"Delving Even More Deeper..."
History:
Born to a fireman
mom and cop
dad. Sadly his dad died on the job while their child was still a baby, but Xanders mom would be consoled by his partner who eventually became his second
mother before he was old enough to know any better. Raised by two women would make anyone a bit of an odd man out, but he took it as best he could with such a large target on his back.
When the bullying started, both moms agreed to have him take martial arts for the act of discipline more than anything else. He was taught how to use a hatchet both because of his parents Native American heritage to the tomahawk and his mom being a fireman that hatchets and axes were always available. After his dad had died, both his moms had started to become doomsday preppers with lots of focus on survival and bugging out with him being raised in the same ways as well in case he ever had to leave quickly for having two mothers. Part of that prepping included supervised gun use him his mothers standard issue shotgun, another part of that constant prepping meant taking him to both of their works and learning some tricks of the trade like how to use an emergency vehicle or any other huge vehicle. In case of, well, emergencies.
When he turned 15 his moms took him to a police impound auction to buy his first car with his permit, expecting him to get something cheap but running. He surprised them both with buying a totaled tow truck and spent a year rebuilding the engine instead. They had instilled in him a need to prepare so he opted for a vehicle with enough power to get him wherever he needed and pull anything behind he would need. His parent made him an emancipated minor as another tool to add to his survival skills since he could count himself as legally employed.
With his tow-truck and emancipation, he got a license to operate with small business and established "Don't Ask Towing". He targeted teenagers first few fender benders and those looking for discretion. Thanks to his moms, they funneled business his way when pulled over cars needed to be collected or accidents that required firetrucks needed to get the cars out of the way. This let him earn quite a tidy bundle to tuck away month after month.
When he was 16 his power manifested as he saw the high school football team dragging a known gay student into the locker room clearly against his will. The speed that he ran to the rescue actually broke the sound barrier, the rest seemed to stand in slow motion as Alex brutally beat every one of them within an inch of their lives. 20 to 1 yet he didn't have a scratch on him except for the falling glass from blown out windows of the sonic boom, it was then that the x-men came for him.
The cover story was that a low flying aircraft flew overhead that caused the boom and his earphones saved him from the boom when he went to help the kid. He was expelled for violence but wasn't arrested for assault as he was stopping a hate crime in progress. He changed his last name to protect his moms who had him legally divorced then expunged from the family records and left home to learn how to use his talent.
