(Marcus Ravenous was born into a very dark history. His family tree could proudly trace it's roots back to Ivan the terrible. It included Nazis, high ranking communist, and Mafia members. His father was a cruel, power hungry man, and his mother an extremely vain supermodle. It had even been rumored that Marcus was actually a child of one of the house holds servants as his mother would never let something like a pregnancy ruin her figure. From the very beginning Marcus had been taught to believe that power was the most important thing in the world, usually at the end of his father's fist. It was on Marcus's 13th birthday that he first discovered he was a mutant. While in the middle of one of his father's usual lessons the boy blow a hole through his father's chest. The last words Marcus's father said to him as he was dieing where, "It's about time you started showing some backbone." Marcus then left the family spending a year in isolation learning how to control his new powers. It was during this time that he learned he could not only create the strange energy, but also control it. This then lead to the discovery of his limited telekintic ability which he also began to develop. After his intense training Marcus used his father's contacts to find the Russian branch of the Hand organization. Impressed with Marcus's fighting skills and mutant abilities they choose to induct him as one of the youngest outside members to ever join their ranks. For two years Marcus developed his skills and reputation. He developed his powers to the point of being able to create detailed full body impersonations out of his energy blast, and honed his telekintics to be able to lift himself, and any number of other objects up to one hundred pounds. However the boy's rash and cocky additued soon worn thin with the Hand. They decided to terminate his employ by blowing up his apartment with him still in it. Marcus however survived the attack with only a cut over his right eye due to a latent ability to make himself incorporeal. With the Hand thinking Marcus dead he fled to America adopting the name Specter to reflect his new decided statues, and swearing revenge on his would be killers. For one year he developed his new talent until he was able to remain in his incorporeal state almost permanently. Believing himself ready to take on the Hand Specter decided to test his skills against the strongest opponents he could find, the X-men. Infiltrating their mansion home Specter went on a rampage, however never developing any mental defenses he quickly found himself out matched by the groups mentor Professor X. Upon entering the boy's mind Charles saw the torment of the child's life and decided to give him a second chance to develop his skills for helping others. Placing a mental block in Specter's mind so he would forget who he was the professor sent the boy to his sister school for training and observation.)
