Fictional character biography
Jumbo was a famous mutant fashion designer who created fashions fit for and inspired by the various and inhuman forms of himself and other mutants. One night, Jumbo was jumped by a group of anti-mutant thugs. Despite his injuries, he dies from an overdose of the mutant-enhancing drug called Kick. He expires on a city sidewalk.

Although his role was minimal, Carnation would have a substantial impact in the pages of New X-Men. His death galvanized Quentin Quire, a troubled student at , into progressively destructive behavior as he believed that Carnation had been murdered by racists. The investigation conducted by the X-Men themselves (an act covered by the news) would reveal the role the drug played. Quire's gang, also affected by the drug, would go on to attack the people he thought responsible for the murder. All this would culminate in Quire's kidnapping of Charles Xavier and inciting a riot on the school grounds. This riot led to the death of two innocent students: Sophie of the Stepford Cuckoos and Dummy of the Special Class.
