The mutant teleporter Jeffrey Garrett and his family were the prisoners of Elias Bogan at his lodge in Alaska. When Bogan had Jeffrey’s family killed, the young boy escaped and teleported Bogan’s associates to a glacier, which resulted in them freezing to themselves to death.

Wanted for murder, Jeffrey Garrett sought sanctuary and refuge at the Xavier Institute and was looked after by the Headmistress Emma Frost. Bogan followed Garrett to the school and used him to take him, his schoolmates, Emma Frost, Sage and Bishop as hostages. Jeffrey managed to save himself and his newfound friends Gloom, Zach, Rubber Maid, Silicon and Tantra by teleporting them away from the cabin. After this incident, Garrett and the other students somehow lost all thier memories of the event.

Jeffrey was present when a dilutional Xorn attacked the school after as possing as the X-Men's arch nemesis Magneato. Danielle Moonstar tried to get Jeffrey to teleport out of the school, but instead of following orders he returned to his room to retrieve a picture of his deceased family to rememeber. The school blew up just as Jeffrey began to teleport away, which ultimately killed him but left his spirit behind.

Believing Xavier's is till not to be safe, Jeffrey briefly terrorized the new students at Xavier's in an attempt to get them to leave the school. Ultimately Jeffrey's "haunting" was stopped by the New Mutants, Surge, Wind Dancer, Wallflower, Elixir, Prodigy, and Icarus with the help of Hellion solve the case. Jeffrey was then placed in Karma's lower class. Because Jeffrey is technically dead he can never grow up, but he can mature and perhaps one day he can join a squad someday. Though this changed after After the M-Day, Jeffrey lost his powers and now is completely dead.
