Biography

James Arthur Madrox was a male Mutant son of Dr. Daniel Madrox and Joan Madrox with him being born on September 7, 1953. Upon his birth, the doctors instantly realised the boy was not ordinary as he created a duplicate of himself. Around this time, his parents met with Professor Charles Xavier who revealed the true nature of their son and suggested that the boy grow up isolated till he came to terms with his abilities. Two weeks later, his father Daniel resigned from his position at the Los Alamos Nuclear Research Center and moved his family to Kansas as he isolated himself with him disappearing from the academic world. At the Madrox farm, James grew up isolated with no friends except his parents who attempted to help him cope with his powers. (Giant-Size Fantastic Four v1 #4)

When he was fifteen, the family farm fell in the path of a tornado which claimed the lives of his parents leaving James an orphan. He stayed on the farm for the next six years with him not liking living alone but coming to terms with it. This was until six months ago when he put on the television where he became engulfed with energy that left his body in pain as every electric appliance in the house was destroyed. In fear, he decided to leave the farm and headed towards New York where he sought meaning to his life. (Giant-Size Fantastic Four v1 #4)
