| - Laurence Hague was born in Essex, England. Growing up, Laurence was often times horribly teased and picked on by his older brother by six years, Martin. His father, Donovan, passed away when he was four years old, and Laurence doesn't remember much about him. While his mother, Emily, tried to make things right for her two boys, times were difficult, and Martin took out a lot of his anger out on his younger brother. When Laurence entered middle school, things did not get better for him. His overall appearance made multiple students jokingly call him "Toad", an epithet that would stick with him for the rest of his life. However, there was one thing that he liked about school, and that was his friend, Sean Wright. The two had grown up together and had been friends for quite some time.

| - Laurence Hague was born in Essex, England. Growing up, Laurence was often times horribly teased and picked on by his older brother by six years, Martin. His father, Donovan, passed away when he was four years old, and Laurence doesn't remember much about him. While his mother, Emily, tried to make things right for her two boys, times were difficult, and Martin took out a lot of his anger out on his younger brother. When Laurence entered middle school, things did not get better for him. His overall appearance made multiple students jokingly call him "Toad", an epithet that would stick with him for the rest of his life. However, there was one thing that he liked about school, and that was his friend, Sean Wright. The two had grown up together and had been friends for quite some time. When Laurence was fifteen, his mutation developed and he realized that he had truly become what his fellow classmates had called him, a Toad. His mother was accepting of him, but his stepfather, Glenn Colt, was not as welcoming of a mutant into the family. Sean, who had also developed mutant powers, tried to comfort his friend and tell him that everything was going to be alright. It was around this time, that Sean's parents decided that it would be better for their son to go to a school that was proper for his mutation. After looking at a number of different places, they settled on Massachusetts Academy. Despite asking his parents, Laurence was unable to go as well, his stepfather insisting that he wasn't going to waste money on a son that he didn't really care about. Laurence went to the Wrights and convinced them to speak to his parents. The conversation worked and Laurence was sent to America, to Massachusetts Academy as well.
