(This Character Belongs to Nhlott)
History
Kal grew up in The Bronx with his father Malcolm Knox. While he was growing up, Malcolm wouldn't speak much about his mother, but often told him that he was very much in love with her when she left him. He always told him of how she had the most alluring yellow eyes. When Kal would ask more about what she looked like, he would say, "It depends how she was feeling that day" and refuse to speak further on it.
Despite Malcolm's best efforts to bring Kal up as a good kid, Kal was always in toruble for one thing or another. He would often steal, cheat on tests in school, and spy on and blackmail many of his classmates, making him a natural at extortion. however, he wasn't all bad. Growing up, he had an infallable hero complex, and would often get beat up defending weaker classmates. On one such an occasion, he was expelled from school, and instead of finding a new one, went to work as an intern for his father, being an analyst for SHIELD's genetic engineering program.
One day while snooping around where he shouldn't have, Kal damaged a great deal of equipment, nearly causing his father to be fired. In an attempt to make ammends, Kal agreed to be a test subject for their latest project. They were studying Kree technology they had found in an invasion attempt, and trying to re-create the proccess by which they perform impressive feats of genetic engineering and splicing.
As per his agreement, Kal alloed himself to be used as a test subject for combining Shi'Ar (A humanoid alien race that descented from birds rather than primates.) and human DNA, under the impression that they would be able to easily reverse it. The process was a success, and the DNA combined perfectly with Kal's. However, once they tried to remove the DNA, his mutant gene went active, and his mutant healing factor refused the removal of the genes from his DNA. In lieu of their failure, and due to the fact that Kal had signed the release forms, SHIELD promptly fired Malcolm and refused them entry into any SHIELD facility.
Since Kal had signed all the legal paperwork, he could take no legal action. By his father suggestion, he came to the Xavier Institute, hoping to find the acceptance as wel as eucation he was seeking, soon taking on the codename Ospery.
