Carter Ghazikhanian is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in "Uncanny X-Men" #411, created by Chuck Austen and Ron Garney.

Fictional character biography

Carter is the son of Annie Ghazikhanian, the former nurse at the Xavier Institute. Since their move to the school, Carter struck up a friendship with the young aquatic mutant Sammy, alias the Squidboy. When Carter tries to help Alex Summers, the X-Man known as Havok, from his coma, something strange occurs which rendered Carter unconscious. His consciousness became ensnared by the essence of the evil counterpart of Havok from the Mutant X universe, but Carter and the real Alex were rescued by Professor X. After the rescue, the Professor indicates he wants to talk to Annie about Carter's father. The identity of whom has yet to be revealed.

Annie later took him away from the Xavier Institute when she found it a too dangerous place for him. During their actual exiting from the facillities, the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants led by the ex-Acolyte Exodus, attack the Institute. One of the Brotherhood's many victims is Sammy. Carter telepathically detects Sammy's brutal death.

Also, while they leave, the Astral projection of an undetermined person is shown next to Carter's face. Annie seems unaware of this projection. Carter's dialogue and expression at this time hint that he is under the control of this individual. The projection was later revealed by Austen as the intended return of Cassandra Nova, but on his departure from the books, the storyline was dropped.

It is also unknown if Carter lost his powers after M-Day, as he wasn't shown in any 198 files.

X-Men The End

Carter is depicted as a deeply traumatised child, possibly as a result of the deaths of both his mother and Havok, and spends his time in an almost autistic state. His powers have evolved to the point of being able to create solid psionic constructs, as he is seen playing in a castle he created. He is killed, along with most of the student body, when Skrulls invade the mansion.

Powers and abilities

Carter is a mutant who possesses the superhuman ability to move objects with his mind. This talent is known as telekinesis. He also has telepathic abilities. The full extent of Carter's power is undetermined as he is still a minor.
