Ian Hayward

"I've often seen a cat without a grin and a grin without a cat. It's quite curious."

## History

After Ian was born his family had left him as they didn't think it would be wise to have another child since they had problems with money and could barely afford anything to eat, let alone raising another son.

He lived a normal life, but always felt he was different and that he had a greater purpose than just getting to college and a job, but opportunity never knocked at his door.

With much effort he finally got into Ohio's state University and got a degree on medicine. A few years after his graduation he got a job as the head neurologist at one of New York's most famous hospital. There, he attended many patients and saved many of them from their death, thus making him a renowed doctor.

## Inhuman Awakening

After the inhuman Ivara absorbed Selene in her godhood and took on her vast power, she sought to cause a global genocide and started to nuke as much cities as she could around the world. After she was stopped and seemingly died, this caused a new era of Inhumans to "wake up from their slumber" and activated the inhuman genes within them. One of the awoken inhumans was Ian.

After this event, Ian gained the abilities of a Cheshire cat, giving him various abilities, the most noticeable one would be the power to teleport or "evaporate" from one place and relocate in another almost instantly. He did not just gain the powers of a Cheshire, but also the power to turn himself into the Cheshire cat.

## Separate lifes

A few months after gaining his powers he decided to leave his mark in the world and started to help people outside of his medical range, using his powers to aid those who needed it.

He saw that many heroes around the world wore distinctive outfits for their fights and to keep their identities as a secret, but he didn't. Using his power of shapeshifting he would turn into the cat at night, which came off as helpful as his adversaries would not see him as a threat, but always won against them.

## Assault in New York

After Valac's army invaded New York, Ian knew this was way above his control and fled from the city.

His current whereabouts are unknown, but he most likely fled to the

Maldives.
