Before he was taken away from our reality, Beak was a student at Xavier's who had a virtually useless mutation and was ridiculed by his peers. Even his current relationship's origin was based on a stupid bet and dare made by his ridiculing classmates. This relationship resulted in an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy, but Beak chose to stand by and even protect his lover and future wife Angel by trying to take the blame when she was accused of the attempted murder of Emma Frost.
Already an insecure adolescent, his psyche and self-esteem would be dealt another blow when he was forced via psychic control into beating the Beast into critical condition with his titanium baseball bat. He would later be put into the school's "Special Class," a division that a bystander could view as being created to hide away the institute's rejects. This class was taught and manipulated by an imposter Magneto posing as the mutant healer Xorn. Beak would become the de facto leader of the Special Class and head up their insurrection after the imposter Magneto forced them to join his Brotherhood during his attempt to overturn the Earth's magnetic poles. Beak was unhinged from time in order to gain experience from every harsh lesson he would learn with the Exiles in order to prepare him for a future event where several worlds will hang in the balance. As a result of his unhinging, he is unable to interact with beings from his home timeline and his family now thinks he has run away. Only by serving with the Exiles can he win them back.
