Barbican is a member of the race of supermutants known as Neo. Belonging to the so-called Warclan, he was a member of the squad of Neo who tracked and fought Cecilia Reyes and the X-Men in the opening salvo of the Neo`s war against humans and mutants, sparked when the High Evolutionary removed all mutants` powers, causing untold devastation to the hidden Neo community.

Barbican possesses the ability to remove all openings or gaps from a structure, effectively sealing off any exits.

I believe this may be the wrong picture for Barbican; while it's never made perfectly clear which face goes with which name in this case, Barbican's powers (sealing things off) suggest that he may be the guy with the seclusive gas mask thing seen on the final page of X-MEN #101.

Yeah, the hell with logic-- It's a Claremont character, after all! ;)

Ahhhh....Claremont characters. If the Mastermind bio page is any indication, we'll still be wondering which Neo is which twenty years down the line. ;) :rolleyes:
