Nathan Summers

## Background

### 2002 - 2010: Nathan Summers

The destiny of Nathan Christopher Charles Summers was planned before his parents even met. Geneticist Mr. Sinister found that a union between Scott Summers (Cyclops) & Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) would produce a powerful genetically superior mutant. Sinister hoped he could control such a mutant & use to control everything.

After Jean's death, Sinister created a clone of Jean & named her Madelyne Pryor. Sinister's plan was to produce the child he needed from the union of Madelyne & Scott. Sinister crafted a false background for Madelyne & arranged for her to meet Scott in a "random setting." Scott was instantly drawn to Madelyne because of her strong resemblance to Jean. After dating for around a year, they quickly married. Madelyne soon became pregnant & gave birth to a son, Nathan Summers.

Now having a family to protect, Scott retired from the X-Men & raised the child with Madelyne in Anchorage, Alaska. The move didn't last long as Scott soon missed his old life & the family moved to Salem Center to be closer to the X-Men. Over time, their marriage became strained as Madelyne resented the fact that Scott was rarely home & that he continued to miss Jean. Everything worsened when Jean was discovered alive during their second year of marriage. Scott essentially began an affair with Jean while attempting to keep his marriage a secret but that did not last.

Hearing of Jean's return, Mr. Sinister sent his Marauders to capture Nathan & kill Madelyne before she could be exposed as a clone. Madelyne survived & Sinister took Nathan to his secret lab in Nebraska. While experimenting on Nathan, Sinister also erased all records of Nathan & Madelyne's existence. When Scott returned home, he found no trace of them except for a baby toy left behind in their old home. Scott believed Madelyne had moved away with the baby until she came into the care of the the X-Men & revealed what happened. While staying with the X-Men, Madelyne slowly lost herself to the dark side of her personality when learning of Scott's affair.

Scott, Jean & Madelyne later discovered Sinister's lab where they found Nathan & other children in incubation pods. While attempting to rescue Nathan, a telepathic link between Nathan & Jean was created. When they finally freed Nate, Mister Sinister revealed Madelyne's true origins. Blaming Scott & Jean for the misery in her life, she intended to use Nathan & the other mutant babies as a sacrifice. However, Madelyne killed herself & locked Jean into a mental bond, hoping to take her down with her. But Jean re-integrated the portions of her life-force that had gone to Madelyne & also received Madelyne's memories, including those of raising young Nathan.

Nathan was then taken to the X-Mansion, where he was been cared for by Scott & Jean ever since.
