Origin
Nimrod
Bastion is a Super-Sentinel, an amalgam of Master Mold, and Nimrod. The fusion happened when Nimrod encountered a module from Master Mold’s body. After being forced into the Siege Perilous, the being who would become Bastion was created, with no memory of his programming. Bastion was able to live among humans and became aware of the mutant presence, which re-activated his mutant-exterminating directives. Bastion somehow managed to infiltrate the American Government and gain access to Project: Wideawake, a governmental commission created to analyze and manage the "mutant menace", and its mutant neutralizing technologies. After the events of the Onslaught Saga, and the assassination of Graydon Creed, Bastion garnered enough political and public support to begin the global covert war against mutants known as Operation: Zero Tolerance. The US Government implemented Operation: Zero Tolerance, a plan suggested and overseen by Bastion.
He was raised by his foster mother Rose Gilberti as her human son. But it is depicted that Bastion was really cruel to her, terrorising her.
Zero Tolerance
Operation: Zero Tolerance
Operation: Zero Tolerance's objective was to capture and eliminate All mutants. To this end, Bastion created Prime Sentinels, implanting humans with nano-technology. This new generation of cybernetic Sentinel was the first of its kind and incredibly effective. Thanks to their human appearance, they were able to serve as sleeper agents and get the jump on the X-Men. Bastion was able to take over the X-Mansion; capturing some of the X-Men, learning valuable mutant intel, and stripping the home of their technologies. His original plan was to recover and use Xavier Protocols, with this data he could seek and destroy every mutant on earth, nevertheless Cable was able to stop him and destroy a great deal of the sensitive info. However with Xavier captured Bastion tried to fool him and get access on the real information behind the protocols. Once the origin of Prime Sentinels became known, International support for Operation: Zero Tolerance was withdrawn and the U.S. Government declared an arrest warrant for Bastion, pushed forward by Senator Kelly convictions.
Eventually, Bastion was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. with Iceman´s help. He was able to escape. During a battle with Cable and the Machine Man, he was all but destroyed. His remaining body was found by Mainspring, who deleted the Nimrod and Bastion programming inside of him. Bastion was given a new body and was renamed "Template". Ultimately, Mainspring and "Template" were destroyed. At a later date, Bastion's head was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and placed in a storage facility.
Resurrection
Bastion Reborn
In the aftermath of the Messiah Complex, the Purifiers infiltrated a SHIELD facility with the help of some double agents inside and stole back Bastion's head and reattached it to Nimrod's body. Once online, he alerted the Purifiers to the presence of the X-Force in their church. After their escape, Bastion carried out a plan to finally eliminate the remaining Mutant population by recruiting some of the prominent enemies of the X-Men and resurrecting others that have been dead and taking control of them by exposing them to the Techno-organic virus. Bastion fought Wolverine, but calculated that the risk was too high to fight him directly, and made His escape with the resurrected X-Men enemies.
Second Coming
Bastion had formed an alliance with anti-mutant leaders Cameron Hodge, Steven Lang, Bolivar Trask, Graydon Creed, and Reverend William Stryker. Dubbed the Human Council, they had assembled and combined the paramilitary forces of the Mutant Response Division, the Sapien League, The Purifiers and the Friends of Humanity. Their objective... Eliminate the recently-returned-from-the-Future Hope Summers, the Mutant Messiah.
Bastion Upgraded
Using the same Techno-Organic virus used to revive the Human Council, Bastion was using the T-O virus to locate Cable and Hope. After unsuccessful assassination attempts by the Sapien League and the Purifiers, things swung in Bastion's favor when the "captured" Donald Pierce succeeded in disabling Cerebra and neutralising the Mutant psychics. With the X-Men's communications heavily crippled, and no longer able to track Cable and Hope, Cyclops sends Ariel to teleport Hope back to Utopia. Aware of this, Bastion dispatches a fighter jet, which launches a missile strike at the vehicle that Ariel was in. The strike kills Ariel.
Using his own mutant locating technologies he is able to locate Hope, who is being escorted to Utopia by Nightcrawler and Rogue. Bastion is able to cut them off himself in Las Vegas. The ensuing battle culminates with Bastion killing Nightcrawler, but not before he was able to successfully teleport Hope and Rogue back to Utopia. Bastion, unsuccessful in His attempt to eliminate Hope, launches a Contingency plan.
After sending Donald Pierce to destroy the X-Men's Blackbirds Bastion had a large red energy sphere lock down not just Utopia but all of San Francisco. Not even the Avengers or X-Club could get through the barrier and inside the X-Men found a smaller sphere which was a conduit to the future. Soon a wave of Nimrods swarmed out of the sphere and attacked the X-Men, resulting in a number of injuries. The team stood their ground and repelled the initial wave, Only to discover that over 170,000 Sentinels were waiting on the other side of the portal.
Death
Bastion was obliterated by Hope Summers during the Second Coming story arc. Due to Cable's noble sacrifice, the sphere that was transporting Nimrods from the future was closed and Bastion's plan ultimately failed. In one final act of, what he believed to be purpose, he descended upon the surviving X-Men on the bridge. Whilst his underlings attacked the surrounding mutants, Bastion himself aimed at Hope, who he also believed to be the cause of the end of the world. Hope, enraged by the death of Cable, unleashed a portion of the Phoenix Force which augmented her already apparent 'copycat' mutant abilities.
Hope obliterates Bastion
Bastion's personality grew menacing during this encounter, stating that "It was beyond His capacity to hate Her, beyond their capacity to enjoy murdering Her, but were now beyond their capacity and would enjoy murdering Her'. During the fight, Wolverine launched himself at Bastion from behind and stabbed him in the back of the neck out of vengeance for Kurt Wagner. Hope then unleashed the full extent of her Phoenix Force augmentation and disintegrated Bastion's entire form in a blinding supernova.
Powers and Abilities
Blast it!
Originally, Bastion was a mystical amalgam of two hyperpowerful Sentinels: Master Mold and Nimrod. As such, he had a variety of abilities designed to locate, hunt, negate, capture, and destroy "Mutant threats". He was able to detect all mutants (within an approximate range of 20 miles), had enhanced strength, flight via jet boots, and could fire concussive or disintegrative blasts from his hands and chest. His Master Mold programming gives him complete control over any and all Sentinels and was able to create Prime Sentinels. He was also able to interface with any computer system within his undisclosed range, accessing its data and controlling its programming. His Nimrod programming gave Him a higher degree of intelligence than most Sentinels; He was able to assess Mutant threat levels and implement counter-measures when attacked. He was able to self-repair from most physical attacks, and was immune to all psychic attacks.
Following his "resurrection," Bastion upgraded himself with both Celestial and Technarchy technology. He infected himself with the Techno-Organic Virus and absorbed the "Apocalypse Strain" of Celestial Tech that Apocalypse bonded to the Mutant Horseman of Apocalypse, Archangel. These grant him amazing regenerative capabilities in addition to various other abilities.
