HISTORY: Born in Wales Tommy Burd always loved the fact that he and his parents lived near the ocean. He often took long walks on the beach by himself. His childhood was relatively normal until his thirteenth birthday. He went out for a walk on his own. After he did not return by sunset the police were alerted. Finally after 4 days of searching it was reported that a boy had been sighted unconscious in the sea two hundred miles away from Tom’s house. Upon rescuing the boy the police were shocked to find it was Tom. When questioned Tom just said that when he was out for a walk when some local bullies rushed him. They beat him up and something strange had washed over him, the bullies had then stared in horror at him and thrown him from they’re grasp and fled. A few days later a Professor Charles Xavier came to him and offered him a place at his school. He explained to Tom that he was a mutant and that the institute was the best thing for him. Not wanting to hurt anybody with his powers Tom agreed to come. Tom's parents where more than happy to allow their son to go to school abroad where he could learn to control his extraordinary gifts. After some rather eventful years at Xavier’s School for the Gifted Tom graduated. He had always had an inventive side and it earned him quite a living by patenting his works. He was even commissioned by the British Navy however his short time spent back in England remains classified. Some things he still missed about Xavier’s school, mainly Lyra who he hadn’t seen since leaving. He still held a soft spot for her and greatly wished he had kept in touch. When he was approached by Emma Frost to become a teacher at the school he saw his chance to see what his old sweetheart was up to. Tom is head of aquatic training.
