Notes:

Black Tom's plant implants were first instituted in the Deadpool limited series. They were apparently removed between Generation X #25 and Uncanny X-Men (1st series) #361. His plant-like abilities returned, possibly through a form of secondary mutation, in UXM #409. They were removed by the Decimation effect, as seen in New Excalibur #6, returning him to only his original bio-energy blasts. He has since re-embraced these abilities in the Krakoan era, from X-Force (6th series) #1 on.
