust had used her abilities to remove the skin from Pierce's face, upon returning to the group Graymalkin and the others witnessed how Pierce killed Wolf Cub with his razor sharp claws. Furious, Rockslide defeated Pierce but refused to kill him, honoring the dying Wolf Cub's final request.
(Young X-Men#6) - Graymalkin joined the Young X-Men and delivered Donald Pierce as a prisoner to the X-Men. However, Graymalkin and the others were in for a shock when Rockslide attacked the real Cyclops and broke the man's jaw in three places, unable to deal with what had happened. When the air was cleared Graymalkin was introduced to the X-Men and submitted to several tests performed by Dr. Henry McCoy. McCoy discovered that Graymalkin wasn't only a mutant but that he was related to another one of the X-Men: Charles Xavier. McCoy concluded that the seventeen year old boy wasn't descendant but ancestor as Jonas Graymalkin was over 200 years old.
(Young X-Men#6) - After the destruction of the Xavier Institute, the X-Men and other students moved to Graymalkin Industries in San Francisco, the new home of the X-Men. The real Cyclops decided to keep the Young X-Men together and chose Danielle Moonstar and Sunspot to lead them. With a little help from Nightcrawler they located the Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill as the Young X-Men's base. It was also decided Anole (Victor Borkowski) would join the Young X-Men as well.
(X-Men: Manifest Destiny#3/2) - Anole and Graymalkin took some time to get to know each-other whilst sitting near the Golden Gate Bridge. Graymalkin confided in Anole and told him his origin story.
(Hulk Team-Up I#1) - Anole, Graymalkin, Armor and other students where present when the X-Men discussed multiple reports of a powerful mutant rampaging through the bay area. The "mutant" was in fact the Hulk (Dr. Bruce Banner).
(Secret Invasion: X-Men#1 - BTS / Secret Invasion: X-Men#3 (fb) - BTS) - Graymalkin and Anole left the Grace Cathedral to help the X-Men deal with the Skrull invasion in downtown San Francisco.
(Secret Invasion: X-Men#3) - Graymalkin was present with the X-Men when Anole returned from a reconnaissance mission, telling he failed to find the Skrull vehicle hangars but witnessed the Skrulls rounding up civilians. Graymalkin, Anole and the X-Men decided to investigate and see where the Skrulls were taking the civilians.
(Secret Invasion: X-Men#4) - Graymalkin was present when the X-Men were deciding upon a way to fight the Skrulls.
(Young X-Men#7) - While the Young X-Men went out on a mission to find fifty-six construction workers who'd gone missing on an uncharted island Graymalkin stayed behind to meet Emma Frost. Frost wanted to help and mentor the young boy, realizing that he must've been traumatized for being buried alive for over 200-years. Graymalkin, however, found it difficult to follow Frost's modern vocabulary as he wasn't too familiar with eloquent/modern words. During their conversation Frost explained she was a telepath and could read people's mind something which she frequently used to help troubled students but upon asking Graymalkin permission to read his he grew angry and refused.
(Young X-Men#8) - The still unseen Cipher joined Graymalkin and the Young X-Men on their latest mission locating Leon Nunez a mutant tattoo artist who'd given Ink his powers. Since they discovered Nunez had also given powers to known criminal Julio Rodriguez the team decided to step in. Whilst on board of the X-Jet en route to La Jolla, Graymalkin told Cipher to reveal herself to the team because they were good people, Cipher refused. Upon arriving, they quickly located Nunez and gained information on where to find Rodriguez. The Young X-Men found Rodriguez with his brother Carlos and two other criminals who'd been tatted-up by Nunez. Declaring themselves the Y-Men, the four super powered-criminals fought the team and gained the upper hand when they shot Moonstar and countless other Y-Men revealed their presence. The undetectable Cipher of whom still nobody (except for Graymalkin) knew was on the team realized keeping her identity a secret would mean certain doom for her friends decided to go and get help. Cipher located Ink, who'd left the team and just beaten-up two criminals of the Hellfire Cult. Cipher revealed her true identity to Ink reminding him he was still an X-Man and his team needed him.
(Young X-Men#9) - Graymalkin and the Young X-Men continued their fight against the Y-Men, during the fight Anole counted ninety-nine of them. Much later during the night while the battle still raged on Cipher and Ink arrived, Ink had taken the extra time to confront his tattoo artist Nunez and forced him to give him two new tattoos as part of his plan. On the palm of his right hand a tattoo was placed of a healing symbol and a Phoenix tattoo over his eye. Ink's plan seemed to work as he used his new healing powers to rescue Moonstar after which he used his new Phoenix-like power to remove all the superhuman powers from the Y-Men. Graymalkin and the Young X-Men were shocked at the sight of Ink's Phoenix-like abilities. After the Y-Men had been taken care of the Young X-Men returned home. Back home Graymalkin decided to go and talk to Ink since he'd noticed that the others didn't really talk to him. Graymalkin offered his hand in friendship something which Ink gladly accepted.
(Young X-Men#10) - Thinking themselves to be alone Ink asked Graymalkin who the hell Cipher was anyway, after which Cipher immediately revealed her presence, told Ink that it wasn't any of his business and left the room by phasing through the floor. Graymalkin then continued that she was indeed her friend and revealed how she'd rescued him from under the rubble of the Xavier Institute.
(Young X-Men#11) - Graymalkin took part in a training session with the full force of the Young X-Men, fighting a towering robot. The team was surprised when Dust suddenly collapsed, the training session was halted to check in on their teammate. Dust hastily commented she just lost her focus and quickly left the training room, the team, however, was unaware Dust was dying at a cellular level since being turned to glass by Magma. In a desperate act Dust then freed Donald Pierce from his prison cell because he'd promised he could cure her. Dust and Pierce rushed toward an escape ship, but were blocked by Beast, Cyclops, Moonstar, Sunspot and Wolverine. Faced with the decision of helping Pierce or attacking her friends, Dust turned on Pierce, ripping the flesh off his robotic form. Pierce held his own against the mutants until the Young X-Men (Anole, Cipher, Graymalkin, Ink, Rockslide) attacked. The battle was halted when Dust collapsed again and seemingly died.
(Young X-Men#12) - Graymalkin could do nothing but watch as a furious Rockslide savagely launched himself at Pierce while Ink tried to use his healing powers on Dust. When he proved unable to do so, the team surrounded their fallen teammate. Sometime later that day Anole, Graymalkin, Ink and Rockslide met up to discuss the future of the team while Cipher was off helping Moonstar cleanse and wrap Sooraya's body in preparation of her burial. During their meeting Anole was fed up with helping the X-Men commenting they weren't even X-Men-in-training but just cannon fodder. The boy continued and explained this was exactly the reason he didn't want to come back as the only thing they did was die. Just than Cipher entered the room and told them Sooraya's body had been prepared, revealing that because of her religion she needed to be buried within 24 hours. Fed up with the losing of friends Rockslide and Anole decided to disband the team, while the others reluctantly agreed. Ink then rushed off, still feeling guilty about his former alliance to Pierce he went to see Dust's corpse. Ink decided to give it one last go and use Phoenix-like powers to successfully resurrect and heal Dust, but in doing so rendering himself catatonic. Some time later the X-Men moved Ink and Dust to the medical bay for research, claiming Ink still had some brain activity but had been subdued as if he was overcharged. Graymalkin and the others heard about the news and came to see Dust who reminded the team that they were still X-Men. Just as the words had left her lips Moonstar came rushing in, the villainous Neo had returned and were advancing on San Francisco. The team looked at each other and decided to remain X-Men.

Seeing the perfect opportunity to trigger the volatile situation Trask threw oil on the fire by shouting the mutants had cut them off, surrounding them.

(Generation X II#1) - Graymalkin and Shark-Girl were seen talking to Chamber when Jubilee tried to persuade new student Nathaniel Carver to stay at the school. Several moments later a group of Purifiers arrived to attack the school.
(Generation X II#2) - Seeing the Purifiers, Graymalkin, Shark-Girl and Chamber immediately sprung into action to attack the men. Headmistress Kitty Pryde also ordered Trance and Gentle to round up the humans and get them to safety in the library. However, there was no need to do so since Kid Omega rather easily dismantled the men with his telepathic abilities after which he had the men beat their own faces with their fists, somethings which shocked Graymalkin. All those present failed to realize one of the Purifiers managed to reach the school but was defeated by Jubilee's students.
(Generation X II#6) - Part of a new class consisting of Bling!, Kid Omega, Nature Girl, Morph, Hindsight, Eye-Boy, Rockslide and Anole, Graymalkin attended "advanced mutant sexuality" by instructor Doop. The class was interrupted when Morph (Benjamin Deeds) accidentally stuck his pencils in his eye as the student kept on falling asleep due to late night shenanigans with Kid Omega.
(Generation X II#8 - BTS) - When the friendly Krakoa returned to the school's current location in Central Park his resurfance caused several earthquakes and sinkholes throughout the city. Graymalkin was one of the students chosen to help rescue the people trapped inside buildings.
(Generation X II#9) - Part of the response team alongside Mercury, Kid Omega, Shark-Girl and several other students Graymalkin had rescued several people.
(Generation X I#85) - Armor and Graymalkin were chatting on the school's front lawn unaware M (Monet St. Croix) possessed by Emplate was passing by them. She apparently followed one of the students inside the mansion where she became visible and attacked Anole and Transonic, rendering them unconscious. Husk, Chamber and Bling! saw the students on the ground but instead of fighting M they decided to get Bling! to safety first.
(X-Force VI#2) - Anole and dozens of his fellow Krakoans watched the lifeless body of Charles Xavier after he was assassinated by the mysterious anti-mutant cabal XENO. Anole witnessed Magneto forging the wrecked remains of Cerebro into a sword after which Jean Grey and Beast set out to locate Cradle One to resurrect Xavier.
(Marvel's Voices#1) - Graymalkin and many other superhumans who belong to the LGBTQIA+ community answered Wiccan and Hulkling's call to attend a Gay Pride to create more visibility.

Graymalkin received a profile in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z Update#3.
Graymalkin's appearance in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#9 was an odd one, of course the issue was written by Graymalkin's creator; Marc Guggenheim who later used his character again in the pages of Generation X. It's fair to say Graymalkin didn't get the job at S.H.I.E.L.D.

An unidentified boy who was most likely part of the same UK colony as the Graymalkin's. He and Jonas Graymalkin were experimenting together with their newfound sexual identity.
