## Fictional character biography

[edit]

As a young man, Madison Jeffries volunteered to enlist as a soldier in Vietnam alongside his younger brother Lionel. After Madison left the military, he met a man named Roger Bochs at a clinic for physically disabled persons. The two became friends, and Madison used his mutant powers to help Bochs create his Box robot. They were recruited into the new Alpha Flight program under Department H. When the Canadian government cut Department H's funding, Madison left the organization and found employment digging ditches.

After Alpha Flight returned to Canada, Roger Bochs recruited Madison to rebuild his damaged Box robot, to seek revenge against Omega Flight.[3]

Madison Jeffries later appears as a member of the Utopians alongside Elixir, Karma, Masque, Random, and Tabitha Smith.[4]
