Switch (Devon Alomar) is a mutant in the Marvel Comics universe, a member of the Hellions. The character, created by John Francis Moore and Jim Cheung, first appeared in X-Force #87 (February 1999).

Within the context of the stories, Switch is a mutant with the ability to displace brain patterns, enabling him to "switch" bodies with another person. He is invited to join the Hellion. During his first mission, he switches bodies with Domino and traps her in a cellar of a winery. Using Domino's body, he tricks X-Force into believing the Hellions to be no threat. The real Domino regains consciousness and attacks Switch, forcing him back into his own body. He quickly fled the scene.

Later, he regroups with the Hellions and joins Feral in attacking Senator Owen Danville. He places his own mind into the senator's body, which allows them to easily kidnap him and bring him back to King Bedlam to witness the revival of the Armageddon Man. Ambushed by X-Force, Switch is taken out of the battle by Domino before he could get into any of the heroes' bodies. He recuperates, and after Tarot's betrayal, he joins King Bedlam and Feral in leaving before the Armageddon Man can do them any harm.

Famous quotes containing the word switch:

    Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    Children ... after a certain age do not welcome parental advice. Occasionally, they may listen to another adult, which is why perhaps people should switch children with their neighbors and friends for a while in the teen years!
    Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
