First X-Man

Do you know who I am? No? Then you soon will...

Did you think that Jean Grey was the first X-Man? Did you think the mighty leader of the X-Men, Cyclops was the first X-Man?

You did? Then you're even foolish than I imagined! I AM THE FIRST X-MAN!

I remember the day clear. Sunny. Bright. It manifested, my mutant power. The ability to change my skin into a bio-telekinetic energy. I remembered how I cried and cried for days. At the prospect of being a mutant.

Hmph! I was naive back then. But I've learnt since then to embrace my power. I had a kind soul and heart back then. My parents never looked me in the eyes when my mutant power manifested. I thought, there wasn't much to life after that...

However two people, two people changed that. Their names were Charles Francais Xavier and Erik Magnus Lensherr.

They soon were to be known as Magneto and Professor X. They had a Dream when they were young. To create a school for mutants and help them change the World.

They showed me such kindness, I thought it was all going to get better...Remember I was naive back then....

Mr.Lensherr and Professor Xavier, had clashing ideologies. It wasn't SO apparent then, it is now...But their friendship became continually strained.

They took in others like me...Mutants and taught them the ways of their powers...But soon the School was divided...Xavier and Lensherr became two sides of the same coin.

It was like a mutiny I tell you. Lensherr was on one side of the School Hall and Xavier on the other. The bunch of us had to chose whose side we were on. There were 5 of us...and 3 of us chose Xavier, including me....

Mr.Lensherr...his rage was always his bane. He unleashed a full magnetic blast at Xavier.

Ortega...ha! He was such a funny ass! He...he...he did the stupidest thing! He--he got in the way of the blast that was meant for Xavier and it ripped right through him...

The 2 who sided with Lensherr fought against Jen and I...Jen--she was so beautiful. She just--wasn't strong enough for Tessa...Tessa scrambled her mind, and left Jen lifeless...

I injured Max. He was always a kiss ass for Lensherr...But it turns out Max was TOO injured...And he died...My first killing when I was 16...

I injured Tessa too, and Magneto fled! Like the coward he was!

It was just Tessa, Xavier and myself. The Dreamed turned into a nightmare...I wept, and wept. But life goes on? Doesn't it?

I always thought Xavier as a Saint...a saint for mutants...But he wasn't a Saint...He was a Sinner.

He rehabbed Tessa, changed her a little...And he continued to build his Dream of the X-Men...But he couldn't have me around...He couldn't show signs of a failure in his dream...He needed to convince teenage mutants that his cause was right...

So he "disposed" me...He put me in here...a mental institute for mutants...Locked me up, so that his "precious" X-Men didn't know his first failure....

But he kept Tessa didn't he? She was a great asset to him but not me...Why? What did Tessa have that I didn't?

He didn't want to tamper with my mind. Make me forget because he didn't believe in "tampering" with the mind....

I was the first X-Man...

I was the first X-Man...

And I'll have my revenge, soon.
