One night, Xavier’s father, Robert, was in the wrong convenience store at the wrong time. An armed robbery went bad, and Robert Delano was killed. The medical examiners report indicated that the cause of death was high intensity third degree burns to the upper torso. The cause of these burns was unknown. The perpetrator was never brought to justice.</p><p></p><p>A pall fell over the Delano family. Xavier’s mother, Cassie, was forced to withdraw from her studies at UCLA. She ended up working two jobs to put Xavier through school. They were forced to move into a one bedroom apartment – Cassie slept on the couch in the lounge/dining/kitchen room. Xavier studied hard to prove to his mother that her work was neither unappreciated or in vain.</p><p></p><p>Xavier’s one indulgence was comic books. He had been collecting them since before he could read. Robert had read them to him as bedtime stories, tales of Spiderman and Superman and Captain America. After Robert’s death, Xavier lost interest in Superman and Spiderman. He began to read Batman and The Punisher. As time wore on, a determination and passion for Justice grew within Xavier.</p><p></p><p>He finished High School a year early. He attended UCLA as his mother had before him, studying Criminology and Law. Immediately upon graduation he applied to and entered the LAPD. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the youngest officers to make the rank of Detective. After serving as a detective for three years, he applied to and was accepted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Training academy at the US Marine Corps base at Quantico, Virginia. As one of the most successful graduates of his class, he was assigned to the Federal Plaza office in New York as a Field Agent.</p><p></p><p>While studying at Quantico, Xavier’s mother disappeared when the cruise ship she was on went missing without a trace in the South Pacific. It had been her first holiday in twelve years.</p><p></p><p>After a couple of months of living in New York, Xavier started to notice some very strange things he could not explain. He started asking questions, reading old reports that lay dormant in filing cabinets in basements, and performing investigations that were not strictly part of the F.B.I.’s jurisdiction. His investigations caught the attention of a certain Agency that goes by many names.</p><p></p><p>As of last week, Xavier dresses only in attire specially sanctioned by MIB Special Services. He conforms to an identity given to him, eats where he’s told to, lives where he’s told to, gets approval for any expenditure over a hundred dollars. He has no identifying marks of any kind. He does not stand out in any way.
