My mother and father were not mutants. [ He smiles, easily. ] Mutation can happen at any time. A child who's parents are both blonde could quite easily have brown hair.

[ Shaking his head. ] Most of my research has been on mutation, but until very recently I knew that only I and one other person had a specific kind of ability. I had hoped of course, but never found someone else. From what I can tell a power doesn't really kick in until something happens to make it - puberty or a traumatic event.
