Biography
Terrance Sorenson was the son of two well-achieved research scientists. Though his mother Margay was successful, his father David was widely disregarded due to his wild theories on altering thermodynamics. His father became frustrated, and started drinking and abusing his wife and son. Eventually Terry, who was seventeen at the time, and his mom left him. While they were leaving, one of David Sorenson's experimental devices caused an explosion which killed him and mutated his son who had tried to save him. (Marvel Team-Up v1 #60)
Terry was later seen able to control his powers after serving as a test subject at Project: PEGASUS and joining a support group for former criminals called Vil-Anon. He renounced crime and started a family, though his wife died and his daughter Janet inherited his powers, unintentionally causing several fires. Terry became frustrated trying to teach his daughter to control her powers, and became physically violent with her. Suspecting that Terry was hurting his daughter and that he had caused the fires, Sam Wilson, a.k.a. Falcon, intervened and had a quick skirmish with Equinox. After learning the truth of the situation, Falcon appeared on Terry's behalf in court, and Terry was able to go free. Afterwards Falcon also helped the Sorensons contact someone who could help Janet control her powers and help Terry overcome his abusive tendencies. (Marvel Comics Presents v1 #147)
