Slipstream (Davis Cameron) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is depicted as a superhero associated with the X-Men. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Salvador Larroca, he first appeared in X-Treme X-Men #6 (December 2001). He is a mutant, able to generate a "warp wave" for the purpose of teleportation. He and his sister Lifeguard were briefly members of the squad of X-Men featured in the series X-Treme X-Men.
Davis Cameron and his sister Heather lived normal lives at Surfers Paradise in Australia, respectively being a surfer and lifeguard. They did not know that their actual father was the underworld crime lord Viceroy. Upon his death, they were attacked.[1] When Heather's life was endangered, Davis was informed by Sage that although he was never meant to be a mutant (his latent mutant gene was supposed to be passed down to his children), his mutant power might be helpful to her. He agreed to let her activate it, gaining a teleportational ability in the form of the "warp wave".[2] Together with Storm and Thunderbird III, he and his sister defeated their attackers.[3] Following these events, both siblings join Storm's team of X-Men.[4] Davis had a brief romance with Storm.[5]
Later, when infiltrating the ship of the intergalactic warlord, Khan, Heather develops a more avian look, leading to speculation that the two have Shi'ar heritage.[6] Ultimately, Davis is unable to see past his sister's alien appearance and leaves the X-Men.[7]
Slipstream is confirmed to be among the mutants who lost their powers as a result of M-Day.[8]
Slipstream later regains his powers under unspecified circumstances and becomes a citizen of Krakoa.[9]
Slipstream can teleport using trans-spatial energy funnels also referred to as "warp waves". He can can take other people through the warp wave, but requires increased concentration to maintain the wave when traveling with others. He additionally possesses sensitivity to energy that allows him to sense other forms of teleportation.
