Okkara was a sentient island located in the South Pacific that was the home of the second generation ofmutants, until it was split into two separate islands,Krakoa andArakko.[14]
Two billion years ago, the first generation of mutants belonged to a thriving society known as Threshold, a civilization in which mutants and humans - known as the Enriched and Enshrined, respectively - lived in harmony. Among them wasGrove, a mutant who could heal herself through vegetative growth. When the Unbreathing, an anaerobic form of life to whom oxygen was deadly, attacked Threshold, this invasion drove the people of Threshold to develop biological weapons in the form of the sentient bacteria Arkea and Sublime that turned Enriched and Enshrined against one another when they took on minds of their own.[15] Grove was severely injured in battle but was healed by her powers, which changed her humanoid form with small sprouts into a bark-covered tree-like being. She renamed herselfOkkara and survived long after Threshold fell, eventually growing into a free-floating island.[16]
When theCelestials arrived on Earth one million years ago to create theEternals andDeviants, they also created a subdimensional lattice through the structure of the planet (known as the "Machine that is Earth" or the "Great Machine"), using Okkara as a template.[17]
Okkara eventually became the home for the second generation of mutants, led byApocalypse andGenesis.Annihilation split the island into Krakoa and Arakko with the Twilight Sword, opening a rift to the dimension of Amenth, and Okkara ceased to exist.[14]

After being discharged from theUnited States Marines, Paulie Provenzano returned home toBrooklyn and attempted to join theMafia. Discovering he was a mutant, the Mafia rejected him and attempted to kill him, though Paulie easily subdued his attackers. Soon after,Jean Grey recruited Paulie for a mission toGenosha to rescue the rest of theX-Men fromMagneto.
Paulie joined Jean's interim X-Men team, often making jokes and flirting with his female teammates. He objected to working withNorthstar due to the latter's open homosexuality. During the trip to Genosha, Paulie, and teammateHector Rendoza received a telepathic 'crash course' on their mutant powers, allowing them better control and understanding.[20] The team arrived in Genosha and battled Magneto. An overconfident Paulie was hurled into the atmosphere, but Northstar managed to rescue him before he suffocated and resuscitated him. Though uneasy about having received "mouth-to-mouth" from Northstar, Paulie thanked his teammate. After the battle, he declined an offer to remain with the team and left theX-Mansion.[21] Paulie was later codenamedOmertà in the X-Men's database.[22]
Omertà was later captured by theWeapon X program and interned at the Neverland concentration camp. His powers were deemed useless for exploitation by the program and he was executed alongsideMaggott.[23]
Following the establishment ofKrakoa as a mutant nation, Omertà was resurrected. He entered into a relationship withStinger and had a child with her.[24]
Omertà is virtually invulnerable. His invulnerability protected him from Magneto's attempt to manipulate the iron in his blood, though he could still be lifted into the air.[21] However, with enough force, he can be hurt and made to bleed, as seen when Northstar punched him while travelling at super-speed. Omertà is also superhumanly strong, able to lift roughly one ton with ease.[22]
