Origin
After the mysterious death of Sonny Baredo's family, he was placed in foster care while Professor X attempted to get custody of the young mutant.

Abducted and experimented upon by the mutant terrorist group Factor Three, he was deemed to dangerous, and was hidden in status for decades, cared for by the technician Ogre.

Released by the arrogance of the Fixer, his birth from stasis containment resulted in the random deaths of over 2000 people worldwide.  Faced with the choice of causing countless other deaths or exile, he chose exile within a realm unknown, to live separated from the Earth that calls in pain to the Humus Sapien.
