Silver (real name Jhimon Tang) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Character history

Jhimon Tang and her brother Zhao were Chinese mutants who were involved in a plot to overthrow the Hong Kong government to prevent the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to the Chinese. The attempt was disrupted by Rick Mason, also known as the Agent, and soon thereafter the siblings fled to Canada where they were recruited into the Canadian government's Gamma Flight team.

Shortly after Gamma Flight was disbanded by the Federal Government, Silver and Auric were kidnapped by the enigmatic being known as the Sphinx. Jhimon died while being experimented on by the Sphinx's scientists. Jhimon's consciousness now serves to form part of a composite energy being which was created from Jhimon, her brother, and a scientist that was investigating the site of the Sphinx's base. The base was destroyed in a battle between the Sphinx, Spider-Man, and the team New Warriors.

Powers

Silver was a mutant who possessed the ability to fly along with the ability to shoot beams of intense cold from her eyes.
