Hudson King (Earth-6637)

Hudson King is an Australian mutant who was born with metallic eyes and premature white hair. Initially he thought this was his only mutation, but he became known as Magnegate when he discovered he could nullify Magneto's metal manipulation and magnetic powers. He is also skilled in hand to hand combat as well as using boomerangs.

Early life
Hudson King was born in Perth, Australia. Born on February 3, 1988, Hudson's parents were business executives for an Australian mining corporation. They protected him from a young age.

Because he was born with metallic eyes, Hudson had to wear sunglasses in public and at school. His hair also went prematurely white, so he often dyed it black. At the age of ten, he was fighting a school bully and his sunglasses were knocked off. When the other kids saw his eyes were metallic, they panicked because he was a mutant. Hudson's parents were killed in an anti mutant riot because they were "mutie lovers."

Following this, Hudson fled Perth on his own. He eventually found himself in Aboriginal territory among the Noongar tribes and was accepted among them. He learned the Noongar language and also learned the lore of the people, as well as how to hunt. The Noongar elders taught him how to fight and hunt. He learned how to use a boomerang and hunt animals such as wallabies and grey kangaroos.

When Hudson was fourteen, he left the Aboriginals when Charles Xavier had found him by using Cerebro. Following this, he came to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in North Salem, New York.
