Biography

Not much is known about Miguel's life, except that he grew up with Angelo Espinosa in LA, and therefore his childhood and adolescence can be assumed to have been in urban poverty, and probably equally violent. He has a younger sister (by a little less than a year), Alejandra, who he adores, and they have been each other's protectors for as long as either can remember.

Growing up, Miguel and his group of friends (including Angelo) were very close-knit, and Miguel raised no objections when Angelo and Alejandra began dating aged fifteen (only just, in Alejandra's case). However, this was to come to an explosive end when Angelo manifested as a mutant among mutant-haters, which almost led to his death at the gang's hands. Alejandra witnessed this, which Angelo is to date unaware of, and believed he was dead until 2004 when her brother told her otherwise.

Miguel and Angelo saw each other again in October 2004, when Angelo returned to LA to intervene in the gang's sabotage of a local building project. Miguel, while not really softening towards his former friend, did seem at least willing to hear him out, though without explaining his change in attitude.

The next contact between them was when Miguel called Angelo asking for help, sparking off the events of Turf War. As a result, he and his sister are now living in New York.
