Biography
Xander was born in Oklahoma, the oldest of four children, the rest of which were girls. His parents are fairly affluent and their family was comfortable. Xander was the only super in his family, and he had to learn from a young age to control his emotions, particularly his temper, in order to keep his elemental abilities in check. He grew up close to his sisters, particularly Linda, the youngest, who was disabled and needed a cane to walk. He is fiercely protective of her and he has several incident reports in his high school record where he got into physical altercations in defense of her from bullies. He graduated as captain of the baseball team and he earned a scholarship to university for the sport. However, he was not the academic type and he was unhappy in college, so he dropped out in his second year to join a professional team in California. He moved there and started a career as an athlete. Meanwhile, the NSA has heard about his hidden abilities and sought him out. Xander is still in his early twenties at this point and baseball hadn’t really worked out for him professionally, so he was thrilled to accept a position as a superhero. He went through training, commissioned a suit, and took the name Thornblade and began his super career and joined the S-men.
