''X-Man'' was a [[Marvel Comics]] [[Comic Book]] series starring Nate Grey, a [[Psychic Powers|psychic]] of [[Cosmic Entity|near-cosmic level]] who was an [[Alternate Universe]] version of [[
The character first appeared in ''X-Man'' #1 (March, 1995), created by Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce. ''X-Man'' was originally planned as a four-issue miniseries that was part of the [[Age of Apocalypse]] crossover. It was later promoted to an ongoing series. Initially written by Jeph Loeb, it changed several writers before Terry Kavanagh came aboard; he wrote the book for most of its run. The series lasted for 75 issues (March, 1995- May, 2001).
Nate was created by his universe's version of Mister Sinister using DNA taken from Cyclops and Jean Grey (in the main universe Sinister had to manipulate Cyclops into marrying a clone of Jean Grey to achieve the same result) his final goal being the same: to create a being powerful enough to destroy his nemesis, Apocalypse. Nate was one of four beings that were accidentally transported from the [[Age of Apocalypse]] reality to the main [[Marvel Universe]] after it was destroyed due to a combination of [[Time Travel|changes to history]] and the explosion of a [[Cosmic Keystone]]. (The other survivors being Sugarman, Holocaust and Dark Beast- all villains.)

* {{spoiler|[[De
* [[Dimensional Traveler]]: At the height of his powers he can achieve this.
* [[Divided We Fall]]: The first encounter with Professor Xavier (who had been long dead in his universe) going bad led Nate to keep his distance from the X-Men for a long time.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Nate dispersed his essence to every living being on Earth to prevent [[Planet Looters|an alien parasite from consuming them]] killing them both.
* [[Kid From the Future|Kid From The Alternate Universe]]: Nate for Cyclops and Jean Grey.
* [[Laser Guided Tykebomb]]: Nate was created by the Sinister of the Age of Apocalypse timeline, for the express purpose of killing Apocalypse, who Sinister currently served as a Horseman.

* [[Planar Champion]]: As part of the 'Mutant Shaman' retool.
* [[Power Degeneration]]: Nate's power put a huge strain on his body and would kill him before he turned 21. This was eventually revealed to be a fail-safe put into place by [[Ao A]]!Sinister, because he didn't want Nate to be around to destroy *him* after he took out Apocalypse.
