Read more about Random at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Entertainment Random (Marshall Evan Stone III) is a fiction character and antihero created by writer Peter David for the Marvel Comics series X-Factor. He has made only a few appearances, but was able to be a thorn in the side of X-Factor and a sometimes reluctant ally of theirs. The mystery of his life has yet to be completely revealed. As a young boy, the mysterious man known as Random began his life in the hands of a madman. Somehow the Dark Beast had "created" him from a mass of protoplasm—making Random the result of an experiment the Dark Beast had begun during the Age of Apocalypse, as Sinister's lead scientist. The newly created young man was given the name of Alex, and he used this name as McCoy's helper down in the sewers beneath New York City. One day he escaped, shifted his appearance to that of a muscle-bound man, and took on the identity of Random. Since Random was said to be "created" it is possible that Marshall Evan Stone III is not his true name. One possibility is that he was actually born, then captured and recreated into his current state by the Dark Beast. However, since that is neither confirmed nor denied, it might be assumed that the name he uses is a moniker he adopted for his new identity as Random. The man known as Random found himself in the employ of the less-desired of society, taking on the title of a bounty hunter. According to the memories of Charlie Ronalds, a grown man, a person with Random's powers killed his parents while he, Charlie, was at a very young age. Random's powers made him an unpredictable wildcard, a random variable in battle. In his first encounter with X-Factor he is called in (presumably by the government) to bring back a group of Genosha renagades called the X-Patriots who are adamantly staying in a hospital where one of their comrades is being treated. He and X-Factor clash and, wanting to end the fight quickly, Havok buys out Random's contract.
Random has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
