 Husk (comics) - Definition 

Husk is a comic book superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. She has been a member of Generation X and the X-Men. She first appeared in X-Force #32 (1993), and was first called Husk in X-Men (volume 2) #37 (1994).

The sister of the X-Man Cannonball, Paige Guthrie was born to a large Kentucky farming family. As a teenager, she discovered her inborn mutant ability to shed her skin, metamorphosing into a different composition beneath. She has used this power to turn her body into stone, glass and an acid-like substance, among other materials. She can also use her power to heal herself by shedding a damaged form in favor of an intact one.

From the series' beginning in 1994 until its cancellation at issue #75 in 2001, Husk was a member of the junior X-Men team Generation X, where she earned a reputation as a workaholic, constantly trying to prove herself fit for the main team. She also developed a troubled relationship with her antisocial teammate Chamber. Towards the end of the team's existence, Paige became the group's computer expert and developed an interest in environmental issues.

After the break-up of Generation X, Husk joined the X-Men in the 2001 revamp of Uncanny X-Men and developed a relationship with the long-time X-Man Archangel.
