==History==
===Early Life===
Born the only child of his father, Ronald Rankin, Calvin Rankin was a mutant who could mimic and copy other superhuman abilities. His father while a brilliant scientist was a terrible businessman which resulted in his discoveries and creations being stolen from him. Reduced to a shell of a person from his failures, Calvin grew up poor and under the thumb of a bitter, dejected parent. It's unknown on what happened to his mother as she either dead early in his childhood or left his father.
Sometime later during an outing on the streets, Calvin discovered the identities of the original X-Men by mimicking their powers from a short encounter with them in their civilian identities. Filled with jealously and anger at the thought of them being better off then him, Calvin decided to use his powers for personal gain and joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Following his first fight with the X-Men, the other members of the Brotherhood abandoned him, leaving him to be arrested. While in prison, Calvin was visited by Professor Charles Xavier himself who offered him a position in the X-Men. Calvin accepted the offer and soon became one of his world's many and greatest heroic champions. With his ability to copied abilities he quickly became good friends with the first gen X-Men as he eventually even outshined the more reserved Cyclops and became the team's leader.
