burgeoning mutant
telepathic abilities. Dressed all in black, she was a teenager,
somewhat gaunt and appeared like a goth with white make-up on her face

premonitions about forthcoming disasters. Post-resurrection through Selene, she could
identify where her fellow resurrected Necroshans were.

History:
(New X-Men I#115 (fb) - BTS) - Negasonic Teenage
Warhead was enrolled in Emma Frost's telepathy class on the then mutant
island state of Genosha.
(Nation X#4/2 (fb) ) - In one of the classes attended
by Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Emma Frost taught the class how to hack
into the minds of some movie stars.
(New X-Men I#115) - During another
telepathy class tutored by Emma Frost, Negasonic Teenage Warhead
reported on a nightmare that she had 50 times the previous night
wherein everybody died. She also stated that was having the same vision
there in class. At that point, Cassandra Nova's advanced Sentinel force
began its genocidal sweep of Genosha.
(New X-Men I#116) - After being
dug out by the Beast and Phoenix (Jean Grey), and surviving because of
her diamond form, Emma Frost carried the corpse of Negasonic Teenage
Warhead up from underground cover and proclaimed the teenager to be a
credit to "her family and other species". She ordered some human
members of the rescue team to revive the girl, but they declared that
she'd been dead for hours.

(X-Force III#22) - Negasonic
Teenage Warhead was resurrected by Selene using a strain of the alien
techno-organic virus, but predicted that she would soon be
dead again.
(X-Force III#23) - Standing beside
Selene and the
resurrected Thunderbird (John Proudstar), Negasonic Teenage Warhead
predicted that he would soon be fighting his brother, Warpath, but that
they would all be dead again.
(X-Force III#24) - Still by
Selene's side, Negasonic Teenage Warhead advised her of her hit squad's
progress in attacking the X-Men's haven of Utopia and watched them
teleport in. She was also aware of Destiny's struggle elsewhere
but was later caught up in the destructive wave across
Necrosha triggered by Selene's rise to power.

SECRET WARS III HAPPENED
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#1 - BTS) - The
Mercs for Money were hired by Umbral Dynamics to capture Negasonic
Teenage Warhead, who was supposedly a danger for herself and others due
to powers based on radioactivity.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#1) -
Foolkiller of the Mercs for Money watched Ellie through a window in her
home in Albuquerque, New Mexico and felt like a creeper. She was
texting with a friend when her powers suddenly showed her the near
future. Always a step ahead of the individual members of the Mercs for
Money, Ellie managed to defeat Solo, Slapstick, Stingray, Terror and
Foolkiller before surrendering to Deadpool and Masacre because she saw
a future when Deadpool would promise to not leave her behind. Terror
wondered if they should tell her parents what was going on, but Ellie
told him there was no need to. When the Mercs for Money drove off with
Ellie in their van the home of Ellie vanished.
Deadpool and the Mercs for Money
handed Ellie over to Umbral Dynamics agents in hazmat suits, who had
the suits on as precaution even though she was not yet emitting
radioactivity. Though they promised she would be in good hands Deadpool
had a hard time believing them. While they took her away Ellie saw the
near future when she was experimented on by Umbral Dynamics.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#1 (ff) ) - At
the Umbral Dynamics HQ in Bagalia Ellie got a new haircut and put in
restraints on a chair where her vast powers were siphoned off.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#4 (fb) - BTS)
- Caroline Le Fay, the leader of Umbral Dynamics, used the energy
siphoned from Ellie and the others captured by Deadpool's team to
revive her Russian ally the Presence.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#4) - After learning of Umbral Dynamics' evilness (from undercover agent Machine Man in the previous issue) Deadpool broke into their HQ in Bagalia to free Ellie. He found her cowering in a cell after taking out numerous guards (robotic and human)
and was immediately warned by her of an upcoming attack. While Deadpool
tussled with Titania, Scorpia attacked Ellie to return her to her box.
Surprisingly Ellie proved to be much stronger than Scorpia anticipated.
Ellie picked her by her tail and tossed her around like a doll, even
threatening to use her body against Titania. When a hologram of
Caroline appeared to reveal what she was doing with Ellie and the
others captured by Deadpool and his team, Ellie was mad at first
because she couldn't believe Deadpool was working for her. Deadpool
revealed he never knew who was behind Umbral Dynamics and actually
believed he was doing something good. Caroline then introduced
Presence, who had been woken up with the powers siphoned off Ellie and
the other prisoners. Presence quickly hurled Deadpool into the nearby
jungle.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#5 (fb) - BTS) - Ellie was returned into her cryogenic chamber.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#5) - When
Deadpool, joined by Domino, Gorilla Man, Masacre and Machine Man,
attacked Umbral Dynamics again he freed Ellie and the other prisoners
by shooting their cryogenic chambers. Released from her prison Ellie
was protected from Titania and Scorpia by Deadpool. She remembered the
the promise Deadpool would make to her in the future before he asked
her if she had any power she could use against Presence. Ellie absorbed
all the radiation siphoned off of her and the other prisoners into her
own body, dissipating Presence's form in the process.
Ellie returned with Deadpool's new
Mercs for Money to the mercs' heavily damaged Schaefer Theater HQ and
decided to stay with them because she was unable to return home anyway.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#6) - Domino
sent Ellie to tell Deadpool they had a job. She surprised him in a dark
corner in the Schaefer Theater while he was playing with action
figures. She was a bit miffed that a troll doll with a shaved head was
supposed to be her and didn't even want to know why Deadpool had a
whole crate of Domino action figures. She told about the job and to be
ready in 30 minutes before assuring him that she was on his side even
though Domino was now making the decisions in the field. They talked a
bit more about putting Deadpool back in charge of the team and Deadpool
thought what they needed were new uniforms. Ellie promised she could
make that happen.
When the Mercs for Money arrived in
Atlanta, Georgia to take down the mecha-big top base of the Circus of
Crime, Ellie created alternate Deadpool costumes out of thin air while
they dropped on to the Big Top for their attack. Though Domino was mad
at Deadpool and Ellie for helping him that way, the team fought the
Circus of Crime in their new uniforms. Ellie easily took out Clown,
whom she made float after breaking apart his unicycle. After the battle
Deadpool kept berating Domino for keeping Hit-Monkey, who had shoot
Deadpool as soon as he had arrived at their HQ. Ellie didn't support
Deadpool's wish to get rid of Hit-Monkey because she thought the monkey
was kind of cute, right before Hit-Monkey shot Deadpool again.
Back in their regular outfits the
Mercs for Money arrived on S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Triton to pick up
their payment. Ellie overheard Domino talking with Deadpool about her
powers. She was present when Agent Haines revealed S.H.I.E.L.D. had
actually sent Hit-Monkey to the Mercs for Money as Deadpool had
expected, but claimed he was just supposed to be a liaison for them.
She then revealed that their payment for the Circus of Crime job was
transferred to their accounts as their were speaking.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#7) - Deadpool
discussed with the Mercs for Money, including Ellie, if they should get
involved in the war between the Inhumans and X-Men. Deadpool was going
to join the X-Men to destroy the Terrigen cloud, which threatened the
lives of all mutants. Ellie considered it a lose/lose scenario because
whatever they did one side was going to be destroyed by the result.
Ellie returned to her room to think and used her powers to...
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#8) - ...do
nothing because an alternate future self of herself appeared and told
her not to do what she was thinking about doing and just let everything
play out as it was supposed to >(at the beginning of the issue
we saw that she was going to alter the chemical makeup of the Terrigen
cloud...this event would result in a dystopian future seen in #7-8)
When Deadpool went to pick up Ellie
for the battle against the Inhumans she was gone, which made him kinda
happy because he thought she should sit this mission out anyway. He was
unaware Ellie had decided to look after Deadpool's daughter until this
crisis was over.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#9) - Ellie
joined the Mercs for Money to deal with Deadpool's wife Shiklah, who
had conquered Manhattan with the monsters of Monster Metropolis. Afraid
they would be obliterated by an army of monsters immediately they
decided to put on monster costumes when Hit-Monkey just walked through
the monsters. Ellie put on demon horns to change her appearance, which
proved to be enough. Going up the elevator at the Rockefeller Center
Ellie felt that they were found out. A fight ensued on the 43rd floor
between the Mercs for Money and a group of monsters, but Machine Man
pulled them out of the fight and took them all to the top floor to
reach Shiklah before she could put all humans to sleep with the Sandman
device. Unsurprisingly Gorilla Man fell under her control.
(Spider-Man/Deadpool#16) - Gorilla Man attacked the
Mercs for Money, knocking out Ellie before throwing Masacre and Domino
off the building though they managed to hold on to a cable. Hit-Monkey
talked some sense into Gorilla Man, who saved his teammates from
falling to their death. Ellie regained consciousness and hoped
Spider-Man and Deadpool were able to find Dracula. Ellie and the rest
of the Mercs for Money attacked Shiklah once again, but when she
activated the Sandman device using the Scepter of the Manticore the
Mercs for Money fell asleep immediately.
(Deadpool & the Mercs for Money II#10) - Machine
Man was just pretending and unsuccessfully tried to wake his team up
again. Failing to do so he carried them through the corridors, feigning
to be asleep each time they ran into monsters. Eventually Machine Man
destroyed the Sandman device, waking up all humans in Manhattan
including his team.
(Deadpool VI#29) - After Shiklah got married to
Dracula, starting a reign of terror in Monster Metropolis, which was
quickly ended by the monsters themselves, who opposed Dracula and his
vampires. The Mercs for Money watched Deadpool fight his ex-wife
Shiklah and didn't interfere because Deadpool was broke and couldn't
pay them anyway. Ellie and Masacre decided to take down the winner
after the fight was over. The battle ended and Shiklah decided to leave
town with Dracula. The Mercs for Money did nothing.
(Despicable Deadpool#298) - Ellie attended a meeting
alongside other former allies of Deadpool (including pretty much all
former members of the Mercs for Money, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Daredevil
and Jessica Jones) with Captain America and Maria Hill to find a way to
bring in Deadpool peacefully.
(Domino III#1) - Ellie attended Domino's birthday party in San Francisco.
Omar Karindu notes that this character was named after a song by the grunge/metal band Monster Magnet.
More precisely a song from their album "Dopes To Infinity".

In Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men III#12-17
(February - November, 2006) Negasonic Teenage Warhead was part of the
illusory Hellfire Club (also including Perfection, Sebastian Shaw and Cassandra herself) created by Cassandra Nova within Emma Frost's mind.
--Markus Raymond
Negasonic Teenage Warhead's return from the dead seems to be a result of her popular appearance in the movie Deadpool (2016) and its sequel in 2018.
--Markus Raymond
Deadpool's Negasonic Teenage Warhead and the one
from New X-Men are so different from each other they almost seem like
two distinct characters. It is unknown if she always possessed
reality-altering powers or if these powers manifested following the
destruction of the Multiverse. It is also possible this version of
Negasonic Teenage Warhead actually hails from an alternate reality and
became part of the main Marvel Universe not unlike other characters
(see Spider-Man/Miles Morales or the Maker/Reed Richards).
--Markus Raymond
In Deadpool Annual III#1 (November, 2016) by Duggan
& Posehn with art by Koblish Deadpool shared an adventure with
Firestar and Iceman in a reality reminiscent to the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends
cartoon. At the end of the story Deadpool sought new roommates, but was
disappointed when Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus turned up on
his doorstep (so where they because they believed Spider-Man had put out the ad). Different N.T.W., but a fun tidbit nonetheless.
