History:
(NYX I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Sam Palmer was married to schoolteacher Cameron Hayes, who suffered a traumatic event at school when a student (Kiden Nixon) manifested time-manipulation powers. Sam was worried about Cameron.
(NYX I#2) - Sam brought breakfast in bed to Cameron and sang her a Garth Brooks song. Cameron continued talking about the bizarre events at school the day before. He playfully pulled her out of bed and fooled around with her on the floor.
(NYX I#2 - BTS) - Cameron was shot at work when the same mutant's powers acted up. Within the next six months Sam left her.
Comments: Created by Joe Quesada and Joshua Middleton.
In NYX#5, Kiden referred to Cameron Palmer as "Ms.
Hayes." Since it was never explained, my opinion on the matter is that
"Palmer" was Cameron's maiden name. While it was never actually said
that she was married, the picture that Sherman Weismann accidentally broke was
a picture of Cameron in a wedding dress. I think this means that she married
her boyfriend Sam sometime in the six-month period following her shooting and
that Sam's last name must have been "Hayes," which would make her
name "Cameron Palmer Hayes."
In NYX#7, Cameron tells Kiden that her husband's name was
"Frank" and that he had run out on her, but in NYX#2, Principal
Weismann refers to him as "Sam," which is what Cameron refers to him
as at the beginning of NYX#2 as well. I'm going to go with the idea that his
whole name is "Samuel Frank Hayes."
I disagree! While Proto-Man believes Cameron's husband was
named Hayes because Kiden called her Ms. Hayes in NYX#5, I personally
believe that Hayes was Cameron's maiden name and that she got married during her time teaching at Kiden's school. Kiden probably originally knew her as Ms. Hayes before she got married and became Cameron Palmer. Cameron's neighbor even called her Mrs. Palmer, which indicates that she was married (maybe her neighbor missed Sam leaving Camron).
