Biography
Origin
Quintavius Quirinius Quire
He eventually came to join the Xavier Institute to join the student body being taught by Professor X at the X-Mansion. During his time there, Quire stood out for being intellectually brilliant and quickly came to be Xavier's prize pupil. At the time, the full extent of his abilities were not known though he was shown to had been a powerful telepath. Among those he hung out with was Glob Herman and Quentin came to develop a crush on Sophie of the Stepford Cuckoos. (New X-Men v1 #134)
He then came to find out that he was adopted where this news shattered his view of the world. (New X-Men v1 #134)
Return
At some point, Quire was brought to Utopia where he was kept in a containment cell. Kade Kilgore using light-bending technology and a psi-proof helmet managed to infiltrate the island where he broke the containment systems there. This freed Quire who believed a breakdown had occurred and he was freed with him unaware of Kilgore's role in the matter. Quentin then decided to storm a arms control conference being held in Switzerland where he compelled all the humans to reveal their darkest secrets during the session that was broadcast over television. This was part of Quire's goal as he intended to continue his role as a Mutant revolutionary and believed he had done a great service to others of his kind. He disappeared afterwards but his actions caused a wave of anti-Mutant attitudes around the world leading to the rampant use of Sentinels. (X-Men: Schism v1 #1) Quentin later appeared at Utopia where he gave himself up to the X-Men where Cyclops decided to keep him on the island despite Wolverine's objections as he wanted to give Quire up to the Avengers. (X-Men: Schism v1 #2)
Afterwards, he was under arrest where he was wanted as a terrorist in three quarters of the world. Wolverine came to ask Captain America a favour in releasing Quire to the X-Men as he was re-opening the X-Mansion as the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning and wanted the chance of rehabilitating Quentin. He reasoned that if he was locked away that it would only secure him being a villain whereas at the school he could taught to be better. Captain ultimately granted him this favour and released Quire to the X-Men where it was expected that Rachel Grey was to keep a watch over him telepathically. The school later came under attack from the Hellfire Club who deployed a genetically engineered Krakoa to attack the X-Men. Quire managed to telepathically connect with the beast and had a sense of kinship with Krakoa after feeling him being manipulated with him filled with rage as well as hatred by the Club. Quentin thus learnt that Krakoa did not want to harm anyone and this contact allowed the creature to cease conflict whereupon he requested to join the X-Men. (Wolverine and the X-Men v1 #3)
Around this time, he had a film crew video his activities though they became frustrated as they expected to watch superheroics but instead saw him play games in his apartment. As a result, he decided to join a superhero team where he came to Hawkeye Investigations and offered to join Kate Bishop's recruitment drive for a new West Coast Avengers group. The video crew thus started filming the team and in exchange they provided the funds for their operations including a new headquarters. Around this time, Quire had a turbulent relationship with his team mate Gwenpool. (West Coast Avengers v3 #1)
House of X
After the establishment of the nation of Krakoa, he was one of many Mutants that came to reside on the living island that was the home of their people. (X-Force v6 #4)
They later came to learn that the force targeting the people on Krakoa was a clone of himself taken by XENO from his previous body that died at their base. It had been harvested for genetic material where it was used to create a distorted copy of Quire who telepathically targeted the Krakoans as a living weapon. With Phoebe's help, Quentin delved into the astral plane where he was confronted by his distorted mad copy. (X-Force v6 #18)
He came to be one of a number of Omega-level Mutants that were involved in the terraforming of Mars. They came to coordinate their efforts with the Arakkii Mutants where they came to make the planet habitable. This saw Arakko being transported to Mars where it was re-named planet Arakko that was the first Mutant colonised world. (Planet-Size X-Men v1 #1)
