Fabio Medina

Fabio Medina is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He previously went by the codename Goldballs, but has changed to Egg following changes in the X-Men during the "Dawn of X" relaunch. The character is depicted usually as a member of the X-Men or as a supporting character in stories featuring the Miles Morales version of Spider-Man.

Fabio Medina is a teenaged mutant whose powers first appear when he was the victim of an attempted robbery on the streets of San Diego. After manifesting his abilities, the bouncing balls emanating from his body frighten onlookers, and he is taken into custody by the San Diego Police Department. However, Cyclops and his group of X-Men arrive just in time to rescue him. A squad of different-sized Sentinels attack the new mutant and Cyclops's team, who manage to destroy the Sentinels. Fabio is then invited to join the X-Men when they depart San Diego. Although Fabio is reluctant, he decides to follow them. Fabio then joins the X-Men during their visit to Eva Bell's home and the encounter with the Avengers, before being dragged into limbo during Dormammu's attempt to kill them. In the aftermath, Fabio demands to be taken home, where his family questions his disappearance and is befuddled at his claims of being a mutant.[volume & issue needed]

When S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Alison Blaire (Dazzler) arrives and questions him about Cyclops's location, Fabio loses control of his powers. He is taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody but is again rescued by Cyclops' team and rejoins them. He later assists in the battle against the Blockbuster Sentinel by concentrating the emission of his gold balls to topple them. He then assumes the mutant nickname "Goldballs".[volume & issue needed]

After many adventures under the guidance of Illyana Rasputin and Shadowcat, Goldballs and his teammates express uncertainty about continuing as students anymore.

Goldballs next appears in Spider-Man, where he is seen attending Brooklyn Visions Academy. He becomes the classmate of Ganke Lee and Miles Morales, aka the second Spider-Man.

During the "House of X and Powers of X" storyline, Fabio would make his home on the new mutant homeland of Krakoa where the true nature of his seemingly mundane mutant powers would be revealed. Working in conjunction with Proteus, Elixir, Tempus, and Hope Summers, he uses them to resurrect Cyclops, Jean Grey, M, Nightcrawler, Warren Worthington III, Husk, Mystique and Wolverine under X's instruction. After becoming a member of The Five, he changes his codename to "Egg".

Goldballs is a mutant with the superhuman ability to project at high-speed gold-colored non-viable ball-shaped eggs made of a mysterious substance and of variable sizes from anywhere on his body, and which he can use as concussive weapons. Goldballs can create an infinite quantity of these balls, which can bounce, and emit a "poink" noise when they connect with something. When he concentrates, he is able project the balls in a straight line and he can also direct them to move to a specific area. Goldballs can reabsorb the balls into his own body, and when he is calm he can make them disappear.

It is later revealed that his abilities, while relatively unimpressive, have the capacity for vast genetic application. Medina's eggs, when fertilized and combined with other mutant abilities, form the basis for the mutant resurrection protocols.
