James Proudstar, known first as Thunderbird and then as Warpath, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Proudstar first appeared as the second Thunderbird in New Mutants #16 (June 1984).
Originally blaming the X-Men for the death of his brother, Thunderbird, he joined the villainous Hellions group to get revenge. He later reconsidered his views and became a longtime member of the militant X-Men offshoot X-Force. After a long journey to the Shi'ar Empire with the Uncanny X-Men, Warpath became a member of the new incarnation of X-Force, but he left after the events of Necrosha.
An Apache Native American, Proudstar possesses mutant superhuman strength and speed. His powers resemble those of his older brother, the short-lived X-Men member Thunderbird, although Warpath's power-levels are much higher. Warpath is one of the few mutants to retain his powers after the Decimation.
Warpath appeared in the 2014 film, X-Men: Days of Future Past, portrayed by Booboo Stewart.
Proudstar first appeared as the second Thunderbird in New Mutants #16 (June 1984), created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Sal Buscema. The character initially appeared as an antagonist of the New Mutants and X-Men, but eventually joined the New Mutants in issue #99 of that series, and the team became known as X-Force in the first issue of that series. The character appeared regularly as a member of that team for most of the duration of the title.
