[edit] Fictional character biography

Lifter has been a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Mutant Force and the Resistants.

His name has been included on a list of Mutants who have been depowered by the events of House of M and "Decimation" that was printed by Wizard Magazine. However the accuracy of the list has been disputed [1] and Lifter has not yet been listed or shown as depowered in any Marvel Comics publications.

[edit] Powers and abilities

Lifter's mutant power gives him the ability to lift heavy objects by canceling the effect of gravity upon them.

Lifter (alongside the other Mutant Force members) appeared in the X-Men episode "Sanctuary."
