HISTORY: Mortimer was abandoned on the steps of a orphanage, he looked normal back then but he had been tested positive for the x-gene so his parents abandoned him instead of killing him. Everything, including his name and his mutant genes, was explained in a note that was pinned to his crib. It also said that something strange had happened at his birth, a large flash had lit the sky and the hospital blacked out. He was taken in and cared for, barely. The people that were meant to look after him when he was young always thought that because he could possibly have powers they could make him do things the other children cant. The worst thing was that he had no idea he was a mutant, thinking that he was being picked on for no reason so he became depressed most nights and slightly numb. When he was 13 he got put up for adoption for the first time, trying hard to fit in with his might be foster parents large adopted family. Around this time his mutant powers manifested themselves in a frightening way for him, his nose actually falling off his face one day. Frightened he had some sort of flesh eating disease Mort reluctantly turned to the carers for help, only after that learning that he was in fact a mutant. This, of course, ruined his chances of being adopted and he was left at the foster home again, abandoned by the people who could have finally given him a home. He kept his mutation to a secret from the other children, the carers deciding to hide his secret as well, retreating within baggy clothes and having to alter them constantly so they didn’t fall off him. He couldn‘t hide his mutation forever though and nearly half way threw his transformation the other children found out and he ran away from the foster home, taking up life on the streets as a beggar. He was actually a rather successful beggar, his thin frame urging people to throw money at his feet even when he wasn’t asking for it. He soon learned that he didn’t need to eat or drink however so he spent any money he had on things for other worse off beggars and charities, clothes to keep them warm in the winter and food when needed. He had never heard of Xavier’s, thinking he was alone and abandoned again. He was only really brought to the X-men’s attention when the local news crew did a small report on him, trying to figure out how he had managed to donate a lot of money to the homeless shelters.
