History:
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Remember It" - BTS) - Cipher moved to Genosha at an unrevealed point in time. The African island nation had become a mutant paradise, allowing all mutants like Cipher to live in absolute freedom. Cipher soon befriended other mutants like Dazzler, Exodus and Multiple Man.
(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Remember It") - The streets of Hammer Bay were filled with festivities and laughter when the United Nations had formally admitted Genosha. Awaiting that night's prestigious Hellfire Gala to celebrate mutant culture, Cipher joined her friends Multiple Man, Exodus and Dazzler in a spectacular dance performance to entertain the Genoshan citizens. Meanwhile the X-Men (Magneto, Gambit and Rogue) arrived to speak with Genosha's Interim Council as they wanted Magneto as their new chancellor of Genosha something which Magneto accepted on the condition that Rogue would rule by his side.
That very night, Cipher attended the Hellfire Gala and was seen dancing with Boom-Boom. However, during the gala Genosha was targeted by the techno-organic Sentinel hybrid Bastion who send a monstrous Mastermold to destroy and kill all mutants. As chaos ensued, Mastermold and its Sentinels rendered the island nation to rubble, murdering many mutants like Cipher's friend Dazzler. In the end it was X-Man Gambit who sacrificed himself to successfully destroy Bastion's Mastermold.
(X-Men '97: the Animated Series cartoon - "Tolerance is Extinction - Part III") - Having survived the Genosha genocide, Cipher was seen standing alongside Psylocke and several members of Alpha Flight when Bastion's large army of Prime Sentinels descended upon Genosha and other parts of the planet after Earth's magnetic field was restored. Although unseen, Cipher and the others supposedly battled the Prime Sentinels until Bastian's assault was halted when he and the downfall of Magneto's Asteroid M was stopped by the X-Men after which they disappeared from the planet.
Comments: Created by Marc Guggenheim, Rafa Sandoval and Roger Bonet;
adapted by Beau DeMayo and Marvel Studios. (see Appearances list for full list of artists)
The Sentinel used in the attack on Genosha is generally referred to as either the Tri-Sentinel or a Wild Sentinel, however, the end credits of "Remember It" used Mastermold for it's name.
When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
