Origin
Stryfe was the clone of Nathan Christopher Summers, the son of Cyclops, of the X-Men, and Madelyne Pryor-Summers, the Goblin Queen.

In future 21st Century, the aged, mysterious mutant, Mother Askani led the Askani Cult which opposed the long-lived mutant tyrant Apocalypse. Mother Askani met Nathaniel Summers, who joined her cult and quickly became a formidable warrior. However, the Techno-Organic Virus in his body was rapidly spreading and, if not stopped, would kill him.

Creation
Fearing that Nathan would not survive the virus, Mother Askani had him cloned. The clone's growth was greatly accelerated until he was the same age as Nathan himself. The Askani were also able to reduce the infection of the virus in the clone. Despite their original assessments, the Askani learned that the original Cable would live after all. Just then, the Canaanites attacked the base and Mother Askani ordered Boak to remove the children. Boak was only able to remove one of the children when the Canaanites blasted their way into the room and seemingly killed the Mother Askani. Soon after, Apocalypse himself entered the room and claimed the remaining man, whom he believed to be the original Nathan Summers that Mr. Sinister raised, but was, in fact, the clone. Apocalypse decided to raise the clone himself, training him intensely. Apocalypse later revealed that he was actually making the clone powerful so that he could one day claim the man's body for his own. At this point in Apocalypse's millennia-long existence, he had to transfer his consciousness and life forces from one body to another, to maintain his life. When his current body grew too old and feeble, Apocalypse intended to take over the powerful body of the clone.

Stryfe
Apocalypse named the clone Stryfe and encouraged the boy's arrogance and cruelty as he grew into adolescence. Stryfe was watched over by Apocalypse's aide, Ch'vayre, who regarded the boy's malevolence with mixed feelings.

Years later, during the ritual of transferring Apocalypse's mind into Stryfe, Ch'vayre openly opposed and was restrained, while Stryfe was painfully, telekinetically held in stasis. Apocalypse then realized that Stryfe was a clone and not the original. Deciding to go-through with it, until he could find another body, Stryfe began to mentally fight against Apocalypse's intrusion and escaped.

X-Cutioner's Song
Wishing to repay everyone who ever wronged him, starting by Mr. Sinister, Stryfe went back to current 21st Century.

As a means of spreading further destruction, Stryfe told Sinister he would give him the Summers' genetic matix, but instead he gave him the Legacy Virus, a disease genetically engineered to be lethal to mutants and was far beyond even the best of scientists, biophysicists, and geneticists of the current time. The Legacy Virus infected a large number of mutants and killed many of them.


 * Powers                 = Stryfe is "the  Omega Level clone" of the mutant Cable (in his clonal source's own words), and described himself as an Omega Level Mutant. As a result of that clonal relation, he possess all of Cable's natural mutant abilities, including being an Omega Level Telekinetic. Stryfe also possessed other abilities through genetic manipulation, similar to those that Cable achieved through cybernetic augmentation. His telepathy was stated to be far beyond Psylocke's, stated to be the third most powerful on Earth.

Psionics: Just like Cable, Stryfe's primary mutant powers included vast telepathic and telekinetic capabilities. Stryfe's psionic powers were vastly superior to those of Cable's due to the fact that the vast majority of Cable's psionic powers were, unconsciously, being devoted to keep the Techno-Organic Virus, that had ravaged the left half of his body, from doing the same to the right side.

Telepathy: Ability to read minds and project the thoughts of others.
 * Telepathic Illusion: Ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.
 * Telepathic Cloak: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. Can extend these defenses to others around him as well. Stryfe's abilities can, at times, go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths, depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities.
 * Mind Link: Ability to develop a mental link with any person, which remains as a connection to that individual.
 * Telepathic Camouflage: Ability to mask himself and other peoples' presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around his quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more involved disguising).
 * Mind Control: Ability to control the minds and even voluntary and involuntary bodily functions of sentient beings (such as other Humans).
 * Mind Trap: Ability to take another person's mind from their body and effectively trapping that mind within his own.
 * Mind Possession: Ability to possess the mind of another, and use that beings body as his own.
 * Mind Alteration: Ability to alter the minds of others by force of will.
 * Mental Amnesia: Ability to cause loss of particular memories and amnesia in another person or even in a group of people.
 * Psionic Shield: Ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of himself and of others minds. Stryfe has proven very difficult to psychically assail, as he is very well skilled in shielding his own mind from mental-attacks (such as attempts to read, control or harm his own mind), and has been sufficient to protect himself from other psychics.
 * Psionic Blasts: Can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind, so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and can even kill an adversary.
 * Astral Projection: Ability to astral travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. In the Astral Plane, he can use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. Stryfe has a mastery of astral projection, and is able to remain on his own plane of existence or to traverse into any of the so-called "Astral Planes".
 * Mental Detection: Can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of himself, by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
 * Mind Transferal: Able to transfer both his mind and powers into other host bodies should his own physical body be somehow killed.

Telekinesis: Capable of very fine control over objects, including himself. On larger levels, Stryfe can levitate great weights, into the hundreds of tons, but his upper limit has remained undisclosed.


 * Intuitive Aptitude: Can disassemble complex devices explosively (separating every last component, such as screws, nuts, circuit boards, etc.) and, just as quickly, easily assemble complex devices. This also has enabled him to even attain awareness and control over objects as small as individual electrons in an atom. For instance, Stryfe could detect if a seal was hermetic, or not, by checking for the presence of penetrating oxygen molecules. Can even detect and discern individual oxygen molecules, and determine the atomic weight of molecules, by the amount of atoms present.
 * Forcefields: Ability to create protective force shields that could deflect even the most powerful of attacks (even filter bacteria from the air). The upper limits of this ability remain unknown, but it is believed that he could probably protect himself from harm at the ground zero detonation of a 1 kiloton nuclear warhead (4.18 terajoules of energy from the heat, concussion and radiation effects). Stryfe has also displayed such control over the fields as to shape them precisely, even to conform very closely to his body’s form. There does not appear to be any correlation between field strength and the thickness of the telekinetic fields.
 * Concussive Blasts: Can project his telekinetic energies as powerful blast beams directed from his brain that could apparently affect matter with concussive force.
 * Telekinetic Flight: By levitating himself, he can “fly” at for very long distances and at varying speeds.

Genetic Augmentation: Due to Apocalypse's methods, many of Stryfe's physical attributes were enhanced to superhuman levels.


 * Superhuman Strength: Through genetic augmentation at Apocalypse's hands, Stryfe gained superhuman strength that was sufficient to lift about 10 tons. However, Stryfe could temporarily augment his strength to higher, unknown levels with the use of his telekinetic powers.


 * Superhuman Speed: Stryfe was able to run and move at speeds that were superior to those of the finest human athlete.


 * Superhuman Stamina: Stryfe's enhanced musculature produced less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. Could physically exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood began to impair him.


 * Superhuman Durability: Stryfe's body was also rendered more resistant to certain types of injury than the body of a normal human. For instance, Stryfe's bodily tissues could withstand great impact forces, such as being struck by a being with superhuman strength, that would either severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no injury to show for it. However, Stryfe could use his psionic powers to generate a telekinetic force field around his body that further protected him from all forms of energy. The field could repel high caliber bullets and powerful energy blasts without Stryfe being injured.


 * Superhuman Agility: Stryfe's agility, balance, and bodily coordination were enhanced to levels that were beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.


 * Superhuman Reflexes: Stryfe's reflexes were also similarly enhanced and were superior to those of the finest human athlete.


 * Abilities              = Stryfe possessed a genius level intellect with access to scientific technologies and techniques far beyond that of contemporary science. Stryfe was especially knowledgeable of biology and genetics, all of which helped him to create the Legacy Virus. Stryfe was also a formidable combatant, though his experience and skill in combat situations paled in comparison with Cable's.
