Wall is a fictional mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in Cable vol. 2 #79.
Wall was a member of Randall Shire's small travelling carnival in Australia before Shire was possessed by the alien Undying known as Semijan and subsequently enslaved Wall and his brother Key with his mutant vocal power.
Wall was forced to serve as Shire's bodyguard until the mutant hero Cable stopped an assassination attempt on Shire by another Undying known as Aentaros and discredited Shire in the eyes of those he had enslaved, thus freeing them from his control. Wall and Key aided Cable in breaking into the Undying's stronghold, and fought the Undying, distracting them while Key reprogrammed the Undying's artificial intelligence program, causing them to be unable to possess anything except cockroaches for the rest of eternity.
It has yet to be determined whether Wall has retained his mutant powers post-Decimation.
Wall is a low-level mutant whose body is denser than adamantium, and is resistant to injury. Wall also possesses enhanced strength.

Famous quotes containing the word wall:
“What a troublesome thing a wall is! I thought it was to defend me, and not I it! Of course, if they had no wall, they would not need to have any sentinels.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility,
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger.
Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
