Warren Worthington III (Earth-21399)

Early Life
Warren Kenneth Worthington III is the heir to the immense Worthington family fortune. The family company, Worthington & Sons, LLC., supplies automobile, watercraft and aircraft parts for larger companies, such as General Motors, Boeing and Lockheed-Martin.

Warren's mutation, a pair of wings growing out of his shoulder blades, first became visible around the age of twelve. For years, Warren kept his wings out of sight, fearing the potential reactions by his family, who were decidedly anti-mutant rights.

The Reveal
Warren's mutation was discovered during a routine medical checkup, when his parents barged in on Warren in the bathroom, attempting to sever his own wings. They each had differing reactions: his mother, Kathryn, was greatly moved and wanted her son to be proud of the wings. His father, Warren Junior, hated them, believing they made his son a freak. The two argued constantly over what to do with Warren until Kathryn ultimately filed for divorce. The papers made no mention of Warren's mutation.

The court ruled that Warren was to be held in the custody of his father. However, Junior wanted nothing to do with his son and instead sent him away to a boarding school in the United Kingdom, where Warren saved a number of lives after a fire broke out in the dorms by flying them out of their windows to safety. Because he was wearing a long white nightshirt and hadn't cut his hair in months, he was mistaken by onlookers for an angel from Heaven, particularly when he flew off and onlookers saw him surrounded by the halo of the full moon.

When Warren's father heard of the incident, he immediately flew off to England to pick up his son and fly him back home, angered that the public viewed his son as a divine savior rather than the freak he thought Warren to be.

The Xavier Institute
At some point, Professor Charles Xavier approached Junior with the offer to enroll Warren into his Institute, backed up by Kathryn and Warren's grandfather, Warren Senior. Junior, exhausted with trying to keep Warren under his control, willingly gave up custody of his son to Kathryn, who enrolled Warren into the Institute. Warren Senior even funneled some of his company's money into the Institute in a show of solidarity.
