Chamber (character)

Chamber (Jonothon Evan Starsmore; alternatively spelled Jonothan) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually associated with the X-Men and Generation X. First appearing in Generation X #1 (November 1994), the character was created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Chris Bachalo. A British mutant, Jono's body holds a powerful store of psionic energy, which he can project outwards as a concussive blast of flames. On the emergence of his power, much of his chest and lower face were destroyed, leaving him communicating telepathically. Initially joining the team of young mutants, Generation X, Chamber graduated to the X-Men team. Chamber lost his powers on M-Day, which left him near death until Clan Akkaba restored his body and transformed him into a form resembling Apocalypse. Following his transformation, Chamber joined the New Warriors, utilizing technology that gave him sonic-based abilities. Chamber regained his powers and original appearance after the events of Age of X. He later joined the mutant nation of Krakoa and the New Mutants briefly.
