Fictional character biography
He and his sister
Later, when infiltrating the ship of the intergalactic warlord,
Slipstream is confirmed to be among the mutants who lost their powers as a result of M-Day.[8]
Following the creation of the Mutant Nation of Krakoa, Slipstream was somehow repowered and became a loyal citizen of Krakoa and is seen helping fight off the Russian Armed Forces that attacked the island.[9]
Powers and abilities
Slipstream can teleport via a funnel of trans-spatial energy also called a "warp wave", to any place on earth. Warp waves use superstrings to connect any two locations on Earth. He can can take other people through the warp wave, but requires increased concentration to maintain the wave when traveling with others. Sensitivity to displacement energy signatures enables him to track other teleportations, and use his warp wave to follow. He usually navigates with the use of a shortened metal surfboard.
Other versions

In X-Men: The End, a title presenting one possible future of the X-Men, Slipstream works freely for the slavers. It is eventually revealed that he is seemingly controlled by Cassandra Nova. His powers have also further developed to the point that he can now transverse the warp-wave across inter-galactic distances.[10]
