Fictional character biography
The future
Trevor Fitzroy was revealed to be the illegitimate son of Anthony Shaw, the future Black King of the Hellfire Club, in a dystopian future. He joined the Academy for Xavier's Security Enforcers (XSE) and had a romantic relationship with Shard. However, Fitzroy's criminal tendencies surfaced, resulting in his expulsion from the Academy. Initially, his influential father attempted to shield him, but when Fitzroy was apprehended for murder, his father could no longer protect him. Bishop, Shard's brother and an XSE officer, captured and arrested Fitzroy.
Initially, Fitzroy believed that he possessed the ability to teleport. However, a clandestine faction of XSE agents called the Xavier's Underground Enforcers (XUE) uncovered his true power: the ability to travel through time. The XUE recruited Shard and orchestrated Fitzroy's release, intending to exploit his temporal abilities to alter the past and create a better future. However, Shard, recognizing Fitzroy's inherent danger, intervened and thwarted their plan, resulting in Fitzroy's return to prison.
The Upstarts
From prison, Fitzroy escaped to the present time with his mutant minion
Fitzroy turned on Selene and captured her, though she later managed to escape. He also brought in
After the Upstarts
How he survived is left unknown, but Fitzroy eventually reappeared under the thrall of Selene as the White Rook of the Hellfire Club. During this time he cooperates with Pierce and Shaw, despite his previous attempts to kill them. He leaves the Club and travels back to an alternate future (Earth-9910), now calling himself the Chronomancer. He takes control over this new timeline, but Bishop arrives and fights Fitzroy, eventually killing him.[1]
X-Factor
A younger version appears that is a participant in the Summers Rebellion. Here, he is shown to be a good guy. After Cortex kills him during a fight, Layla Miller resurrects him physically but is unable to revive him with a soul, establishing the point at which he becomes a villain.[2]
Return of the Upstarts
Under unknown circumstances, Fitzroy reappeared alive on Earth and once again as a member of the mutant group the Upstarts. He helped kill the Nasty Boys in order to lure out
Powers and abilities
Fitzroy possesses the mutant ability to drain the life force of living beings by physical contact. With these energies, Fitzroy can create portals that can teleport those passing through them across time and space, yet, the portals are one way, trying to pass through the wrong way results in the traveler having his body fatally and terribly misshapen. He often was dependent on the mutant Bantam to direct and catalog the time-portals he made and confirm when they should expire, lacking the ability to do so himself.
Fitzroy can also use the converted life force he drains to infuse on the dead that essentially resurrects them, however due to his nature, it is an ability he rarely uses.[5]
In his early appearances, Fitzroy wears a futuristic battle-armor that increases his strength and protects him from opponents. This battle armor was destroyed by the X-Men and a second suit of armor was destroyed by X-Force.
Fitzroy also had several Sentinels that obeyed his commands. These Sentinels were smaller than the 20th-century type, but had the ability to repair themselves using material in their vicinity.
