BEETROOT

The Warpies are children born in Great Britain that mutated because of magical energies from Otherworld that leaked through to the Marvel Universe, caused by the continued existence of two members of the Captain Britain Corps. Their births stopped when Linda McQuillan (Captain UK) was transferred to an earth whose Captain version had been killed.

Some Warpies were diagnosed with a strange illness that destabilised their genetic structure, making them lose their powers and slowly kill them. Beetroot was one of the victims.
