Indra was a member of Alpha Squadron up until they disbanded following M-Day. He remains as a student at the Xavier Institute. Edit
Origin
Paras is a mutant from India. After enrolling at the Xavier Institute, Paras was assigned to Alpha Squadron, a training squad advise by Northstar. As a member of a training squad, Paras took the codename of Indra, after the hindu god of War. Indra and his fellow team members suffered a great loss when they were told that Northstar had been killed by Wolverine. Following the assumed death of Northstar, Karma became their new advisor.
Tragedy struck once again the vast majority of the world's mutant population, including a large percentage of the Xavier Institute's student body, was depowered. Indra was confirmed to be one of a handful of mutants who retained their mutant powers.
When the Xavier Institute was sent to Limbo, Indra was one of the students captured by Belasco. When X-23 orchestrated an attempt at escaping, Indra was beaten badly by the demon called S'ym when the attack failed.
After returning home, Indra discovered that he was one of youngest mutants on the planet and the most likely to be targeted. When Predator X atacked the School, Indra along with Trance and Wolf Cub stood by the window watching. Predator X then dived through the window to attack them. The three scattered and Indra fell in front of Predator X. As the murderous monster edged closer to eat him, Predator X was suddenly thrown back by a blast of electricity. Surge had stepped between the creature and Indra. Surge then told Indra to get out of there and join the others in the infirmary with Beast. Indra asksed what she was going to do and Nori replied, “Not let you die."
After Predator X had been defeated by Wolverine, Cyclops decided to close down the Institute. Indra, along with the rest of the students, was sent back home.
