Chrome (Allen Marc Yuricic^[1]) is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. He was a member of the Acolytes who first appeared in X-Men vol. 2 #1.

Fictional character biography

Chrome was among the first mutants who joined Magneto as one of his Acolytes and attacked Genosha before it was ruled by Magneto. He helped capture several members of the X-Men, and was one of the Acolytes given sanctuary by Magneto aboard Asteroid M. He later died when Asteroid M crashed, sacrificing himself by using his powers to coat the other members in Chrome.^[2]

Powers and abilities

Chrome had the ability to transmute elements and compounds, even those of living beings. He could fly at high speeds by partially transforming the air around him into combustible materials, producing a rocket-like thrust (presumably, his power protected him from being burned).

Other media

Television

• Chrome appeared in the two-part X-Men episode "Sanctuary." He appears as a prominent member of the Acolytes.
