History:

Kevin was born into a world on the edge of disaster. The mutant

phenomenon had everyone across the globe on edge. Fear separated the

two groups of humanity and kept everyone from doing anything that

would disrupt the delicate balance of power.

The peace was shattered when a young boy on a tour of the British

parliament spontaneously detonated killing over 200. Less than a month

later the United Nations passed The Preservation of the Species act.

This new law condemned all super powered individuals to imprisonment

for study or execution.

At first the fighting was painfully one sided. Regular Humans just

didn't have the fire power to counteract the inborn power of mutants.

But humanity has ever been an industrious race and as their weapons of

war advanced the battle pushed to the advantage of numbers over

individual power.

Kevin spent the first few years of the conflict on the move, using his

powers to avoid blood screening stations and Sentinel patrols. He was

only fifteen when he encountered the X-Men in the form of a psychic

recruitment poster. Xavier offered him allies and training; the two

keys to survival the telepath had said to him. Kevin eventually agreed.

The Battle of Westchester struck a nearly fatal blow against the

X-Men. Nearly half of their number were killed and another third taken

prisoner in what was certainly the worst engagement of the war. Kevin

barely managed to transport a small number to safety. Professor Xavier

was among the recovered bodies.

With their leader and moral compass dead the X-Men came very close to

disbanding. Until the most senior among the survivors took charge

herself and rallied them all to the memory of Charles Xavier.

The X-Men fought on and hope began to re-emerge. Many saw the end of

conflict and strife coming. Peace talks had begun and both sides were

eager for an end to the slaughter. In only a few short years what was

to be called "The Darwinian Crisis" had resulted in more casualties

than both World Wars combined. The Mutant Rights proposal had not been

refused out of hand, as many suspected. Skirmishes were now more often

traded insults and boasts than actual fighting. Peace was coming;

sooner or later, But Kevin Royce would not be there to see it...

Kevin found his way to Earth 1235 via a anomalous portal. Having no way

home he joined the X-Men of the new world and lead them through numerous

conflicts. His time with the X-Men ended when he pulled an unstable Arc

reactor out of known reality to save the team.

A series of unexplained phone calls lead to the realization that Kevin was

still alive. A combination of technology and magic was used to locate him and

bring him home; though his body and mind were greatly altered and he was

unable to function as a viable member of the team and departed for parts

unknown.

After the X-Men were forcibly relocated to Earth 12357 a different version of

Kevin Royce, a professional thief, was recruited into the X-Men.

On a mission back to Earth 1235 Kevin the thief and Kevin the soldier were fused

together on a fundamental quantum level creating a gestalt being with the knowledge

and skill of both, and the ability to teleport, rather than create portals.
