History

Jonas Graymalkin was born in the late 18th century. At the age of sixteen, he realized he was gay. Meeting another boy in his family's barn one day, he was discovered by his father, a religious man, who believed his son to be an abomination, a spawn of the devil. Beating Jonas nearly to death, his father then sought to bury him in the nearby woods. This burial triggered his mutant powers, allowing him to survive some 200 years underground before being unearthed in the modern era.

Jonas rose from the remains of the Xavier Institute following the last Sentinel attack that destroyed the school, but also allowed Jonas to emerge from his would-be grave. There, he observed the Cyclops impostor, Ronald Pierce, training the Young X-Men. Through the "cypher," Jonas was told to kill Pierce so he attempted to, meeting Dust and Magma prior to Pierce's escape. After the final battle with Pierce, Jonas was recruited into the Young X-men team.

With surprising ease, he adjusted to the 21st century well. However, he was still weary of his "identity" as a gay man to the point where he would not let Emma Frost read his mind for fear of how she would judge.

After performing a genetic test, Beast discovered that Graymalkin was an ancestor of Professor Charles Xavier, hence how his last name is the street that the Xavier Institute was built on. Beast analyzed the boy's powers but to his ignorance, couldn't determine what discrimination could have doomed him to being buried alive if his powers emerged while buried.

Anole comforted him stating that it wasn't his fault nor his father's because of the lack of tolerance 200 years ago. He comforted his fellow gay man, stating that it would be okay after Jonas told him his life story.
