Derek Morgan is the youngest in a family of Chicago cops. His father was a cop, his brother is a cop, but Derek? Derek is a high school drop out that lives with his brother ever since their dad was killed in the line of duty.
Derek is also a mutant, who can grow giant wings out of his back, which also causes his eyes to turn red, talons to grow from his fingers, and his teeth to grow out. The transformation also causes him incredible pain.
He spent some time trying to be a guardian, but upon telling his brother what he was he was met with a bullet in his shoulder. Jean Grey did the mindwipe action, his family now believes that he found a job elsewhere, and he’s now running around with Jean and Jimmy Hudson.
