Radius, before being depowered, could generate a permanent force field around him. It is currently unknown if the two are siblings, some other relation or altogether unrelated. It has long been rumored that Carmella Unuscione of the Acolytes is the daughter of Unus. It was later revealed that Unus the Untouchable was Radius' father after Flex starts searching for their fathers through their adoption agency. Jared survived the fall, though, and has been shown as one of the many depowered mutants in the aftermath of M-Day. Radius is defeated when the villain Avalanche opens a chasm beneath him. The X-Corps was ultimately betrayed by its criminal members. Radius is later hired by X-Corps, a militaristic strike force founded by former Generation X headmaster and former X-Man Sean Cassidy, a.k.a. The Corbo brothers and several other members of the new team were later reassigned to Alpha Flight's trainee team, Beta Flight. Both groups of Alphans merged into a unified Alpha Flight following this adventure. Their Alpha Flight team fight several members of the original Flight and later team up with them to defeat a new Weapon X, who had been created by a rogue Department H scientist. The team also confronts Department H's own power-mad leader, Jeremy Clarke, who dies of radiation poisoning during a Zodiac raid on the Department H headquarters. He has brainwashed them and is building a Tower of Babel, an enormous structure that is intended to reach heaven. The Bishop is found by Alpha Flight after many innocent civilians go missing. They assist the new Alpha Flight in battling several foes, including the Zodiac organization and the Brass Bishop. The brothers were recruited into a new incarnation of the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight. Various discrepancies in the mission lessen the Alphans desire to do battle. It is Adrian, though, who calms things down by wanting to talk instead of fight. Jared stands up to Wolverine's intimidation tactics, but soon a fight breaks out anyway. Jared's bravado, when the team corrals Wolverine, is met with shock by Adrian, who has a high level of respect for the man. This was part of the lies and mind-control that Department H was using on the entire team. Later, he is sent to corral the mutant Wolverine, whom the entire team believes has killed the ex-Alpha Flight member Box. Jared rejects the initial flirtations of his teammate Murmur for personal reasons. Both brothers manifested mutant powers after puberty: Adrian gained the ability to transform parts of his body into blades, while Jared manifested a personal force field that could not be shut down. While Adrian became shy, reserved and bookish, Jared became athletically inclined, aggressive, and arrogant. Jared and his younger half-brother Adrian (later code named Flex) were raised in the Hull House orphanage, which was actually a facility operated by the Canadian government's secretive Department H. He first appeared in Alpha Flight: In The Beginning #-1, and first appeared as Radius in Alpha Flight vol. He is a former member of the superhero team Alpha Flight. Radius ( Jared Corbo) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
