Since the mutants and the humans managed to live in peace side by side, both Gambit and Rogue figured that they could raise their kid without the fear of him being cast off from society. Claude's first few years went rather well his powers didn't started to come out fully yet, he was acting like a normal child. Playing, sleeping, eating and things like that. Because of that his parents thought that maybe the mutant gene skipped a generation.<br/><br/>His powers were active ever since he was a baby although not that much as someone could have thought, but as the years went by his powers started to grow in power more and more. It was in this time that his father taught him how to fight, during his teen years he had some troubles with controlling his powers, being almost thrown out of school because of destroying the the gym when he accidentally transformed the potential energy of a wight into kinetic energy and blasting a hole with it through a wall.<br/><br/>His parents figured that it would be best for him to go to Xavier's Institute where he could learn to control his powers, and that's what they did, they send Claude to the institute to stay there until he would learn to control his powers. From time to time they came to visit him but one day they didn't come. Later Claude heard that they were killed in a car accident, that made him want to be what they were heroes. So he started to work harder pushing his abilities to their limits and learning to control them. If they were alive they would be proud of him he managed to become a member of the X-men and he is using his powers to help mutants and humans live together.<br/>
