Origins


Marshall D. Gray at the age of 13, was a precociously inept and prodigious boy and a socially popular boy. Moreover, he had gained more popularity when he had defeated Howard Stark`s son Tony Stark, 8 times in a row in a quiz challenge. Even though he had such a wide and positive reputation, he was disturbed by the fact that his parents were hiding something really important and deep from him ever since he was a kid because of their sudden dissapearance into nowhere.

At the age of 18, his parents had mysteriously dissapeared with everything they ever had. With starting a research work with his childhood best friend Samson about the whereabouts of his parents, their hardwork and deep intellect help them to discover a secret labratory of his father. Discovering that his parents were mutants and potiental threats who secretly were a part of the Anti-Mutant Rebellion Program alongside Magneto, Mystique and many others, he discovers that his parents and the A.M.R.P had caused truancy of peace in several locations with alter egos. Deciding to make his name positive in the Gray family, he travels all the way to Britain to meet Charles Xavier to help discover his untested and undiscovered powers by the help of his father`s brother, Harper who was also a mutant too. After months of procedures, he unlocks his inner strength to gain his power of any kind of cosmic waves and energy fields as an inheritance from his parents. When the A.M.R.P attack Northshire in London, he decides to search for his parents. When he realizes that his parents were actually brainwashed by Pheonix in an act of gaining more recruits in the A.M.R.P organization, he fiercely battles with Jean Grey and at his first try, he does initially defeat her, but he is left all alone in the state of death in the Mountains of Broken Dreams where he battles Pheonix.

Healing and giving shelter to Marshall in his newly designed authentic sorcery cave, Stephen Strange decides to make Marshall his successor by seeing his great patience and his indominatible will by teaching him dark arts, alchemy and shadow alteration techniques. After two years of aggressive training daysa, Marshall becomes as strong as Strange and at the begginning decides to use his powers to take on the people he hates but after hearing a motivation speech of Spider-Man who says: "With Great Power, comes great responsibility," he decides to adapt the persona Exceed (because he exceeds the powers of superhumanity by inheritance of multiple abilities), and returns to New York and soon quickly enough becomes a superheroic sensation after his debut.
