Candra
Real Name: Unrevealed Affiliation: Horsemen Eyes: Red Hair: Blonde Status: Deceased (Holocaust) Candra possesses the abilities of telekinesis, she can fire psionic bursts from her eyes, and is also able to enhance the powers of others, even if those powers are dormant. Before joining Apocalypse, Candra was the leader of the Thieves Guild of New Orleans. After becoming a Horseman, she assisted in the raid of the United States Nuclear Defense Arsenel as a part of Apocalypse's Horsemen. Using her telekinetic powers, she was able to grant the Horseman access to the Cape Citadel's defense system which Gideon then used to take control of Strategic Air Command and all the U.S. missile sites around the world. After Sabretooth was deemed unfit to lead, Candra took over the reigns of the Horsemen and unsuccessfully led them against the X-Men. She survived to escape in Apocalypse's Ship, but was later killed by Holocaust in a battle for succession. In our reality, Candra is one of the immortal mutants called Externals. In the past, Candra provided the Thieves and Assassins Guilds with power in exchange for monetary tributes until Gambit journeyed to the past and stopped the Thieves Guild from giving her the secrets of Apocalypse. As a result, Candra set up Belladonna's abduction of Cody, the boy sent into a coma by Rogue's first kiss, in a failed attempt to torture Gambit by trapping and killing Rogue. Later, she placed the whole of her power into a gem that was stolen by a young Storm. Candra attempt to lured Storm to her so she could re-acquire the heart of her powers, the gem, but Storm destroyed Candra's heart and it appears that Candra may have died as a result. |
