Creation & Design

Skin was created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Chris Bachalo, first appearing in the early 1990s as part of the New Mutants series, reflecting the era's focus on diverse mutant characters.

Early Years

Skin's early years were marked by his struggle with his unique mutation, which gave him six extra skin-covered limbs, leading to feelings of alienation and a desire for acceptance.

Character Development

Throughout his journey, Skin evolves from a character struggling with his identity to a more confident individual who embraces his uniqueness and fights for mutant rights.

Cultural Reception

Skin has been received with mixed reviews, often praised for his unique abilities and struggles, but sometimes criticized for the portrayal of his character in relation to stereotypes.
