Slipstream (Davis Cameron) is a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. The character is depicted as asuperhero associated with theX-Men. Created by writerChris Claremont and artistSalvador Larroca, he first appeared inX-Treme X-Men #6 (December 2001).[1][2]
He is amutant, able to generate a "warp wave" for the purpose ofteleportation. He and his sisterLifeguard were briefly members of the squad ofX-Men featured in the seriesX-Treme X-Men.
Davis Cameron and his sisterHeather are fromSurfers Paradise inAustralia, where they respectively work as a surfer and lifeguard.[3] They do not know that their father is the underworld crime lord Viceroy. Upon their father's death, the two are attacked.[4] Davis is informed bySage that although he was never meant to be a mutant and that his latent mutant gene was supposed to be passed down to his children, his mutant power may be helpful to her. He agrees to let Sage activate his powers, gaining a teleportational ability in the form of the "warp wave".[5] Together withStorm andThunderbird, Davis and Heather fend off their attackers. Following these events, both siblings join Storm's team of X-Men.[6][7] Davis has a brief romance with Storm.[8][3][9]
Later, when infiltrating the ship of the intergalactic warlord Khan, Heather develops a more avian look, leading to speculation that the two are related to theShi'ar (an alien species with avian traits).[10][2] Davis is unable to see past his sister's new appearance and leaves the X-Men.[11][7][12][13][14][15][16]
Slipstream is among the mutants who lost their powers as a result ofM-Day.[17][1][3][7][15] He later regains his powers under unspecified circumstances and becomes a citizen ofKrakoa.[18]
Slipstream can teleport via a funnel of trans-spatial energy also called a "warp wave".[16][19] He can take other people through the warp wave, but requires increased concentration to maintain the wave when doing so.[20] Slipstream is sensitive to the energy generated by other sources of teleportation, allowing him to track their source. Additionally, Slipstream uses his surfboard to traverse his portals and increase the accuracy of his teleportation.[1][14][21][22]
