Thomas Cassidy (Earth-7045)

Thomas "Black Tom" Cassidy is a mutant thief and career criminal who tends to work either alone or with his longtime partner the Juggernaut. The X-Men initially clashed with them at Cassidy Keep, and would have to contend with their schemes off and on over the years.

Black Tom is an amoral swashbuckler, filled with hate and jealousy for his cousin, Sean, a.k.a. Banshee. Black Tom rather appears to see himself as a dashing villain with strong Irish charm and luck, which makes him highly arrogant and prone to overconfidence and excessive risk-taking. He will sometimes take unnecessary chances to reinforce this image.

Black Tom sometimes has long depressive phases, presumably linked to Maeve’s life and death or his jealousy toward Sean. During those phases he becomes truly evil. His original career as a terrorist is an examples of this.
