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.

Picture the sacred wall declares thave hung
My dank and dropping weeds
To the stern God of Sea.”

“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 (18171862)
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artists way of scribbling Kilroy was here on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (18971962)
