Origin

History

Very little is known about Frenzy's past, other than she was a freelance mercenary who had once clashed with Gambit, though she had developed a romantic relationship with him for a brief period of time. She later joined the Alliance of Evil, under the command of Apocalypse. Along with her teammates Tower, Stinger, and Timeshadow, Frenzy fought X-Factor several times: first, while trying to recruit Rusty Collins into her group; second, after growing attached to Michael Nowlan's mutant-enhancing powers; and third, while in opposition to the Mutant Registration Act. All three times, Frenzy and the Alliance of Evil were defeated by the group, and were later abandoned by Apocalypse. She left the Alliance of Evil and, for a short time, joined the Femizons and battled Captain America.

Cargill in her Acolyte uniform

Frenzy later found acceptance with Magneto and joined his Acolytes, dropping her codename and simply going by her last name, Cargill. During her first mission, Cargill killed Sharon Friedlander. She and her teammates Unuscione and the Kleinstock Brothers then sought out a mutant child at his school. However, they soon discovered the child suffered from Down's Syndrome, and attempted to kill him. The X-Men intervened, saving the boy and running the Acolytes off. On other occasions, Cargill attempted to murder Senator Robert Kelly, and also battled Iceman. When Magneto returned, he had the Acolytes join him on Avalon.

Cargill as an X-Man

When Avalon was destroyed due to a battle between fellow Acolyte Exodus and the demonic Holocaust, Cargill banded together with Cyclops, the Kleinstock Brothers, Unuscione, and Scanner. They were all able to survive the fall to Earth, and later found the X-Men's abandoned Australian Outback base. The surviving Acolytes were then placed in custody, though they quickly escaped and found the remains of Avalon, waiting for Magneto's return. When Exodus took over leadership, Cargill and the Acolytes attacked Wundagore Mountain, though they were eventually defeated by the Avengers.

Upon his return, Magneto chose Cargill to become the ambassador of Genosha. During the Avengers' attack on the island, Frenzy encountered and defeated She-Hulk, and later confronted Quicksilver over his disloyalty to his father, though she was eventually defeated by Scarlet Witch. Later, Cargill ordered all countries of the world to pledge loyalty to Magneto. She was captured by the government, ordering her to inform them of Magneto's plans, but she refused to speak. Jean Grey broke Cargill out of her confinements and proceeded to mind-control her into joining her rookie group of X-Men. Along with Northstar, Cargill piloted the Blackbird into Genosha, her knowledge of Magneto's base being of great benefit to Jean Grey. During the battle with Magneto, Cargill was used against her will to pummel Magneto, who commented that Cargill was his most trusted Acolyte and that he knew it was mind-control. He then wrapped a steel pillar around her, rendering her useless in the battle. After Magneto's defeat, Cargill somehow regained her senses.

Frenzy VS x23

After the events of Decimation, Cargill resurfaced as a member of the new Acolytes, returning to her codename Frenzy along with her costume. She, along with Tempo, battled and defeated Rogue, though Tempo was quickly defeated by Mystique. Northstar and Aurora aided Mystique in knocking Frenzy out of the helicarrier. She then joined Mr. Sinister in order to restore the mutant population. Alongside the Acolytes, Frenzy invaded the X-Mansion in order to find the Destiny Diaries. They ambushed the children of the school, and in the ensuing battle, Frenzy beat Hellion but her skin was inevitably cut by X-23. The Acolytes, having not found the actual diaries, left the mansion and later battled the X-Men once again during Messiah CompleX, this time alongside the Marauders.

Frenzy and the Acolytes escaped Muir Island after the battle with the X-Men by using Tempo's abilities, and kidnapped Professor X, taking his body to an unknown part of the world. Frenzy opposed the idea of keeping Professor X alive, as he never supported Magneto. While Exodus made it clear he wanted Professor X alive, Frenzy confronted the professor, Omega Sentinel, and Magneto, who had been depowered after Decimation, and attempted to kill Xavier. After tossing Magneto aside and severely injuring Omega Sentinel, Frenzy was blinded by Magneto with a surgical laser, which burned part of her brain. Although Magneto revealed she most likely survived, Exodus witnessed the actions and swore to kill him for harming a mutant.

Powers

Frenzy's mutant abilities grant her invulnerability, as she has steel-hard skin which is impenetrable by anything other than Adamantium. She is resitant to any forms of temperature change, being able to withstand being frozen or engulfed in flames. A by-product of her mutant powers is superhuman strength, powerful enough to battle the likes of She-Hulk or Rogue (with Ms. Marvel's abilities).

Alternate Realities

Earth-2149

In the Marvel Zombies reality Cargill was one of the few people on Earth not turned into a zombie. In this world she didn't appear to have super strenght and had a limited form of molecular control which allowed her to transform her hands into metallic talons. This ability was similar to the abilities of the members of Clan Akkaba (descendents of Apocalypse).

In this reality she survived to old age. On panel she was shown to have one daughter and two grand children. Its unknown if she had any more children or grandchildren. Her mate was an unamed Acolyte.

Earth-5700

In Weapon X: Days of Future Now, Cargill appears as a member of Gene Nation.
