Genesis (real name Tyler Dayspring) was a character in Marvel Comics and a foe of Cable and Wolverine. He was a mutant with ability to form a psionic link with another consciousness and visually project those memories as solid holograms. (Genesis mutant ability is revealed in "The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Wolverine 2004") His first appearance was as "Mister Tolliver" in X-Force #5 (1992); his first appearance as Tyler Dayspring was Cable volume 2 #1, and his first appearance as Genesis was in Cable volume 2 #19.
Tyler was the son of Cable, the mutant cyborg from the future. He had been abducted by the villain Stryfe as a child and corrupted. He used time travel to come to the present, following his father. Adopting the alias of Tolliver, he hired the mercenary Deadpool and the futuristic android Zero to assassinate those whose deaths would change the future to his liking.
Later, adopting the identity Genesis, Tyler sought to replace Apocalypse in his role as warlord in the future history of his timeline, and chose Wolverine to be a soldier in his army, the Dark Riders. He attempted to erase Wolverine's mind and re-bond adamantium to Wolverine's skeleton. On both accounts he failed. Wolverine's mutation was sent into overdrive and he reverted into a beast-like, almost simian form. Wolverine killed Genesis in Wolverine volume 2 #100.
