Callisto is a mutant in the X-Men series. A mutant with superhumanly acute senses, Callisto is a superb hunter and tracker. Callisto banded together unwanted mutants society didn't accept and lived underneath the sewers of Manhattan called the Morlocks. She then found Caliban, a mutant with psionic abilities to locate other mutants, using that power Callisto gathered together many other mutants. Although deposed as the Morlock leader by Storm, Callisto has often been her ally. Since she was taken to another dimension by Mikhail Rasputin, Callisto has shown a maternal devotion toward the young Gene Nation member known as Marrow.

History

Before her mutation Callisto was a beautiful young girl from Missouri until catastrophe struck her and she became blind in her right eye. Callisto realized the human society had no more use for a beautiful woman who was no longer beautiful.

She went underground and decided to start to form the Morlocks after she met Caliban, Masque & Sunder. They helped her track down the outcast mutants that people hated and feared because of their appearances and give them a home, a safe haven.

Callisto was one of the Morlocks to survive the mutant massacre when the Marauders attacked the Morlocks. A few of the Morlocks left the underground society for a while after the attack. Leech, Caliban, Skids and Artie joined the X-Terminators, a teen team of the X-Factor who saved them. Marrow was rescued by Gambit. Callisto remained underground protecting the surviving members who did not leave. Years later the Morlocks who left return to Callisto's underground society.

When Scarlet Witch depowered most of the mutants on m-day Callisto lost her super scenes and the tentacle arms that Masque gave her. After the m-day event Callisto regained her super scenes through the power of the Terrigen mist.

Although Callisto has been depowered again she has made Charles Xavier's dream of humans and mutants living together come true. However this has only been done in her reformed Morlock society called the New Morlocks. The humans and mutants have moved in together because of the fear of the M-Poxs. The humans who live in the underground tunnels with the New Morlocks are outcast to society just like the Morlocks.
