Origin

Tension was a mutant that was infected by the Brood when they attempted to invade Earth. A paramedic named Harry Palmer was implanted with a Queen egg and started infecting mutants to create a Brood force with abilities to rival the X-Men. Numerous mutants were infected including Tension, Brickbat, Blindside, Temptress, Dive-Bomber, Lockup, Spitball and Whiphand. Tension would snare Storm with his tentacles while Temptress tries to overload her system with her pheromones. Storm escapes when she sweeps herself away by manifesting a powerful wind gust. Tension and some of his infected Brood teammates would later engage the X-Men at a concert area. Tension gets hit by a plasma blast from Havok and is killed when a wall crushes him during the fight. The rest of his infected teammates are slain by the X-Men because the host are beyond saving.
