[That gets him to think about his past, all the "training" he did. Which really only got intense from about thirteen to fifteen before it settled down, and now he only does it when necessary, or for fun. Yeah... he really hasn't gotten much of that in at all.]



I only actually found out about my powers when I was around twelve or so, and that made me think I was a mutant, not a half Skrull. I... "trained" pretty hard after that, but probably not as much as you guys did.

[His training was more about discovering his powers, seeing how well he could shift, try to get better. It evolved into picking out things people found appealing about others and applying them to himself, wanting desperately to get some attention and approval. Of course, now that he's with the Young Avengers, he's accepted who he is and what he looks like.

But it's still a little hard to completely forget about that time of his life.]
