Quote: You made me what I am. And then you tried to put me away ‘cause I did what came naturally.

Details: As a child, Nick was sent to Genomex for 6 months of experimental treatment by Adam Kane's one-time lover, Christina. As a result, Nick developed the ability to shoot photon daggers from his hands. Christina recruited him as an assassin for her organization, but on learning that Nick had his own agenda, she had him arrested. She called on Adam to have Mutant X act as security backup during the prison transfer. Nevertheless, Nick’s accomplices Asia and Harris helped him escape. Nick then focused on killing Christina for revenge, drilling his way into the water-filled safe room where she and Adam were hiding. The two fled as soon as Nick’s bomb blew the safe room’s doors open, and Jesse Kilmartin massed to protect them from Nick’s deadly daggers. As Nick stepped into the water for a closer shot, Brennan Mulwray electrocuted him.
