Fictional character biography

Living life aboveground, the bespectacled David had everything society expected of him: a good job working at the post office and a wonderful wife, Erica. But all expectations evaporated the moment his mutant powers activated and he found he had accidentally erased his wife's mind. Panicked, Postman sought refuge with the Chicago-area Morlocks, whom he quickly became the leader to. As a group, the Morlocks decided that each of them should get a "last wish" before they disappear into the tunnels forever, and that the rest of the team would help each member achieve their wish.

While robbing a convenience store for food, the group happened to stumble upon an injured young mutant named Cell who had just realized his mutation. The Morlocks fought off the policemen and offered Cell a place with them, which he accepted. The group then started fulfilling wishes and first on the list was Shatter, who wanted to liberate his best friend. Postman accompanied the Morlocks as they rescued Shatter's dog, Hank, from the pound, then followed as they went to make Electric Eve's "wish" come true, unaware that wish was murder. They arrived to find Electric Eve having fried her ex-pimp. Postman and Eve argued about what she had done—making the rest of the Morlocks an accessory to murder. Eve retorted that Postman had put no limitations on what the wishes should be, Trader confessing that he wished to murder his co-worker who had "outed" him as a mutant and got him fired. However the argument was short-lived as the Sentinels arrived, blasting Shatter's arm off.
