Gabriel Summers

Storyline
Vulcan is the son of Major Christopher Summers, a pilot in the US Air Force and his wife Katherine. One day, the family was flying home in Christopher’s private plane when a scout ship from the Shi’ar Empire shot the plane. The pregnant Katherine pushed both of her children out the door with the only parachute. The plane crashed but unknowingly to the boys their parents had been teleported to the shi’ar ship before it exploded.

On the Shi’ar ship, Christopher tried to escape to help his wife but she was killed in retaliation. The Shi’ar removed the unborn child from the woman’s dead body and placed him in an incubation chamber which accelerated his growth, aging him to a teenager. Sent to earth to become a slave, he escaped and was found by Moira MacTaggert. He had no memory of who he was or where he came from. He claimed his name was Gabriel and chose the codename Kid Vulcan from a roman mythology book.

When he was brought to Xavier in the hopes of recovering his memory, Charles recognised the mental imprint as being related to Scott and Alex. The brothers knew their mother had been pregnant, but the boy that stood in front of them was older than them, they were confused but couldn’t deny the family resemblance. Soon after, a Shi’ar strike force was dispatched to bring back the runaway slave. Reading their minds, Jean learned of the processus of accelerated-growth and the death of their mother. The mystery resolved, The X-Men dealt with the aliens.
