| Forge came to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters following an attempt to blow up his high school in response to prolonged bullying left him with an artificial leg and hand. He quickly found himself a 'tribe' at the school, identifying himself as a mutant before anything else and using his power of instinctive mechanical hypercognition - or the ability to create any device he understood the working of - to assist his classmates and the X-Men on many occasions. His sympathy for Magneto ended following an abduction and the forced creation of the Neutralizer and after his time marooned in another dimension which aged him two and a half years more than his peers, he joined the team and became the security specialist to the mansion. He also formed an unlikely relationship with Princess Crystal, which did much to humanize the over-focussed inventor.
In September 2009 Forge joined Scott Summers and Jean Grey in relocating to the West Coast Annex in order to assist in forming a base of operations for a new X-Men team based on the west coast. As a result of him throwing himself completely into his work, his relationship with Crystal suffered and in January 2010 they agreed to end it.
