History
You worship gods; you praise heroes, you look to heroes for guidance and yet you look to us like we're a disease that you cannot understand. We mutants are more than you can ever be and we will not be subjected to the prejudice of the Governments and I'll be damned if my friends & family become the subject of such prejudice.

Kevin Reynolds was born to Lacy Reynolds on May 5, 1958 in Saratoga, New York. He was raised by his mother because his father died during World War 2 while liberating prisoners from Auchwitz Concentration Camp. Reynolds grew up knowing that his father died at the hands of evil and since he feared that evil would in fact rise; the young son of the fallen soldier took up the alter ego Mutant X after he discovered his powers at the age of 16.
He and his friends would later join as a team in order to save others from harm and protect their little community; however by the end of the 70's; Reynolds found himself sent into the military and placed in a special team commanded by Maj. William Stryker. By the 90s; after being within the team; Reynolds was working for a mining company in Africa; where he discovered a rock that would later help Col. Stryker create Adamantium. As soon as he discovered enough of the element; Reynolds liquidized it and surgically grafted it to his natural bone claws and skeleton.
By 1999; Reynolds was contacted by Charles Xavier who offered the mutant a job at the Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters as a physics and Science teacher. He accepted the job and taught many young mutants. At the same time; he met his wife and had his children. He also came across his old friend; who would later become known as ForestFire.

Mutant Rights
Because of the rising tensions between mutants and humans; Mutant X decided to take charge and lead a campaign so that mutants and humans can in fact co-exist. His campaign was later given a chance to explain itself when he was offered a chance to speak in front of the United Nations. He accepted the chance and made himself known as a mutant, as well as convinced the world leaders to enforce mutant rights on the world. Senator Robert Kelly also got him a lunching with the Commander-In-Chief the next day.
Mutant X accepted the offer and spent 20 minutes at the lunch with the President; until Emma Frost and her henchmen attacked the White House. This later led Mutant X to prove himself as the protector of mankind when Emma Frost had the President held hostage. He stopped Emma when his wife Nicole attacked Emma from behind; leading to him cuffing Frost and capturing her henchmen. 2 weeks later; Mutant X was contacted by Senator Kelly who in turn explained that the Mutant Rights Enforcement Act would be ratified by the whole world and they offered him to be the one to seal the document.

Allies
Thor Odinson
Back in the 1960s; Mutant X met Thor, who was visiting Earth from his home of Asgard. He was attempting to settle a bet with his brother Loki in hopes of making the mortals worship him as a god once more. This was when Mutant X came in and wanted to meet the great god of thunder. Thor then utilized his powers of atmokinesis, in an attempt to make Mutant X kneel; however because he possessed the same power; Thor was outrageously outgunned.
A fight broke out between the two titans and when Odin heard of this; he arrived on Earth and returned Thor back to Asgard; where he was banished back to Earth; stipped of his powers and turned mortal. Mutant X; despite having had a brawl with the Norse god of thunder, wanted to assist Thor and maybe get to the bottom of what happened.
Thor explained what happened between him and Loki where they wagered on if he could make the mortals worship him like a god once more. Mutant X knew Loki was a trickster and that meant trouble. Thor couldn't get back to Asgard; however what they didn't know was that Odin had sent Lady Sif in order to watch Thor and see whether or not it was his doing that caused him to cause much damage. She observed Thor who was wearing an experimental suit that gave him his powers and for the next several days; he assisted Mutant X and his friends. Sif reported her findings to Odin and he realized something was indeed up. He would later arrive at Earth where he met up with Thor and Mutant X and they discussed what happened. Odin now knew that Loki was the one who started trouble and so Odin granted Thor his power back.
