Quill (Max Jordan) is a fictional character, a mutant appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. One of the students at the Xavier Institute, he first appeared in New X-Men: Academy X #1 and was created by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir. When the students were each assigned to squads, Quill was assigned to Cyclops's Corsairs training squad, a group named after Cyclops's father, Corsair. (See Xavier Institute student body for a lineup of the Corsairs squad.) Quill was voted class clown by the students of the Institute.
Max was caught trying to steal test answers from the headmaster’s office. Kitty Pryde assigned him and his accomplices, George and Winston, to be mentored by Gambit, but instead of making them see the error of their ways, Gambit taught the boys some real thieving techniques.
He is killed during William Stryker's attack on the Xavier Institute in the wake of M-Day. His body was seen in a telepathic image Emma Frost used to torment Carol Danvers about her persistence with the Registration Act.
