History Thomas’s childhood was a nightmare of abuse. His father, Alan, beat him frequently because of his mutant abilities. After his parents died, Thomas and his stepbrother Quinn were sent into the foster care system. While Quinn eventually found a path toward the X-Men, Thomas’s trauma led him into the underworld. He spent years as a carnival worker, using his agility to entertain while honing his darker skills in the shadows. Eventually, he became a high-level assassin. He is most notorious among the Next X for being the man who killed Joanna Howlett (Badger), sparking the lifelong vendetta held by Silver Wolf.
