Biography
Born in South Africa, Moses followed in his father's footsteps as an arms dealer, but reached a level of success his father never did. After nearly a dozen years of establishing himself throughout Africa, he turned his attention to Wakanda, intrigued by the potential military applications of vibranium. He managed to establish a successful smuggling operation, eluding both the UN and the Wakandan military for some time.
When T'Challa, the tribal king of Wakanda and a fellow mutant, tried to stop him, Moses hired additional mercenaries, including a number of mutants, and sent them out against Wakandan villages in retaliatory attacks. T'Challa tracked him down and confronted him directly, and Moses used his force blasts against him, leaving him for dead. It was not until T'Challa was joined by Ororo Munroe and a small team of X-Men that Moses's smuggling operations were stopped and he himself was taken into custody.
Though he was safely transported out of the country to a secure holding facility to face charges, while awaiting trial he was broken out of custody. His unknown liberators requested a favor in return - they asked him to travel to the US to assassinate T'Challa at a hydrology conference, something Moses was happy enough to do. He was forestalled by the intervention of Ororo and Nathan Dayspring, who electrocuted and tossed him in the East River, respectively. His current whereabouts are unknown.
Powers/Abilities
