D'Gard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

D'Gard is a fictional mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in Uncanny X-Men '97 Annual.

A mutant with empathic powers which helped keep him in tune with his people's needs, D'Gard was the leader of the Gene Nation a group of Morlocks whom Storm encountered and relocated to Africa.

D'Gard took over the position of leadership in Storm's absence, and strived to ensure the community lived under the guidelines Storm set for them after freeing them from Mikhail Rasputin's tyranny.

When D'Gard was captured by a government agency that was in competition with the recently reformed Weapon X project, the project's Director dispatched Marrow to assassinate him. Despite being a former friend, and having once saved Marrow's life, Marrow accomplished her objective by stabbing D'Gard through the heart with one of her bone knives.
