from wikipedia about the populor bedlam character

Bedlam (Jesse Aaronson) is a mutant superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. He possesses the mutant ability to create and project a bio-electric field. This has the effect of temporaly disabling any electric machinery in the vicinity. He can also utilize his power to scan the enviroment for other pre-existing energy fields. After the High Evolutionary reset the mutant genome in every mutant on the planet, Jesse gained the ability to affect the human brain’s neural chemistry, thus allowing him to project the illusion of pain and confusion into other people.

[edit]
Character history
Jesse Aaronson was created based on a character that had appeared in the Age of Apocalypse crossover, but did not have a 616 counterpart at the time. He was orphaned at the age of 5 after his parent were killed in a tragic car accident. After that, he and his brother Christopher were put up for adoption. Jesse ended up in the hands of the Xavier’s Mutant underground support engine or M.U.S.E., a group based out of Montana with the goal of rescuing mutants and training them as field agents. During that time he was exploited by Dr. Derek Parsons, who tried to convince Jesse that his brother was simply a figment of his imagination. When he reached the age of 19, Jesse decided to leave M.U.S.E. in order to track down his brother once and for all. He enlisted the help of the mutant spy and former X-Force member, Domino. He offered her information regarding the whereabouts of the Prime Sentinel unit named Ekaterina Gryaznova in exchange for Domino’s help. Gryaznova,now callling herself Gryphon, had implanted a device in Domino’s body several months ago, which severely diminished her mutant powers. Upon entering the base Domino was captured but Bedlam managed to escape. Using his resources from M.U.S.E., he managed to track down X-Force in San Francisco and break into their headquarters, in order to ask them for help. The team managed to free Domino and apparently kill Gryphon. In the process, Bedlam used his power to short circuit Domino’s implant.

Keeping up her end of the bargain, Domino managed to find information regarding his family. His parents were actually information analysts at the National Security Department. They payed a visit to his parents’ former supervisor, Dabney Saunders, who was residing in a retirement home, babbling incoherent sentences. Domino, however, discovers the orderly in charge of Saunders informing an undentified man about their visit. Both Bedlam and Domino broke into the mysterious man’s home using Jesse’s power and were subsequently attacked by Magma and Paradigm. Bedlam used his powers to disrupt Paradigm’s electronics, knocking out Magma in the process. However, they were subdued by none other than Jesse’s brother, Christopher. Christopher, calling himself King Bedlam, has the power to disrupt the higher functions of the brain. Chris was tagged as a mutant at the age of six by the N.S.D. and was taken into a research center after their parents’ death. At age 13 he fled, destroying Saunders mind in the process. He had now founded a new team of Hellions and offered an invitation of membership to Jesse, who gladly accepted. The group’s true intentions, however, were to reanimate the Armageddon Man in order to blackmail the U.S. goverment into paying one billion dollars. X-Force managed to subdue the Armageddon Man, but the New Hellions managed to escape. Jesse was invited back to join X-Force, as he had discovered that it was his brother responsible for their parents’ death.

After several missions with the team, Jesse learned martial arts through a Delphi box given to him by Peter Wisdom. The team also learned of Bedlam’s unique condition, which forced him to take medicaton in order to keep his own power from scrambling his brain. After the High Evolutionary removed every mutants’ power and subsequently restored it, the team took on a new direction. Peter Wisdom was now X-Force’s leader while Domino and Mirage had quit. Wisdom taught them how to use their new abilities. In Jesse’s case, he could generate an EM-disrupting pulse from a distance, without having to be in physical contact with the target machinery and disrupt neural responses just like his brother. He remained with the team until their apparent deaths in X-Force #115, where he used his power to destroy an underground alien colony.

After a new group of “pop star” mutants began calling themselves X-Force, the original team crashed their press conference. The only missing member was Jesse. Months later when a group called the Church of Humanity crucified some mutants on the lawn on the mansion, Jesse was found among them. Archangel used his healing blood to revive Magma and Jubilee, but neither Skin or Bedlam survived.

Alternate Versions
A different version of Bedlam was shown to exist in the Age of Apocalypse. This appearence actually preceeds the one in the 616 universe. In this reality, he worked for Sinister in his pens, along with his brother, who is called Terrence. He eventually turned on Havok, in order to help Cyclops and Jean Grey to escape the pens.
