Many homosexual males say that they knew that they were gay their whole life, whether unconsciously or consciously. Others say that they only realized their sexuality in the face of someone attractive of the same sex. This however was not the case for Warren Peace.

Warren Peace knew he was different from a very young age and it wasn't just because he had superpowers either. He knew that he was different because when his father took him to the playground with the other children, he played with the girls more and was shy of the boys. He also knew that he was different when he noticed that instead of watching his father prepare for a night out, he would watch his mother.

He would stare with rapt attention as she applied her make-up and mime her gestures as she dressed. He'd often imagine himself in dresses like hers, dancing with a man dressed like his father and being kissed on the hand by other handsomely dressed men. He knew this was different from what other boys thought, but his mother and father had taught him to be his own person and neither seemed to mind.

As he grew, he noticed his attraction to more girl orientated activities like dance and art. He didn't believe that, but his family members were most adamant about it. Warren just enjoyed having the ability to express himself in non-destructive ways. At the end of the day, even his relatives had to admit that he was a wonderful artist and they were all there for his recitals. He even took up writing and was found to be 'an extraordinary talent for one so young'. Warren didn't listen to these appraisals at all. He was just glad that his parents were proud of him and enjoyed his works and recitals. He was happy that his father wasn't like others and didn't force him into 'normal boy activities'.

When Warren was ten, he signed up for baseball. His dad tried to teach him how to throw a fireball, to little effect. However, after Warren had been going to practice and playing games for a few months, he no longer needed to teach his son a thing. Warren had the fastest, most on-target pitches in little league. Warren didn't care. He was just glad that his dad was happy.

Warren stopped playing baseball when he was 12 years old - 2 months after his 12th birthday, to be exact. That was the day that Warren's father was taken away from him forever.

When Warren hit thirteen, he was officially a rebel. His mother could do little to stop him as she wasn't allowed to see her son. His foster parents, the Robertson's didn't do anything at all. They were minor supers and Warren, for his young age, was at a level with his powers that far surpassed their own.

When Warren was 14 years old, his mother was finally allowed custody of him. Many believed this decision was made not because Rebecca Peace was mentally stable, but because no one could handle her seemingly unstable son. No one was shocked when Warren stopped 'acting out' to a large degree. He continued some of his rebellious ways simply because his mother didn't mind and because they both knew that he'd gotten to enjoy his strange version of freedom. He was also fourteen the year he started Sky High. It is said that no one had ever received more detentions and suspensions in one year. It was also said that no student had had powers so akin to that of a full elemental's and at the level of supers almost 3 times their age. Warren was an anomaly, a frighteningly beautiful and dangerous one.

Warren was fifteen, the first time he was allowed to visit his father. He could have been to visit him years before, but many were afraid that the young man might find an aptitude for prison breaks. No one is quite sure what occurred during their fifteen minutes together, but many say that both men left the room looking different from the way they went in.
