By what name is the Marvel mutant Alisa Tager better known? She is better known as Cipher.
Alisa Tager is a Marvel mutant whose powers center on complete stealth. She can become invisible, phase through solid matter, and suppress sounds and odors that would reveal her presence. These abilities make “Cipher” a fitting codename rather than a reference to computer programming.
Cipher first appeared in Young X-Men #8, published in November 2008. Writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Rafa Sandoval created the character. She is associated with the Young X-Men, the Jean Grey School, and the X-Corps.
Readers sometimes confuse Cipher with Cypher, the codename of Doug Ramsey, a different Marvel mutant known for translating languages and interpreting communication. The names are similar, but Alisa Tager is Cipher, while Doug Ramsey is Cypher.
