Prudence

Origin 

Prudence Leighton was a mutant spy employed by Charles Xavier.  She had the mutant power to psychically jump into and possess other women. When Xavier and the X-Men and associated company were publicly outed, the X-Mansion, school, and so on, Xavier realized their might be a need for more secretive and sensitive missions to be completed without the associations that might reflect on himself and the X-Men and ultimately mutants. So he considered utilizing clandestine elite secret operatives to fulfill missions and tasks too risky for X-Men. Prudence was one of such agents, more than that she was his best and top operative. Her existence was unknown to the general X-Men and she was believed to be killed in the line of fire. She was fondly remembered by Shortpack who often reminisced about her past exploits and success much to the chagrin of Mystique. Xavier was especially distraught at her apparent passing.
