History
Ink is one of the founding members of the current team of the Young X-Men. He is a loud-mouthed and rude teenager with a criminal past(he could possibly be in the "crips" or have some affiliation with the gang, as he calls almost everyone "Cuz" or "Cuzin"). He is introduced when two police officers attempt to arrest him in a tattoo parlor. He fights back using his newly- acquired ability to make others violently ill with a touch, but is arrested anyway.
While Ink waits in jail, a prison guard releases him, in the process revealing himself to be Cyclops. In short order, Eric is recruited into Cyclops' junior X-Men team. The teens are assembled in the Danger Cave, built by the former New X-Man, David Alleyne, where they train for their first mission: assassinating the original New Mutants.
Cyclops sends Ink and Blindfold to attack Dani Moonstar in her Colorado home, and after Blindfold knocks Moonstar unconscious, Ink knocks out Blindfold. He delivers her to Donald Pierce, who refers to him as a mercenary. He also declares "whatever I am, I'm no killer".
He appears to suffer a crisis of conscience, however, and after Pierce's scheme comes to light, he leads the Young X-Men and New Mutants to Pierce's hideout. They subdue Pierce, but not before Wolf Cub is killed, leaving Ink to deal with his own feelings of guilt over his involvement.
Later, it is revealed that Ink is actually a normal human being, and that his tattoo artist is a mutant. Presumably, the tattoos he draws gave Ink his powers because Ink explained the functions of each tattoo prior to getting them. Emma Frost ran a scan on him at Dani Moonstar's request, and Pierce knew before he recruited him
