History

Random

When his mutant nature manifested, Marshall Evan Stone III sought aid in controlling his body's now-protoplasmic state. Help came in the form of the Dark Beast, who gave Stone control in exchange for his services as a superhuman operative for X-Factor. Though still only a young boy, Stone used his powers to make himself appear larger and older, becoming the bounty hunter Random.

He developed a crush on Polaris (Lorna Dane) and confided in her his real name.

Stone often worked with the government-sponsored team until the Dark Beast had him betray them by capturing their leader, Havok. Stone later aided Havok against the Dark Beast, freeing himself from servitude.

He briefly joined Magneto's mutant army in Genosha before being captured by the Weapon X program and incarcerated in the "Neverland" concentration camp.

He and Diamond Lil put up resistance when guards began separating mutants. Some were to be killed while the others were to be turned into agents. They were severely beaten by the Boxbot guards while their powers were negated by a dampening field. He was selected to become a field agent but was ultimately freed after a change in Weapon X's leadership.

Random has most recently joined Exodus's reformed Marauders.
