History
How did you discover your powers:
It happened during Harry's middle school dance. The theme was 70s disco and he had found the perfect high collard white shirt with waist high pants. No one was actually dancing together, though there were a select few (him included) that were boogying on the dance floor. "Dancing Queen" by ABBA came on and he immediately rushed towards the center of the room. The sound was resonating throughout the room and he could feel its energy. He could really feel it. His powers began to kick in and there were glimmering lights all across the dance floor. Everyone wrote it off as a simple AV nerd magic, but he knew he was the cause of this. It didn't matter however, it caused more people to dance and brought excitement to a dull event. Harry had hid his abilities to himself, fear of what his family might think. That same night he learned of his other mutation, when he had a little heart to heart with himself, the duplicate fading back into him as he heard a knock on the door asking him who he was talking to.
General History:
Harold Edward Simmons was the middle child of his family. Unlike his sister he fought for attention in his parents eyes. He didn't mind the quiet, but he wanted to feel just as loved and cared for as his Older brother and younger brother. They were both geniuses to their own rights. One was a renowned hockey player while the other was a literal genius. Some form of rain man scenario. He knew that their talents deserved praise, but he felt his did just as well!. After enough convincing was made his parents had purchased him an acoustic guitar. Not the instrument he wanted but he accepted it none the less. Harry quickly learned to pluck its string and sing beautiful songs, often times posting them onto YouTube to get more validation.
As his parents began to notice his talents a bit more, Harry asked them for a Violin. He believed that his talents could be spread to more classical arts, and allow him to soar on his YouTube charts. There was an incident one night while practicing his Violin. He was very into the music and could feel every vibration the violin was sending out now coursing through him. Lights began to dazzle and gleam just as they had done many times before, this time however his focus was unlike ever before and the lights began to concentrate and coalesce into one large light where the bow met the strings. The light shot out a beam and burned a whole into his bookshelf. Harry quickly covered it up and discarded the burned books with new ones so that no one would know.
It wasn't until on day that his twin sister had fallen off of her bike. He, and his family, now knew that she was a mutant. Panic ran through him as his heart sank and he feared for her and himself now. That panic was quickly placated as his parents showed nothing but concern and worry for their daughter and had said they would send her to Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Harry stepped forward and then admitted that he too was a mutant, showing a display of his power and then going to hold his sisters hand in unison so that she knew she wasnt alone in this.
Harry learned to hone his powers at the school, finding ways to see his sister via echolocation. Screaming, singing, humming, or even the tapping of his shoes allowed the sound waves to travel and go against objects. Her invisibility was not invulnerability to others powers. They taught him how to best create and hold his lasers, how to wield his power so that he was in control, and they showed him how to fight, in more ways than one. When the time came to Join the X-men he simply told them "I'm sorry but I dont worry all black jumpsuits made of...what can only assume is a non breathable fabric." In truth his sister hadnt joined and he was afraid to go at it alone.
She parted ways to get a job, become a bartender, and live her own life. Harry thought he should do the same. He began his musical career, playing at bars, restaurants, and any place that'd have him. He always made sure to play indoors and have 'equipment' so that onlookers would believe the lights were mechanical not mutant. As he traveled he met the love of his life, spent 9 wonderful years with her. She was a mutant with a visible mutation and after a mutant attack near Frost Headquarters killed at police officer, tensions ran high and he feared the worst. During one of his shows a purifier showed up and killed his girlfriend as he yelled "Die Mutie Scum". Those words burned into his mind and it brought him to a sudden realization, he needed to join thr battle whether he wanted to or not.
