Tantra (Reuben Alexander Porter) is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in "X-Treme X-Men #20".

Fictional character biography

Tantra, whose appearance resembles that of an elephant, is one of the many young mutants that have enrolled in the Xavier Institute.

When Sage and Bishop went to the Institute while investigating a murder, Emma Frost had some of her students, including Tantra, tease them. Tantra used his powers to make Bishop kiss a tree. Sage and Bishop overcame the students' manipulations and stopped Tantra and the others from continuing it further.

Tantra lost his mutant powers after the M-Day (powerloss confirmed in New Avengers #18). He was presumably killed in William Stryker's missile attack on the former students.

Powers and abilities

Tantra can cast energy flares that manipulate the libido of other people, causing them to become extremely aroused by anything he chooses, possesses an elephant-like physiology including large ears, stubby fingers, tusks, and a trunk.
