Cortez quickly gathered a second generation of Acolytes, a group with massive numbers mirroring the size the X-Men had grown to by this time and organized around a ChurchMilitant ideology that exalted Magneto as a mutant messiah. Unfortunately for Cortez, Magneto had survived his assassination attempt and recruited a messiah figure of his own, the biblically-powerful mutant Exodus. Deposing Cortez with Exodus's aid, Magneto retook the reins of Acolytes, casting them firmly into the role of EvilCounterpart team to the X-Men as a whole. However, off-panel politics (the continuing fallout of the rather fiittingly titled "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_Comics#Founding Image X-odus]]) disrupted whatever plans the writers originally had for the Acolytes, Consequently, they lost their focus after two highly-publicized CrisisCrossover stories (''ComicBook/FatalAttractions'' and ''ComicBook/BloodTies'') and devolved in short order into a team of SuperPoweredMooks.

* BadPowersBadPeople: The probable reason why he was made into a psychic vampire out of nowhere in 1996 -- unlike Fabian Cortez, his powers aren't (or weren't at first) naturally harmful to others, so the writers decided to 'upgrade' them to more strongly stress to readers that he is in fact a villain.

That being said, it was a fairly brief stint, and immediately after he'd nearly been killed fighting Holocaust on Avalon, when he was explicitly recorvering. The only time it was really seen was when he jumped Nate Grey (who was leaking psychic energy everywhere). Who sensed that he had been enhanced by Apocalypse. Cue UnstoppableRage and Exodus being overloaded and buried alive in an Alpine Crevasse (though the 'vampirism' thing was cured, so there's that).



* DoesNotLikeMagic: Being a displaced 12th century knight, it's no surprise that he has this attitude. He rebukes the High Evolutionary for his "occult dabblings" and considers the Scarlet Witch mutantkind's #1 enemy after she brings about M-Day.

[[spoiler: He softens on this after the ''Trial of Magneto'', when Wanda uses her death and resurrection to become 'The Redeemer', creating a mutant afterlife and ultimate Cerebro back-up that also a) neatly bypasses the need for the Crucible, b) allows the resurrection of every mutant that ever slipped through Cerebro's sensors, and tells her story alongside her.]]



* TheExtremistWasRight: In ''X-Men: Legacy'' he decided to kill Cyclops after reading Rogue and Wolverine's memories and becoming convinced that Scott was a threat to the mutant race. Shortly after this storyline happened we got the CrisisCrossover of ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', during which Cyclops went full baddie, killed Professor X and became the new Dark Phoenix.

* TheExtremistWasRight: YMMV. In ''X-Men: Legacy'' he decided to kill Cyclops after reading Rogue and Wolverine's memories and becoming convinced that Scott was a threat to the mutant race. Shortly after this storyline happened we got the CrisisCrossover of ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', during which Cyclops went full baddie, killed Professor X and became the new Dark Phoenix. Of course, not only was Cyclops pushed to the edge of sanity by constant attacks from the Avengers and Xavier himself (who should have known from the original Phoenix Saga how ''that'' would go), he only had the Phoenix because of what the Avengers tried to do to the Phoenix, and the end of the event sparked the regeneration of mutantkind. So...



* OneManArmy: His power is such that he can effortlessly take down entire teams of mutants. At the apex of his power, Exodus was able to handle the Avengers and X-Men simultaneously while ''also'' holding Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Jean Grey and Crystal captive in his force fields (he couldn't keep it up for long though).

The only individuals who've ever really matched him are teambusters like Magneto himself, Apocalypse, and [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]] (who would [[ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018 eventually]] NoSell almost all of the X-Men at once while having a philosophical discussion with ComicBook/JeanGrey inside his head).

Consolidated Tempo’s tropes to her folder in MLF page





* ButNotTooBlack: Occasionally miscolored this way.
* ComboPlatterPowers: Has a mutant form of TimeDilation and NotQuiteFlight, as she can levitate herself through unknown means.
* DeathIsCheap: Killed off in 2010's ''Age of X'' storyline. Despite the ambiguous nature of her death, it was later confirmed she did die, only for it to not matter as she was resurrected (or possibly just reappeared) in ''ComicBook/JonathanHickmansXMen''.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Was incorrectly referred to as "Strobe" (the name of one of her MLF teammates) in her first appearance. She also spoke with an exaggerated Southern accent when under the pen of (ahem) writer Rob Liefeld.
* {{Expy}}: Creator/BrianBendis's [[CreatorsPet pet]] mutant Tempus, from the third volume of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'', owes a ''lot'' to Tempo.
* HeelFaceTurn: After Exodus disbanded the Acolytes Tempo traveled to Utopia and lent her support to the X-Men, assisting them against both Emplate and Selene.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Wears a yellow bucket helmet reminiscent of the helmets worn by members of AIM, the primary reason for it seems to be that it provides her with protection from telepaths. She very rarely ever takes it off, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent even while wearing a bikini at a pool party on Krakoa]].
* IJustWantToBeNormal: To a degree. She wants to live a normal life, but isn't desperate to give up her powers like the BlessedWithSuck mutants tend to be.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Her helmet provides her with limited immunity, protecting her from Cable's telepathic probes in one storyline.
* MundaneUtility: As a Krakoan citizen, she puts her time-manipulating abilities to work aging barrels of whiskey for Sebastian Shaw.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: She was expelled from the MLF for saving the life of Henry Gyrich and Gyrich did zip for her in return, being his usual UngratefulBastard self.
* ParentsInDistress: She tipped off X-Factor to a planned MLF attack on an institute called the Tucker Clinic, with the clinic's titular head Dr. Tucker heavily implied to be her father.
* RedemptionFailure: After the MLF disbanded she initially attempted to return to civilian life, turning down an offer to join Cable's X-Force because she wanted to go to college. This didn't last long, and she quickly joined the next iteration of the MLF when the inevitable StatusQuoIsGod kicked in. After ''that'' MLF disbanded she disappeared for a few years, possibly attempting to go straight again, before reappearing as a member of the Acolytes.
* RandomPowerRanking: She and a group of her MLF teammates were identified at one point as Alpha class mutants.
* ReformedButRejected: She attempted to reform at least two times, but anti-mutant sentiment and the apathy of the X-Men for her plight led to Tempo slipping back into villainy.
* RefusalOfTheCall: At one point Cable invited her to join his X-Force. She declined because she wanted to live a normal life.
* TimeDilation: Her mutant ability. Note that she is ''not'' a TimeMaster as she cannot actually travel backwards or forwards through time, but instead can slow down or briefly stop time in the present for herself or a group of people. Think BulletTime in comic book form.
* TokenGoodTeammate: During her time with the MLF.
* UncertainDoom: When Legion warped reality into the Age of X Tempo was killed and when reality was resorted to normal she was nowhere to be found, but her death was never confirmed and X-Men writer Mike Carey specifically said [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=32903 in an interview]] that she could still be alive.

* StockSuperpowers: Played with — writers of the day were clearly ''trying'' to avert this, but the X-universe being so huge by that time meant that pretty much every power ever was being used by someone somewhere. This led to some mutants with a bad case of ComplexityAddiction to their powers.

* ButtMonkey: In ''S.W.O.R.D.'', in the space of the first issue alone, it's clear ol' Fabien's fallen down the totem pole. Magneto pretends not to recognise him, then brushes him off, while Abigail Brand makes it plain he's only there because they can't find anyone else with his powerset, and it's made clear no-one else on the Peak can stand him either.

to:

* BreakTheHaughty: After a massive HumiliationConga going from ''S.W.O.R.D.'' to ''Way of X'', Fabian remains his usual smug, entitled self until he's about to be [[ItMakesSenseInContext crushed by Phobos, the moon of Mars/Arakko.]]
->'''Cortez:''' [[VillainousBreakdown It's not fair!]] A-all I wanted was for people to think I'm - I'm important [[IJustWantToHaveFriends or - to @$%#$% like me]] - is that so wrong? And - and - and -\\
'''Nightcrawler:''' Fabian. [[ArmourPiercingQuestion How can you hope for the love of your people when you so clearly despise yourself?]]

* HeroKiller: Perhaps the most lethal use of Cortez's powers is seen in ComicBook/WhatIf #64, where he overcharges ComicBook/{{Gambit}}'s kinetic molecular
acceleration's powers to the point of making him ''explode''.

to:

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: The conclusion of his epic HumiliationConga from ''S.W.O.R.D.'' and ''Way of X''. He has a genuine moment of self-awareness, honesty and remorse after some serious ToughLove from [[AllLovingHero Nightcrawler]] and overcomes his cowardice and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]] to help him prevent [[EarthShatteringKaboom the destruction of Planet Arakko]], [[WhatYouAreInTheDark when he could have easily escaped.]] As a reward Kurt gives him the task of restoring his memories after he's resurrected from his HeroicSacrifice making him a key to Onslaughts defeat and therefore finally achieve his wish of being considered an important part of mutant history. He's then [[AndIMustScream put in a coma]] by an Onslaught possessed Xavier and since no-one saw/remembered his act of heroism, nobody protested when Xavier denied his resurrection.

* DyingAsYourself: Averted, as Nance's last known word (and the online post-brainwashing line she got) was a "No" when asked to join Xavier and the X-Men in evacuating Asteroid M. So not only did she not die as herself, but her FamousLastWords were almost certainly Anne-Marie speaking ''[[PeoplePuppets through]]'' [[FridgeHorror her]].

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: By the time he joins S.W.O.R.D. it's apparent he has no real friends, allies, anyone who might care about him because he's such an obnoxious blowhard. By the fifth issue [[spoiler:he gets replaced, and he further alienates himself from Magneto and the rest of Krakoa due to his incessant whining and LackOfEmpathy. It doesn't help that he delivered an entire rant about everything he feels is owed to him while completely naked and covered in goo from his rebirth. It doesn't help Fabian's case that the Quiet Council barely cared about anything he had to say, not even enough to angrily chew him out (with the exception of Magneto asking if Fabian honestly thinks his "suffering" is greater than Mag's own).]]
