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 lived normal lives atSurfers Paradise inAustralia, respectively being a surfer and lifeguard.[3] They did not know that their actual father was the underworld crime lord Viceroy. Upon his death, they were attacked.[4] When Heather's life was endangered, Davis was informed bySage that although he was never meant to be a mutant (his latent mutant gene was supposed to be passed down to his children), his mutant power might be helpful to her. He agreed to let her activate it, gaining a teleportational ability in the form of the "warp wave".[5] Together withStorm andThunderbird, he and his sister defeated their attackers. Following these events, both siblings join Storm's team of X-Men.[6][7] Davis had 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 haveShi'ar heritage.[10][2] Ultimately, Davis is unable to see past his sister's alien appearance and leaves the X-Men.[11][7][12][13][14][15][16]
Slipstream is confirmed to be 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 using trans-spatial energy funnels also referred to as "warp waves".[16][19] He can can take other people through the warp wave, but requires increased concentration to maintain the wave when traveling with others.[20] Additionally, Slipstream uses his surfboard to traverse his portals and increase the accuracy of his teleportation.[1][14][21][22]
An alternate timeline variant of Slipstream from Earth-41001 appears inX-Men: The End.[23][24][2]
