Caliban is a mutant character from Marvel Comics, primarily associated with the X-Men. Born with pale skin and a frail physique, Caliban possesses the power to sense and track other mutants. His mutant-tracking abilities are exceptionally potent and can extend over great distances.

Initially, Caliban lived a reclusive life, ostracized due to his appearance. He found refuge with the Morlocks, a community of mutants living in the sewers beneath New York City. He becomes their tracker, using his mutant abilities to find other mutants.

Later, Caliban developed a closer relationship with the X-Men. He served them, particularly as a tracker, locating mutants of interest to the team. He was also recruited by Apocalypse, who transformed him into a powerful warrior. This transformation enhanced his strength and physical abilities, though it came at a cost to his personality and morality.

Over time, Caliban shifted his allegiances multiple times, working with and against the X-Men, depending on his circumstances and mental state. He eventually returns to his original form before his death. His story is one of a mutant struggling to find acceptance and purpose, often manipulated by more powerful forces.
