### Early Life

Mackenzie is the youngest of three daughters, her dad Hector was an immigrant from Mexico who worked at a carpentry business and her mom was white and worked as a Paralegal in San Diego, California. Mackenzie's older sisters Carol and Aria wouldn't get Compound V as their parents refused but when they had Mack, they were struggling with some financial issues and needed the money so they made a deal with Vought so they could get money. Mackenzie wouldn't develop her powers until when she was 11 when she accidentally shattered her parents windows.

While her father disapproved of his youngest daughter being a Supe, her mother saw her the opposite, she started taking her into Superhero Pageant's but after some time she was getting too old for them despite her mother wanting Mack to continue going she rebelled against her family after she told them she was Gay and after her father berated her and her mother told her it was a "phase" she dropped out of high school and started doing vigilante work on her own while living with her Aunt Piper.

### Caught by Vought

But one day when she was stopping a mugging it was a trap, she was ambushed by Vought Agents and was tranquilized and woke up in a special made room so her powers wouldn't affect them. Their she met Madelyn Stilwell, the CEO of Vought at the time, Mack was worried she was going to end up in some prison but Madelyn was impressed with Mack, she watched several camera footage of her accomplishments. After A-Train joined the Seven in 2017, Madelyn needed some new blood to join Teenage Kix and despite Mack not coming from a rich family and was a under supervised Supe she was shocked from the offer. She agreed to it and soon enough she moved to New York.
