Name: Nathaniel "Nate" Scott Grey
Origin: X-Man #1 (Marvel Comics)
Age: 21 (Physical Age Accelerated 10years)
Personality: Nate is definitely still not to be confused with his brother Cable.Though Nate has matured a great ways since his arrival from his original horrendous world. He is still quite the optimistic impulsive young man his new family the X-Men have come to know. Just fortunately for all around him, he has learned to control a temper near on par with Logan's.
History: The story of Nate Grey, one of the most powerful mutants ever, begins in the Age of Apocalypse, a changed timeline that came into existence when Prof. Charles Xavier was accidentally killed by his wayward son, Legion, who had traveled about thirty years into the past. This tragedy caused a chain reaction, resulting in the rule of the mutant madman, Apocalypse, over Northern America. During Apocalypse’s rule, one of his Horsemen and longtime-allies, the geneticist, Nathaniel Essex aka Sinister, realized that his and Apocalypse’s goals were no longer compatible. He wanted to bring humanity to the next level, but Apocalypse’s creed “only the strong may survive” endangered all of humanity. In order to rid himself of the dictator, Sinister formulated a plan.
He arranged for his foster son, Scott Summers, and the imprisoned X-Man, Jean Grey to have an affair, and, without their knowledge, used their DNA to secretly impregnate her with an immensely powerful offspring – the ultimate telepath and telekinetic, whom he christened Nathaniel Grey (after himself and Jean). Young Nathaniel was to be made a weapon shortly after his birth but the X-Man, Logan came freeing Jean & her infant son. Which lead to an intensive scarring battle between Logan & Scott over the love of Jean. Though this time with his mother was only for several years before Sinister sent Alex Summers to retrieve Nate so he could be force-grown in a tube of Sinister’s lab and let out several times as a child to check on his progress. Even then, he displayed telepathic powers at an incredibly high level.
When Nate reached the age of a boy in his mid-teens, he escaped, with no knowledge of his origin and help from unknowing father Scott Summers. Whether this escape was an accident or Sinister wanted a “test-run” for his creation is unclear. Nate was lucky as he was quickly found and adopted by a ragtag group of mutant rebels, who, disguised as a theatre troupe, tried to help humans. The group, consisting of Toad, Mastermind, Soaron and Brute, soon became his family and their leader, Forge, was the only father-figure Nate ever knew
After some time, however, Nate grew dissatisfied with their life and his role in it. He wanted to know who he was, what his limits were and it bristled that Forge, afraid that Apocalypse might take notice of the boy, ordered him not to use his powers. Nate, being a teenager, rebelled more and more openly, which resulted in two others joining their group : One was a young girl named Theresa, who was saved by the group, who then learned she was a mutant with sonic powers. The other was the mysterious Essex, who claimed he had worked in Apocalypse’s factories and now wanted to help the rebels against his former master.
Essex fuelled Nate’s rebellious feelings and urged him to use his immense psychic powers more and more, even making suggestions on how to better use them, e.g. using telekinesis as a means to fly. The result, however, was that Apocalypse’s pet telepath - the Shadow King - noticed the new, powerful telepath and Apocalypse dispatched his personal assassins, under the leadership of the deadly Domino, to capture or kill Nate. The assassins confronted the group and, after several deaths on both sides, Nate and his friends managed to beat them. At that time, however, Forge recognized that Essex was up to no good and confronted him. Essex, actually Sinister in disguise, murdered Forge and told the boy of his true origins. Like he expected, he managed to convince Nate to go after Apocalypse after the obligatory fight. However, what he did not expect was that Nate, in his rage, actually managed to wound Sinister mortally.
Wanting to honor Forge’s dying words, to look for Magneto, Nate did so telepathically – what he got was a vision of Magneto imprisoned and being tortured by Apocalypse. After saying goodbye to his lover, Theresa, Nate decided to fly towards Apocalypse’s palace, well aware that this might be his death. Entering New York he witnessed how humans and low-level mutants broke out of the genetic pens. He helped them against the Infinites, Apocalypse’s troops, and ran into the leaders of that break-out, his genetic parents, Jean and Scott. Nate and Jean instantly recognized that there was a bond between them. Scott asked him to join them, but Nate replied he had to finish Apocalypse first and hoped to catch up with them later.
After gaining entrance to Apocalypse’s stronghold, Nate freed Magneto and then was engaged in a battle with Apocalypse’s son, Holocaust. While the X-Men desperately worked at their plan to restore the true reality via the M’Kraan Crystal, Apocalypse actually stole a shard of the crystal, intending to travel to the other reality to team up with his counterpart and conquer an entire universe. Nate yanked away the shard, before finding himself once more up against Holocaust. As the X-Men’s plan succeeded and the Age of Apocalypse was washed away, Nate, still fighting Holocaust, angrily rammed the shard in his foe’s chest, while still holding on to it.
The consequences of that act were unexpected and far-reaching, as Nate and Holocaust were both transported to the primary reality. Along with small handful of other individuals when it reasserted itself. Awakening in this completely foreign world Nate found something completely missing from his, happiness. He over the course of time would find family, friends, and lovers gleefully accepting him openly into their lives. However also due to his recklessness and lack of training of his own powers there are some individuals who earnestly wanted to be on his side, but instead Nate made them into his worst enemies.
