Fictional character biography
Smasher is a long-time member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. He is superhumanly strong and durable, and can fly under his own power. He can "download" powers via the special goggles that he wears; so far he has been seen to obtain in this manner "penta-vision", which may be a form of clairvoyance or X-ray vision, and the ability to travel into hyperspace ("4-space") without a vehicle. He has been romantically linked with Plutonia.When Cassandra
Nova was decimating the Shi'ar empire, Smasher was one of the
few entities that managed to personally protect the empress
Lilandra.
Under protest, Smasher is ordered to travel to Earth to warn the
X-Men about the threat Nova posed. He crash lands in a field full
of cows. He does not make it to the mansion until well after the
Imperial Guard, brainwashed by Nova, were attempting to kill the
X-Men. His presence manages to convince the Guard to fight against
Nova, although he and the others were swiftly defeated by
her.
Later, he is killed by Vulcan,
a powerful mutant who attempts to conquer the Shi'ar empire.
