Beacon generates "biocentric energy gel" from his body, often in the form of small energy globules that could imprison others. He can generate small to large spheres.

Derrick Beacon aka Beacon debuted in Marvel's Creators Choice: X-Men #1 

exclusively to Pizza Hut.

Beacon was tricked by Mister Sinister into believing that mutants were bad after his powers developed. Sinister then had Beacon lured the X-Men into his grasp. When the X-Men arrived at Montclair High School, they

found out that Derrick was losing control of

his powers and cutting off the airways of

various bystanders. The X-Men (except

Jubilee who was in hiding) were captured by

Mister Sinister. Jubilee told Beacon being a

mutant was something to celebrate not

something to be ashamed of. Derrick then

told her that his friends and classmates

hated him for being a mutant but Jubilee

reminded Beacon that they weren't very

good friends to begin with. 

Beacon helped Jubilee

rescued the X-Men and

defeated Mr. Sinister. Gambit 

offer Beacon to join Xavier's

School but declined so that

he could focus on finishing

high school and possibly go to college.​

That's all for this Black Comic Spotlight.​​​ For more geek-related content follow Geekpin Entertainment on Facebook, Twitter, ​Instagram, and Threads. Thanks for reading, stay geeky.
