Biography

Michael

The transformation was made possible by using an Iratus bug retrovirus developed by Dr. Carson Beckett and his team. The drug suppresses the Iratus bug DNA and allows expression of the Human phenotype that is otherwise suppressed. When a Wraith is transformed in this way, they lose all their previous Wraith memories in the process. The Atlantis team thought it would be wise not to divulge this information to Michael, and instead created a cover story in which he was captured by the Wraith and was rescued by Lt. Colonel John Sheppard's team. They also fabricated a back story for Michael which said that he is originally from Texas. However, all of that changed when he found a disc in the infirmary which eventually exposed the truth about his Wraith origins. He then kidnapped Teyla Emmagan and escaped Atlantis. Teyla was rescued while being taken to his Hive ship, although Michael, now transforming back into a Wraith, got away and returned to the hive. (SGA: Michael)

Overview

Personality and attributes

Following his transformation into a human, he was given false memories and given the name of Lieutenant Michael Kenmore. (Episode: Michael)

Powers and abilities

displayed a greater ability to mind link with Wraithkin than most Wraith. While reverting for the first time to his Wraith form, he proved capable of taking control of the mind of Teyla Emmagan when other Wraith, even Queens, required Teyla to link with them first. However, he controlled of Teyla appeared to be more of a hypnotic command rather than a full possession. Two years later, after becoming a Hybrid, he was capable of linking with Teyla's mind over 10,000 light-years, farther than Wraith could even communicate with each other and implant a vision in her mind while disguised as Kanaan. Presumably His ability to reach out in this manner came from his enhanced abilities as a Hybrid though Lastlight suggests that a bond had formed between himself and Teyla. (SGA: The Kindred)
