Pulse is a mutant with the ability to disable mutant and non-mutant abilities, as well as electronic systems.

Early Life

Pulse had been sent to a mutant relocation center until he was rescued by the Mutant Underground. He decided to join the effort and went on to become best friends with John. During a raid against a Sentinel Services relocation center, he had told John and the others to run while he stayed behind to short out their systems to cover their escape. He succeeded in shorting out all the lights and turrets, but he was shot and presumed dead by his friends.

He was taken by the Sentinel Services and placed in a special program devised by Trask Industries of weaponizing mutants and their abilities, turning them into Hounds.

Season 1

In eXit strategy, Pulse appeared in a flashback where him and his friend, John, were on a mutant rescue mission at a mutant relocation center. As they were looking through the fence of the facility, Pulse wondered why they didn't send him in first since his power of disrupting electronic devices would have served more sufficient. They could've used this to their advantage because Pulse could knock off the power of their security systems. However, John thought if they used Pulse's ability to get inside, the security guards would notice straight away and they would lose the element of surprise.

Not long after, Marcos came running back through the hole in the fence with the news that the break-out had failed and that they lost several of their members along the way. As the team retreated through the woods, Pulse went through the fence in order to disable the facility's gun turret. However, as he was about to retreat through the fence again, a guard emerged from the bushes, and immediately gunned him down. John was forced to leave his friend on the ground as they escaped.

Two years later, it was revealed that the Sentinel Services never killed Pulse, but instead captured and brainwashed him. Pulse now a member of the Sentinel Services, helped them in the transport of Lorna and Reed to an ultra-secure mutant facility. When they became stranded with a broken bus, Pulse's disruptive powers activated as Agent Jace Turner knew that mutants were in charge of the rupture of the bus tires. Every mutant soon found out their powers weren't working. John came to realize that was because of a mutant among Sentinel Services who was stopping all of the mutant ability. Pulse turned around, his eyes glowing a bright shade of yellow as he stared directly at John through the window. John decided that he was going to solve the problem at hand. Running up to his old friend, he tried talking to him, but when that didn't work he beat him unconscious.

In boXed in, Polaris and Eclipse captured Jace Turner so that they could learn what Sentinel Services had done to him. Turner told them that he was just a man helping to stop terrorists though Polaris didn't believe him as the last time they had seen him was when Sentinel Services shot him. Dreamer went into his mind and saw a symbol that Thunderbird remembered seeing tattooed on Pulse's arm.
