Biography
Origin
Born to superheroes Savage Dragon and Rapture he entered the world prematurely but thanks to his alien DNA was just as healthy as many full-term babies. He was abducted and replaced by a synthetic copy which lead his parents to think he was dead.
Taken by Darklord who traveled through time; he was trained as a warrior and groomed by an alternate version of his mother Rapture. The plan was to create an army of superhumans. At age four he first met his father who came to rescue other abducted children [Savage Dragon #74]. An other-dimensional counterpart of his mother Rapture was also present during his formative years [Savage Dragon #75].
He is eventually reunited with his father who explained the history of his parents to him [Savage Dragon #100]. At first, Malcolm was angry about what he learned but knew deep down it was true. He rebelled against his captors and was rescued by the angel “Debbie” who died soon after [Savage Dragon #100 and #102].
