[b]Background:[/b] Milo Salvador Ventoro Summers was born as a son of Rachel Summers & an unknown black mutant who owned a casino & weapons manufacturing company. When he was about five his mother was captured by the MRD/Mutant Response Division & his father sent him & his younger sister Rachel to live with his uncle in Atlanta Georgia while he went to join the resistance full time in hopes of tracking down his mother. Growing up without his parents he looked out for Rachel & did whatever it took to provide. He made a connection with a prominent drug dealer selling Casper a substance that allowed mutants to mask their X Gene to pass mutant detection tests/tracking to live in society. He went on to selling Casper as well as other illegal drugs & guns in his early teens making lots of money for himself & his sister while also establishing himself in the black market to always have economic opportunities to fall back on. Eventually after some tight situations where he was nearly arrested for dealing illicit goods shortly after high school he decided on seeking a better path for his life. He ended up safely storing his money in offshore accounts & moved to New York where he went attended the police academy. After graduation he joined the NYPD wanting to change the force from within in a time where discrimination against both mutants & ethnic minorities had deteriorated to similar conditions as the early 80's. He went into the narcotics division working to aid the war on drugs falling into his old habits using his position to make extra income on the side. Eventually he tired of being in a job where he put his own people in chains & left the police. He tried to figure out the next step in his career & learned more about his past. He reconnected with his father Jamal Ventoro who revealed that Rachel had been banished to the Still Zone, a horrific superhuman prison MRD & SHIELD had developed for it's most powerful superhuman prisoners. He learned about his relations to the Summer Family, as well as the actions they committed that contributed to the current crapsack world they resided in including the Dark Phoenix crisis. He went on to meet one of the leaders of the mutant resistance his grandfather Scott Summers who revealed he'd been brought back from the dead by Jean right before she killed herself & the bulk of her mutant supremacy army. He invested his money into camera equipment going into freelance photography. From there he made a name for himself also starting an encypted online blog for the mutant underground & became an investigative journalist for the Daily Bugle hoping to use the power of the press to spread the truth to the masses of the general public. He went to train with his grandfarther for a few months to get a further grip on his powers as well as undergo training before joining the resistance rising up in the ranks & helping mutants along the underground railroad to Canada, where the last existing major mutant safe zones in the world resided.
