Brief History: He had a really long and in-depth history, but I decided to rewrite it with only the bare essentials. Yay!Gregory Rutherford had a relatively normal upbringing. There isn't much more about it that is relevant to you. He was born, had a pretty average childhood, and didn't raise too much trouble. His father was in the Marines, an information technology specialist to be exact. It wasn't odd to find the family moving from place to place every year or so, but after his father retired from active duty the family settled down on the mainland of Charleston, South Carolina.
School wasn't hard for Gregory, and he finished twenty-ninth out of his class of one hundred and thirteen in high school. By that time in life there were no doubts about what he was doing with his life. Joining the Marines seemed like the only option, after all not only his father, but his grandfather and great-grandfather had enlisted in the branch of the armer services. Enrolling immediately after school he went off to Paris Island for basic training, and spent the next three years not seeing much action, but that was to change. After September eleventh, he was with one of the first squads sent over to Afghanistan. Three tours were served- one lasting ten months, the second for nine months, and the third for eight.
After returning back home, he finished out the rest of his contract in reserves. The fact that he had served three tours and survived to tell about it might have been enough for some people, but not Gregory Rutherford. The details behind how he became with a private security sector in Afghanistan are still not explicitly known, but it wasn't long before he had left the country once more. As with much of his life, the details aren't readily available as to what his job entitled, but it should be noted that it was not the most kosher of jobs. As time went on, the public was beginning to realize quite a few problems with the company he worked for - as well as other's like it - but thankfully he was able to get out before things started biting people in the ass.
The reason for leaving that position was that he was offered a job in Central American. The term best used for this job is simple- mercenary. It wasn't called such in polite conversation, but then again, not many of the people he associated with by now were very nice. While his still insanely patriotic military family may not have approved of these choices, he had guns, action and the fast-paced life he loved laid out in front of him. The fact that he pretty much got to play by his own rules - within reason, of course - was just an added benefit.
The next gig offered to him paid even more than the last, and Gregory stopped by Charleston to visit his by now retired parents at the end of last summer. He soon left for Belize, but the job didn't pan out. Returning back not too long after, he became the interest of certain local oil company. It would seem there there was a bit of a problem on the Isle of Palms, not far from his own 'permanent' place of residence. Powers. People had powers, like those from some sort of comic book, and they were becoming a problem. While it did take a bit of time to gain the trust of the higher ups, it wasn't long before he realized just how big this problems was. Something had to be done about this.
Unbeknown to himself, he also has powers of his own and hasn't a clue at this moment. This could be problematic, the entire anti-mutant that has powers of his own. As well as interesting to see play out.
Brief Description of Power Capabilities:In short- he can negate the powers of others while in their general proximity (and eventually from further away lengths), as well as implant, erase and overall manipulate the memories of others. In following suit with his ability to manipulate upper brain functions, he can also knock people unconscious by touching them. Of course there is always room for... improvement.
