## Biography

### Early Life

#### Childhood

Glenn Hughes was born on the 18th of September in Nashville, Tennessee to two normal scientists and lived a pretty normal life. Growing up he had a interest a lot of the work his parents did at the local laboratory and would pester them to tell him facts about the experiments they were involved in and just information about science in general.

This fascination continued all the way through elementary school, middle school and even into high school, which was reflected in his grades and it was during one of these lessons that Glenn paused his note taking to rub his head when notes still continued to appear in his notebook. Unknown to him, the teacher saw what had happened and reported it back to his parents. His parents however were not happy about this development as most of the work they had been doing was trying to cure and prevent mutants.

When he got home his parents cornered him and started questioning the 15 year old Glenn about what happened, how did he do it. All questions to which he didn’t have the answer to, theses questions continued until there was a knock on the door and a tall man stood outside saying that he was here to collect Glenn for a very esteemed private school that he had won a scholarship for. Of course both of his parents were confused but somehow allowed Glenn to go with the man anyway and he was taken to Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

#### The Mansion

Glenn spent a year at the school before meeting Daphne in their English class and quickly became close friends. Over the next two years they grew closer between studying together, learning their mutations together and more so when Glenn turned 18 it was only natural that he asked her out and of course she said yes.

Even though the two of them were pursuing different career paths, Glenn and Daphne stayed together and helped each other through. When they graduated both of them decided it made sense that they take up teaching positions at Xavier’s Institute for Higher Learning.

Daphne took the position of drama teacher and Glenn took the position as the science teacher which allowed him to inspired the students with his love of science the same way he had been as a child. His classes are known to be some of the most chaotic of all the teaching staff at the institute, and they stayed that way for the 20 years he had been teaching for.

When Xavier died and Directors Weaver and Gilmore took over the Institute name was changed to Jean Grey’s Institute for Higher Learning which had his approval. Since then Glenn has been looking forward to new students arriving so he can share the same love of science with them.
