For generations the powers of the dragon occasionally popped up, but usually only showing up as inhuman resilience or strength. In the early 50s, Drake's grandfather was the first to awaken the full power of the dragon but so too did he become overcome by its presence. He abandoned the family, took on the role of a villian who battled with the likes of thor and doctor strange. His grandfather left behind his family who never knew of his powers or where he went. So when Drake was born, the family was unsuspecting of anything that may happen. Around 8 Drake began to exhibit the earliest signs of his power. He was stronger than any kid had any right being, though his parents never questioned it much. He never did anything they could inherently refer to as super human. Was he strong, yes, abnormally strong even, but he was a normal eight year old in every other regard. His mother drilled it into him that as a strong boy he had a responsibility to not abuse his strength and to use it to help others. Drake learned just how destructive he could be when he accidently broke a door off its hinges by slamming it. Since that day he was always careful and courteous around others. He did, however, find an outlet in the form of football. Here it was ok to get hurt and his strength was venerated rather than concerning. When he got into high school he was quickly put into the varsity team, even as a freshmen. During these years his strength grew even faster, especially as he continues to work out and exercise. This was the height of his life. He had a girlfriend, tons of friends, and he was on a crash course to get a full ride through college through his football career. Unfortunately the talent scouts weren't the only ones watching him. For the first time in his life Drake's powers became a curse when he got dumped by his long term girlfriend. After 3 years of commitment and love she found another man and left him. Drake was devastated, and as angry as he was he knew better than to let it out. It bottled up inside him and mutated his powers further. That day, Drake learned another aspect of his powers: fire breath. He couldn't stop it, any time he opened his mouth a flame expelled. It burned down the school. Scales started to form on his arms and legs and if matters weren't worse enough, His grandfather showed up. In the midst of the chaos the old man known as 'Dragoon' appeared. He brought Drake's ex to him, telling him of his origins and his powers. He explained that the covetous nature of the dragon was escaping and he should free it, to take her as his and embrace the draconic powers. Drake refused, and so a fight began. Drake was outmatched in every way by his grandfather, but the old man had other ideas for this battle. He harnessed that rage and anger and used it to rapidly mutate his powers further. Flight, further strength and durability all came forth in the battle. The school crumbled and ultimately Drake was defeated. It was fortunate that the x men appeared in time to save the day. Ice man dealt with fires, Shadowcat rescued survivors and the rest of the squad dealt with Dragoon. Seeing he was defeated, the old villain made his escape but not before claiming the fire was him. Even with all his evil intentions in a twisted way he did care about Drake. The X men saw the inhuman abilities Drake displayed in the fight. They offered him a spot in their school, and he graciously accepted. Unfortunately learning was never his strong suit. Martial arts were a no go, any amount of actual schooling failed on him too. Drake was powerful but never seemed to be able to actualize his potential. As such, they dropped him into the Xtras
