Early Years[]
Warren Worthington III (born September 1983) was the only child of the founder and CEO of Worthington Labs and business tycoon Warren K. Worthington Jr. and his wife, socialite Kathryn Worthington. Growing up Warren was constantly exposed to his father's Mutant bigotry, this in turn led him to severe self-loathing after his Mutants powers manifested and the angelic-like wings he would come to be known for years later came him. After this happened Warren did all he could to hide his mutation from his parents. Made easier by the fact he attended boarding school for most of the year. But one night while home from school in 1996 Warren father walked in on him cutting his wings. His father appalled at his actions, and becoming extremely disgusted by the fact his son was a Mutant. So much so Warren father attempted to send him to a family estate in Colorado where he would be out of the public eye. Stopped only by his wife Kathryn who accepted Warren for who and what he was. Upon realizing his mother still loved him despite his Mutation Warren stopped his self-harm and began trying to embrace his powers. Though due to this fact the relationship between him and his father became practically non-existent. One that only made even worse after the sudden death of his mother, which was in fact orchestrated by his uncle Burtram in preparation to kill his father and become sole heir to Worthington Labs. A fact that wouldn't be discovered until years later.
With the death of his wife Waren Jr. didn't even hesitate to send Warren to Colorado like he proposed upon first discovering his Mutant status. Faced with this prospect Warren considered running away. Only to stop his plans when he was contacted by a professor Charles Xavier who invited Warren to come and learn at his school. A place for Mutants like him. An offer the young Worthington immediately took Charles up on. His father wholeheartedly agreeing. Since he couldn't even stand the sight of his own son. So much so he even gave Professor Xavier legal guardianship over Warren. So if anything happened to him Warren Jr. hands would be entirely clean. A fact that hurt Warren to no end up learning it. But one he would learn to accept. Especially after he got to know his future friends and comrades within the X-Men.
