Profile On...ABSALOM

[Monolith]

Absalom was a Wild West outlaw who discovered he was a mutant, died, and came back as an External all in one night. His life was never the same again, but neither did it get better. Among the High Lords, Absalom saw the opportunity to ascend from his meager criminal past and achieve new greatness...but failed to ever do so. Unable to change and unable to remain as he was, Absalom came to represent Despair in the eternal puzzle of the Externals. His legendary unrealized potential has made Absalom both suicidal and terrified of death at different intervals, as his sense of unfulfillment weighs heavily on his eternal life.

Abyss has finally been overtaken as the very first profile/spotlight to appear on the spotlight section. Perhaps the true reason Apocalypse changed his name to just "A" is so that when we eventually update him he gets to be the first.

We know the ascension they all felt wasn't Cannonball or Sunspot, but was it ever discovered who it was? They felt something.
