Hector Friemark Mutant Type: Molecular (Explosions)
First Appearance: "The Taking of Crows"
Details: Hector was a research subject in Dr. Sara Stanton's Genomex lab, where she was developing the drug DXL to control new mutants. Sara herself became addicted to the drug, and she and Hector began a romantic affair which evolved into a business partnership. After she was arrested for drug trafficking, Hector promised to get her out of jail, but instead hired the inmate Martinez to "protect" and keep Sara in prison so that he could horde the profits for himself. Tired of waiting for Hector's aid, Sara escaped with Lexa Pierce and confronted Hector at gunpoint. As Hector attempted to grab the gun, Sara threw a DXL block in his face, causing him to lose control of his mutant abilities. The sparks he emitted ignited the warehouse explosion which killed them both.
