| Origin |
| Guido Carosella grew up in
a normal and happy family, even after the manifestation of his mutation. Working as a bodyguard for an ally of the
X-Men,
Carosella came to the attention of a government agent recruiting mutants
for the government sponsored team
X-Factor.
During the team's introductory press conference
Carosella overheard a reporter comment that every team has a strong
guy. Taking the comment in humor he announced that his codename
would be Strong Guy. |
