Magician

Elliot Boggs' powers first emerged uncontrollably, apparently killing both of his parents. After being subdued by S.H.I.E.L.D, Nick Fury gives custody of him over to Charles Xavier in hopes he can help Elliot control his powers. When Elliot awakes, he quickly urges Cyclops to let him join the X-Men. Shorthanded, Cyclops allows Elliot to help the X-Men take on the Brotherhood of Mutants who were attacking the Academy of Tomorrow. During the battle, Elliot managed to easily defeat the Blob, after which he adopts the code name Magician, which got suggested to him by television reporters. Several of the X-Men observed that the reporters got there amazingly fast, and after Elliot's interview the X-Men are on good terms with the press for the first time since Magneto returned after his presumed death.

Later during an attack by the Friends of Humanity on a hospital that gave treatments to mutants (Despite there being no mutant patients at the time, and in broad day light), Elliot was once again fighting alongside the X-Men. It turned out the leader of the group was actually a mutant, and after incapacitating the rest of the X-Men leaving only Elliot standing, the young mutant single handedly defeated him.

Before the X-Men returned to the mansion, Nick Fury paid Xavier a visit, requesting that Elliot join the Ultimates. However, Xavier refuses, and Fury says Elliot's parents have agreed to their son joining the Ultimates. Xavier is shocked to hear about the boy's parents, as when Fury handed Elliot into Xavier's custody, he told him that Elliot had actually killed his parents. When Fury claims he doesn’t recall saying or doing this, and that he only heard of Elliot when he started appearing with the X-Men, Charles begins to believe that something is very wrong.

Charles and Nick believe that Elliot as been messing with their minds creating the Illiusion of Nick bringing him to Charles - As Fury said, even if he had been made to forget taking Elliot to the mansion there would still be a record of it on file at S.H.I.E.L.D. They went down to await the arival of Elliot to confront him. When the Jet lands Charles asks Elliot to "come clean" and Charles confronts him with the truth that his parents are not dead, and that Fury never took him to the mansion. Everyone begins attacking him. Elliot tries to make them all stop and forget why they are attacking him but Charles blocks him from their minds. After he nearly takes the team out, Charles tries to overpower him with "mind blasts" when Elliot says he's through playing games and that he could have made the X-Men popular, but now he has to kill them all. Then, Jean comes out of her room and says, "I don't think so!"
