## Background

### 1994: Background

Gabriel Summers' story begins as the unborn child of Christopher & Katherine Summers, who are also the parents of Scott & Alex Summers. Unbeknownst to her & her family, Katherine was pregnant when their plane was attacked during their flight home from vacation. The Shi'ar Empire set the plane ablaze but Katherine was able to get her sons out. Just before the plane exploded, both Christopher & Katherine were teleported by the Shi'ar.

Now prisoners of Emperor D'Ken, the two were separated but Chris managed to escape & looked for Katherine while slaughtering any guards in his way. Chris found that Katherine had forcibly become one of Emperor D'Ken's concubine & was in the middle of being sexually assaulted by D'Ken. Wanting Chris to suffer for actions against his authority, D'Ken killed Katherine in front of a helpless Christopher. He then killed Christopher afterwards. Knowing the woman was pregnant, he ripped the baby from her.

### 1994 - 2003: Vulcan

The baby was placed in an incubation-accelerator, used to breed new slaves & aged him to the prime adolescence. Emperor D'Ken then sent him to one of the planets they had taken control of for the man to become a slave for Davan Shakari, the Emperor's hand. Having no other name, he took on the name Vulcan after hearing a story between the guards. In time, he learned how to use his nascent powers but kept them a secret from everyone.

After nearly a decade of being enslaved, he felt that he had finally mastered his powers enough to take his revenge. He soon made his escape, headed for space with only the vision of D'Ken killing his mother raging on his mind. On his way to the Shi'ar galaxy, Vulcan captured a Shi'ar war-bird & its crew & learned of D'Ken's sister Deathbird, who was in exile. As he made his way towards the Shi'ar galaxy, he destroyed the star-gates behind him to hinder anyone following him, which brought him to the attention of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard.

Many members of the Imperial Guard were killed or seriously injured during the battle. Vulcan was ultimately defeated, losing his left eye as a result. Under D'Ken's orders, he was taken to the prison orbiting Phygim. After spending months time in the prison, he was released by a "Secret Order" of Shi'ar. They seemed to want Vulcan's help in 'restoring the true empire' & took him to meet the imprisoned Deathbird. She managed to convince him to at least delay his plan for vengeance, as she too wanted to get back at her brother. The two even became romantically involved & after he used his powers to heal D'Ken's injuries, D'Ken asked him to marry Deathbird.

After his wedding, Vulcan killed D'Ken & named himself Emperor of the Shi'ar. A civil war soon erupted between the Shi'ar troops loyal to D'Ken & Shi'ar troops loyal to Vulcan, Cal'syee & Lilandra. As the war continued to rage on, D'Ken forces gradually whittled away at Vulcan's, which were plagued by defections. The Shi'ar were not happy to have an outsider as their ruler but accepted him as Cal'syee was at his side.
