Robert Drake

Storyline
Robert was born to Louis Drake and Madeline Drake. He discovered his mutants abilities at a young age but kept them a secret.

In high school, a school bully was harassing Bobby. He panicked and encased the bully in ice in front of everyone. The people of his town organized a mob and broke into the Drakes' home. The police arrived on the scene and took Bobby in custody to keep him safe.

The X-Men heard of the event, Professor X sent Jean to recruit Bobby. Yet, Bobby turned her down. Jean kept discussing the matter until the mob caught up with them. Surrounded, Jean used her telepathy to erase the people's memory and send them away. Bobby, impressed and grateful, enrolled into the Institute.
