Biography
Origin
Kuan-Yin Xorn was a Chinese Mutant with him being the twin brother of Shen Xorn. (X-Men v2 #162) It was said that his powers first manifested two days after puberty when his brain was incinerated by a microscopic sun. (New X-Men Annual v1 #2001)
According to one account, he came to be captured by the Chinese government whose anti-Mutant views resulted in his detainment. They ultimately decide to build an iron prison around him to contain Xorn named Feng Tu where he remained trapped there for over half a century. It was said that the only reason he was kept alive was in case he had to be used as a doomsday soldier in case of a potential war. Xorn once managed to escape his cell in 1969 where it took the Chinese authorities 2 weeks to subdue him. They then rebuilt the Feng Tu prison around him once again at the site he fell where it made from fragments of the original. (New X-Men Annual v1 #2001)
House of X
After the establishment of Krakoa, the living island was declared a sovereign nation and a homeland for all Mutants that were invited to reside on its surface. The Xorn brothers came to be reunited after being reborn when Mutants began to make use of the Resurrection Protocols whereupon they became citizens of the new country. (House of X v1 #1)
