## Biography

### Early life

Christopher Kismet was born in Manhasset, New York on November 22, 1974 to a Canadian father and an American mother. Chris' mother died some time when he was a child, probably between the age of seven and twelve, based on what he said.[*source?*]

His father was an amateur hockey player, who could never quite make it to the pro's after an injury. Chris tried following in his father's footsteps and played hockey in high school, but quickly stopped when he couldn't take his father's constant criticisms. Chris was also somewhat of a ladies man in high school, which only exacerbated when his mutant powers first manifested, even getting girls to fall in love with him upon first sight.

### Mojoverse

After graduating, he had a bit of a falling out with his father, when he told him he was going to form a band and primarily concentrate on that. In September of 1993, Kismet and his girlfriend Rita Wayword were abducted by agents of Mojo and taken into the dimension known as Mojoworld. Arize, a scientist who secretly harbored hatred towards Mojo, modified Kismet's DNA to give him a number of enhanced abilities and also arranged for this Biped to have a near-mystical luck whenever he acted out of pure motives, to help him rebel against the Spineless Ones.

"The Lucky One" worked as both a stuntman and an actor in Mojo's various productions alongside Rayword, now known as Ricochet Rita, before the Imperative took root in his psyche. On pure instinct, he sought out his creator, Arize, who explained that he had created the Imperative specifically to engineer a revolt among the Bipeds. Kismet eventually began a rebellion known as the Cadre Alliance, after meeting Arize and became a legendary hero, but was captured by the Spineless Ones. They artificially induced amnesia in him, so he would become a submissive slave, but instead, the Lucky One fled and found an inter-dimensional portal to Earth.
