He is the main antagonist of the Operation: Zero Tolerance storyline, as well as the Messiah Complex and the Second Coming story arcs. He is the mystical fusion of Master Mold and Nimrod.

Biography[]

Bastion was "born" when the giant robotic Sentinel Master Mold who fused with Nimrod fought the X-Men, who saw no other way to stop the virtually indestructible amalgam except to force it through the Siege Perilous, a pan-dimensional portal that subjects those who pass through to the judgment of the universe's higher powers.

Bastion also killed a Daily Bugle reporter and then captured Jubilee. Soon after, Bastion was remanded into SHIELD custody, but he escaped and returned to the former OZT facility. There, Bastion survived and was recaptured by SHIELD.

Bastion possesses enhanced strength, speed, nigh indestructibility and endurance, flight via jet boots and techno-organic wings, command of other Sentinels, immunity to mutant attacks, laser vision, and can shoot lasers from his hands and even his mouth.
