Brief bio: 
Reggie was born 29 years ago in New Orleans. He was put up for adoption as soon as possible, his parents weren't bad people who purposely wanted to make Reggie's life hell, they just weren't ready for a baby yet were against abortion. Reggie grew up like any other kid in his situation. His friends came and left, leaving him with a few trust issues with new people. He was never adopted, and things just got worse for him when he hit puberty. He woke up in the middle of the night to the smell of smoke. When he looked around to see what it was, he realized his hands were the cause of it. He had absorbed smoke from a bonfire that they had held earlier on in the day and was producing it at an exponential rate. In his efforts to shake the fire off, he actually threw a ball of concentrated fire at the weak wooden walls. They caught alight and forced Reggie to wake just about everyone in the orphanage up with his yells of terror before he sprinted out of the orphanage.

He had no idea what to do, he had heard about the protests against the mutant gene and knew how anti-mutant the owner of the orphanage was. He made a snap decision to make a run for it before anyone could catch him. He ran for hours on end before he could rest. He began town hopping and whatnot, catching cargo trains whenever he could and hitchhiking as much as possible. He got his first stable job at a boxing gym. He met the owner of the gym at some sort of 50s themed diner. The owner explained that he was desperately understaffed and would provide housing within the gym along with pay for Reggie if he worked every day, with reduced hours on the weekend. He accepted and thanked the man as much as he could. He had never been given a chance like this and it was just good to have a roof over his head that wasn't constantly moving. 

Things took another turn for the worst when his powers began acting up again. He had honed his abilities to be controlled and not to just spout off unexpectedly. At least he thought he had. The same problem that he had with the orphanage happened. He lit fire to just about any flammable thing in the gym. He felt awful and fell into a depression that he wouldn't soon be taken out of. He left a note and what little money and belongings he had at the gym before town hopping again. He felt he had to train his powers or this would just keep happening. It was when he was hitchhiking that he would meet a man that would change his life for the better. The man picked him up before explaining sometime down the road that he had attended a school called "Xaviers academy". He explained that the people there helped young mutants train and hone their powers and help them blend into society. Reggie was amazed at the prospect of the idea and headed there as soon as he could, hiding on a trading boat to get over to Britain.

When he got there he was amazed. The people were extremely friendly to him and helped him stop setting things alight in his sleep straight away. He later stayed at the academy after he was able to leave and later became an X-Man.
