Jonas Graymalkin was born over two centuries ago to Charles Graymalkin and his wife Marcia Graymalkin where he grew up in a province of New York. The only son of his parents, he was said to had have a good and happy life despite the strife at the time over taxation and representation of the people in the British Parliament. The young Jonas was unconcerned as by the time he was 16 years old he was looking into his own sexuality as he was a gay man. One day, his father caught him in the barn with another boy and in a rage Charles Graymalkin lashed out at his son where he called him an abomination. He beat Jonas seemingly to death and buried his remains where he intended the ground to hide him. His father was unaware that it was then within the darkness of the earth that his mutation was triggered allowing Jonas to survive. Under the ground, he attempted to dig himself out but remained buried for the next two centuries. (X-Men: Manifest Destiny v1 #3)
