xxxxxSergio was born into a large, supportive extended family. Though an only child, he grew up in an encouraging, loving environment that was heavily saturated with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. A playful and rambunctious teen, his dream had always been to play professional sports.
When his mutant abilities began to manifest, his loved ones immediately grew concerned. He was initially treated for narcolepsy. As his symptoms continued to worsen and he began to lose stretches of days, he was placed in a round-the-clock care facility.
In reality, he was having vivid out-of-body experiences, abandoning his life altogether. Dark secrets about his friends and family made him less and less inclined to indulge them and he found that he prefered to remain asleep. His favorite thing to do became riding along with the surfers and sunbathers on the beach.
During a hurricane, he helped member of the X-Men who was aiding in last minute evacuation. Sergio would enter into harmful areas and inform them of where people were most in need of assistance. Being involved in the heroic efforts, the boy’s faith in humanity was partially restored. He was convinced to return with them to the institute, where he discovered his new dream: to someday become a member of the X-Men.
