HAPPY NEW YEAR! Often a mask for someone else, the "Eric the Red" identity has been used by Cyclops and Magneto in the past when obscurity was necessary. The man who truly owns the name is Davan Shakari, a Shi'ar spy planted on Earth to monitor the emerging population before Shi'ar first contact. He had a role in the original Phoenix Saga as mad Emperor D'Ken's loyalist, and turned up occasionally over the years as a renegade seeking to undermine his more benevolent successor, Empress Lilandra. He also played a part in the infamous "Third Summers Brother" plotline. The Age of Krakoa revealed Shakari had a deeper history and allegiance to the Kin Crimson, militant propagandists for the Shi'ar Empire whose work dates back to Threshold, the first mutant civilization on Earth from two billion years ago. Shakari survives, and his machinations will inevitably threaten mutantkind again.
