X-Man

Origin

should be built into X-Man.
 
When Nate was in his teens, he managed to escape from his test tube, with some help from Scott Summers, and no memory of his origin. Nate was soon found by a group of mutant rebels, who were disguised as a theater troupe so that they could secretly help humans. The leader of this team was Forge, who Nate viewed as a father figure. Shortly after joining the rebel group, Nate grew disillusioned with life and his role in it. Nate wanted to know what his limits were, but was warned not to use his powers by Forge, who was worried that Apocalypse might take notice if he used his powers often. Nate was starting to rebel more and more, which resulted in two more members for the group of rebels: Teresa, a mutant with sonic powers, and the mysterious Essex, who claimed to have worked in Apocalypse's factories and now wanted to stop his former master.
 
Essex kept urging Nate to use his powers more and more, secretly fueling his rebellious feelings. As Forge had feared, Nate's power eventually attracted Apocalypse's pet telepath, the Shadow King. The Shadow King told Apocalypse of Nate, who then sent his personal assassins to either capture or kill Nate. Nate's group of friends managed to beat them after a few deaths on both sides. After the battle, Forge realized that Essex wasn't  to be trusted, and confronted him. Essex killed Forge, then revealed that he was actually Mister Sinister in disguise, and told Nate of his origin. Sinister tried to convince Nate to go fight Apocalypse, but Nate attacked Mister Sinister and mortally wounded him. 
 

Nate wanted to honour his foster father's final words, which were to find Magneto. Using his telepathic powers, Nate found Magneto- who was being tortured by Apocalypse. Nate then used his telekinetic powers to fly to Apocalypse's palace, just after saying goodbye to his lover, Teresa. Just as Nate arrived at Apocalypse's palace, he ran into Scott Summers and Jean Grey, his genetic parents, who were freeing prisoners. They both asked Nate to stay and help him, but Nate replied that he had to stop Apocalypse and would possibly catch up with them later. Before leaving them, Nate noticed that he and Jean both had a both between them. Nate managed to free Magneto, but was soon attacked by Apocalypse's son, Holocaust. Whilst this fight was going on, the X-Men were attempting to use the M'Kraan Crystal to go to the regular reality (Earth-616). Apocalypse had also a shard of the crystal, and was planning to use it to travel to different realities so that he could team up with his counterparts. Nate quickly stole the shard, then drove a piece of the M'Kraan Crystal into Holocaust's chest. Unexpectedly it brought them to the mainstream reality.

Enter Earth-616

Upon entering Earth-616, Nate randomly landed in Switzerland. Nate thought he was still in the Age of Apocalypse, and was so distracted that he was hit by a truck. Nate saw a mother with some babies, and immediately felt reminded of Jean Grey. Nate also accidentally forced a man to subconsciously help him when he mistook the man for Forge. When the man (named Sven) took Nate to his home, Nate thought of Jean Grey again. A moment later, Nate was being covered with a blanket by Jean Grey's clone, Madelyne Pryor. Madelyne helped Nate adjust to the new environment of a world not ruled by Apocalypse. Although she didn't admit it, Madelyne was also amnesiac and in need of help.
 

Another escapee from the Age of Apocalypse, named Sugarman, had arrived in Earth-616 20 years ago. Sugarman ordered his henchman Rex to bring him Nate. Rex tracked down Sven in a bar and questioned him about Nate, before killing him. Nate managed to defeat Rex in a battle, although shortly afterwards he felt drained of energy. Nate and Maddie were forced to flee to Paris. Madelyne admitted to Nate shortly afterwards that she could remember being hurt by the X-Men, although she couldn't remember how. Unfortunately, the immortal mutant Selene lured Madelyne away from Nate, recognizing the potential for power and darkness.
 
With Maddie gone, Nate tried to adapt to his new life. He got a job on a boat and attempted to live like a normal person. But for unknown reasons, he kept having fits of weakness, alternating with bouts of hunger and thirst. One night, Nate realized that something was wrong with him, but before he could work it out, he was attacked by Rex once more. Nate was almost burning himself out with his powers when he was saved by another Age of Apocalypse escapee- Dark Beast. Dark Beast wanted Nate for himself, just as Sugarman did. Dark Beast mentioned that Mister Sinister had not built Nate "to last"and offered a way around that. However, Nate didn't care, and simply mindblasted Dark Beast before leaving.    
 
Nate was unnerved by what Dark Beast had said, so he tried to find the X-Men and get their help. At the same time, Professor X was alerted to his presence by Blaquesmith, who had been studying Nate's readings ever since he dropped to Earth. Professor X also noticed that Nate could somehow shield himself from Cerebro, something which shouldn't be possible. Professor X traveled to the astral plane to find X-Man, and successfully found him. Unfortunately, Nate's memories of Sinister's manipulations still fresh in his mind kept him from trusting anyone trying to "help" him with his powers. What's more, as Magneto was the leader of the X-Men in Nate's reality, he distrusted Professor X even more. Nate lashed out at Professor X, forcing the Professor to fake his death so that he wouldn't be attacked anymore. 
 

Nate had a random encounter with Rogue, who was on a leave of absence from the X-Men at the time. As she was one of the leaders of the X-Men and Magneto's wife in Nate's reality, he trusted her, and helped her defeat the X-Cutioner. Rogue was surprised to find that Nate didn't trust Professor X, so brought him to Muir Island for examination. Nate's distrusting nature led to a short fight with Excalibur, who thought he was an intruder. After this matter was cleared up, Moira MacTaggert examined Nate. Moira discovered that Nate's powers would burn out and kill him when he was 21 at the latest. Whilst Moira was learning this, Nate took a look around the Muir Island complex and was reminded of the pens in the Age of Apocalypse, as Muir Island was also used to prison mutants. Nate mindscanned Moira and learned of her connection to Xavier before lashing out again. Moira and the members of Excalibur managed to convince him they were on his side by letting him mindscan them. Even so, Nate was still confused, and departed.
 
Nate then returned to Paris, intending to look for Madelyne. Whilst he was looking, he heard a telepathic call to himself. Nate followed it and found a young girl named Threnody, who was running from the Marauders. She used to be Mister Sinister's prisoner, before he made her his assistant. Threnody had noticed Nate's powerful energy signature and tried to hide it from Sinister. Once Nate learned that the Marauders worked for Sinister, he took them out with ease then left with Threnody in search of Maddie. 
 

Whilst this was happening, Professor X had called up a meeting with Cable and Blaquesmith, to discuss what they should do about Nate. One point brought up was the similarity between Nate and Cable's clone, Stryfe. Nate had some differences to Cable though, as he didn't have the techno-organic virus which kept Cable's telekinetic powers in check. Blaquesmith decided that Nate was too powerful to exist in this reality and sent Cable to destroy him, before mindwiping everyone so that they didn't know what he was doing. Cable tracked down Nate in Paris and followed him to the Swiss Alps. All of a sudden, Cable's techno-organic virus went crazy, making Cable start to experience flashes of Nate's memories and vice-versa. Nate frantically cried out "Stop" - and then the wind, snow, and birds all stopped. The weakened Nate and Threnody went into a nearby cottage, as Nate started to wonder why he had been attracted to Switzerland in the first place. The owner of the cottage suddenly arrived- it was Cable. Nate immediately attacked him, believing that Cable was responsible for all his pain. In the middle of the fight, Cable and Nate were interrupted by Exodus, who wanted Nate's powers for himself. Working together, Cable and Nate managed to beat Exodus, but by now Nate was sick of this reality, as everyone wanted him for whatever reason. Blaquesmith then attempted to attack Nate, sending Nate into a rage that overloaded his powers and knocked him out. Cable then healed him, seeing something of himself in Nate.     
 
When Nate woke up, he was in a ski-lodge with Threnody. Nate was still suspicious of Threnody, and mindscanned her. Nate realized that both he and Threnody had something in common: they were both victims of Mister Sinister, and their powers. After Nate attempted to take away one of the neuro locks Mister Sinister had put on Threnody to control her power, the two of them were thrown out of the cabin.

Onslaught

Nate and Threnody took a break in the Mediterranean, which both of them enjoyed. Unknown to them, the mysterious villain Onslaught wanted Nate for his plans, and sent Holocaust after Nate. Holocaust attacked Nate, not caring about any harm he caused to innocents. Holocaust was also aware that Nate's powers could kill him, and told him that Onslaught could help him with this. Nate refused, so Holocaust kidnapped Threnody. Nate pretended to surrender, before activating Threnody's "death charge" which was enough to send Holocaust reeling. Holocaust then tried to capture Nate once more, but Nate was prepared and defeated Holocaust. Before he ran away, Holocaust told Nate that Onslaught would be coming for him. Nate realised that he might need help against this mysterious being, and so he went to contact the Avengers, not wanting the X-Men's help.

When Nate had fought Professor X on the astral plane earlier, he managed to tear the Professor's astral form from his body giving the psionic monster called Onslaught a chance to take over his body. This chance event set Onslaught loose into our world. Nate evaded  capture by the Earth-616 Mister Sinister due to his unwittingly helping hand in freeing Onslaught. Before Sinister could do anything to Nate he was taken by Onslaught whose intention was to use Nate for his powers.  Onslaught was eventually beaten in a world scale coordinated event by earth's mightiest heroes. Unfortunately many seemingly perished in the battle that ensued until their unlikely "resurrection" by the hands of  Franklin Richards, who created a pocket dimension for them to live in. After the battle with Onslaught  Nate was distraught.  It appeared to Nate that everyone he met in this new world had used him for his powers.
 
While Nate had been part of the Onslaught crisis, Threnody had been seized by Mister Sinister's Marauders. Unfortunately, following this, she had been kidnapped by the Abomination, aka Emil Blonsky. It turned out that Threnody and Abomination had some past history together. Before Threnody had met Mister Sinister, she had been taken in by Abomination and his group of outsiders, but had accidentally killed some with her powers. Nate tracked down Threnody and saved her from Abomination, who warned him to be careful when around her.

While Nate and Threnody were spending a day together in Central Park, they ran into a phony clairvoyant whilst Nate showed off with his telepathic powers. The crowds loved Nate's act and Threnody decided that this could be a good business opportunity. Nate and Threnody also started dating, and secured an apartment for the two of them. Nate was still suspicious of her though, and tried reading her mind to see if she was still working for Sinister. To his surprise, Threnody herself didn't know for sure. 
 
Unexpectedly, Nate was transported back to the Age of Apocalypse, although only for a few seconds. Nate found out that Sugar Man was the reason he had been transported, as Sugar Man wanted to use Nate's energies to go back to the Age of Apocalypse. Once there, Sugar Man planned to take a certain virus and use it to take over the world. Nate accidentally activated the trap, and was transported to the Age of Apocalypse with Sugar Man. There, he met younger versions of Magneto and Forge, who had been warned of Sugar Man's plans by a future version of Nate. Magneto, Forge and Nate managed to defeat Sugar Man, but afterwards Nate wanted to stay, to prevent the worst horror from occurring in that timeline. Forge on the other hand, wanted Nate to go back to Earth-616 so that Nate could survive and have a good life. In the end, Forge tricked Nate into powering up the portal and going back to Earth-616.

Apocalyptic Reunion

When he discovered of the few other people from Earth-295, like himself that had crossed over, he went after them, mainly Dark Beast and the Sugar Man. He had a few more bad run-ins with people this caused his general mistrust of people to grow even greater than before. Nate did all he could to avoid contact with anyone involved with the X-Men.

The Red Queen

But after a while Nate began to trust the people in this new world and even managed to bond with a few of them including the real Jean Grey and Cyclops and his alternate brother Cable. After a while he encountered the Goblin Queen again, when a huge telepathic wave disabled all active telepaths. He traveled with her for a while seeing that he was dependent on her much more that he was when he came to the new world. Then he found

Earth-998 (Red Queen)

out that the Madelyne he was with was not even Madelyne Pryor. The person he was with was an alternate version of an evil Queen, Jean Grey that was the ruler of another dimension. She went to different worlds trying to find Nate Grey's. She saw them as the ultimate Telekinetic weapon. She took Nate back to her own dimension where he escaped and found another Nate Grey that was able to hide from the Queen as a shaman. He used his powers to hide. This stunned our Nate since the other Nate was just like him, his powers where meant to drain him and kill him. But this Nate had a genetic brand that stopped his powers from killing him, a gift of the evil Queen that lured him to her. Together they tried to fight the Queen but in the end they switched traits. The other Nate was killed by the Queen and the Nate from Earth-616 got the genetic brand that stopped his powers from killing him. No longer having to hold back he lashed out and killed the evil Queen.

Shaman

Nate returned to our world and became a shaman and sought to bring peace to the world man and mutant. Nate was called to save the world from an almost unbeatable threat. An alien being called Harvest who wanted the earth's energies. Nate found a way to dissolve himself along with Harvest into energy that merged with every person on the planet, just in case more of Harvest's people came to Earth. Since Nate's powers where seen as impure by the aliens, they left the Earth alone. Nate became one with everybody on Earth and he lost his own body. Nate became psychic energy and died.

Alternate Realities

Earth-Utopia

In this world mutants and humans have agreed to coexist with one another. Professor X expanded his grounds to every police officer on US, who were lead by Jean Gray and Scott Summers. While Xavier’s dream flourished the other sub-humans were not so content. During an attack on the new police officers who were composed of the ex X-Men and Prime Sentinels, Wolverine received a major brain injury and became a super-terrorist. Storm reformed the X-Men with Pyschedelia, David Chan, A.I Sarah (a prime sentinel) and X-Man, Nate Gray.

Earth-998

The reality the Red Queen conquered. In this world Nate was genetic failure and his powers fluctuated and eventually switched places with the real Nate, also giving him the genetic brand that prevented him from burning away. He was killed by the Red Queen when she discovered it was not the real Nate she was looking for.

When Professor X attacked the world, Sinister lost track of the children and the next time he found them they were in a facility held by a benevolent Apocalypse from Sinister evil ways. He sent both Gambit and Bloodstorm to recover the children, upon returning Sinister said he didn’t need the girl and was about to kill her when Gambit fought him and using his new vampiric nature won and took the girl who he named Raven. Sinister accelerated the boy's growth and dubbed him X-Man, whom he later used as a weapon against his foes.

Earth-9997
