| Madison Jeffries: Lil's husband, a robotocist working on the 'Box' program. Box was a Department H program which paralleled James Macdonald Hudson's early design work in robotics. Instead of an exosuit, they focused more on a larger design akin to power armor instead. The program did create a prototype, dubbed 'Box' in relation to his designer, but it never worked properly until the arrival of Madison Jefferies. His technopathic powers interacted with the Box prototype in a manner which made the robot work at the level the designers had hoped. His devotion to the project and to Box created a rift in his marriage to Lil, who he often neglected, and she left him to train with the X-Men.
Box has superhuman strength and durability. The Box armor also has the ability to fly and has a wide array of sensors and detecting equipment. Currently, only the prototype has been manufactured, and it only works when piloted by Jefferies, two limitations that the Box designers continued to work on until the closure of the program. He was approached to become a member of the new Alpha Flight team and has been seen in the field with Puck using the codename 'Box'. In August 2009 during a disastrous first mission for the new team, Madison burned out the Box suit and nearly his own mind with it in an effort to get himself and his leader, Puck, to safety. He remains in a state of psychic shock, cared for by his wife, who returned from the States for that purpose.
