History: Paige Guthrie grew up in Cumberland Kentucky with her large family. When she found out that her brother, Sam ("Cannonball"), was a mutant, Paige became extremely jealous of the attention he was getting from their parents (Even if it was negative attention.) So upon trying to out do her brother she went in search of how to make her mutation appear (Which she knew she just had to have.) She did this to no avail until (She spent months trying to force her powers to appear), completely frustrated, Paige screamed that she'd tear her skin off if she didn't find her mutation soon. After screaming till her heart was content Paige pulled her hands apart revealing a new form underneath her peeling skin. Sheâd finally managed to find the mutation (As weird and slightly disgusting as it was); this was at the age of 13 that they finally appeared.
Paige has since then been avoiding letting herself be known as a mutant for many years, not wanting to be viewed as an outcast in her family like Sam and Elisabeth (Both of whom her family had disowned when their mutations showed up). So instead she opted to further her education over seas in England where she would be far enough away from her family that there wouldnât be any possibility of them finding out about her mutation. While out partying with the âinâ crowd at her boarding school Paige met Jonothan âChamberâ Starsmore . She soon fell head over heels for him; he was the guitarist in a band that played on campus at Paigeâs boarding school pretty often. Their relationship didnât go very far at the time because Paige tried her very best to hide her mutation, and her current boyfriend Tristan Brawn had become rather possessive towards Paige. Her relationship was short lived with Tristan, about a year after sheâd arrived in England her older brother Sam showed up to visit her, and soon after Paige confided in him that she was a mutant. Sam soon leaked Paigeâs secret to Professor Xavier who found Paigeâs mutation interesting and thought that itâd be best if she began studying at Xavierâs School for gifted youngsters. Paige didnât accept the invite right off the bat, she was still holding onto the little pieces of normalcy she had in her life. After many months of fretting over her choices, Paige finally accepted the invitation and moved back to the United States to attend Xavierâs school. She began having her ups and downs at the school, constantly being looked at as Cannonballâs younger sister. She fought long and hard to come out from underneath her brotherâs shadow, and upon the creation of Generation X she finally had her outlet to show people she was just as good, or better then her brother. Receiving the codename âHuskâ she finally let go of the last normalcy in her life, and came to terms with her mutation and the course itâd set her life on. A few weeks after Generation X was formed a new face showed up in the form of an old love; Jonothan âChamberâ Starsmore became the newest member of Generation X. While with Generation X Paige become even more independent and self-confident. Along with that, her feelings for Chamber became even more apparent, and his for her. Though again they were both parted as Generation X broke apart and Paige returned home with the intention of becoming an environmental activist in the Northwest while Jonothan moved back to London.
After a few months of living a ânormalâ life again ( Sheâs now around the age of 18 ), back to pretending her mutation wasnât there. Paige was invited to join Bansheeâs X-Corps, and herself and Jonothan soon met up again. They began to work out their feelings, both admitting to liking the other. When this agency closed Paige chose to move to London with Chamber, and a few months later the two announced their engagement. Paige had begun her environmental work again in London, being very gung-ho about it all. Herself and Chamber had gone back to living a normal life, and were rather content with that. After a six-month engagement Paige and Jonothan tied the knot. Their happy little ânormalâ life was disrupted again when Paige and Jonothan both received letters inviting them to join the X-men and Paige feeling as if this might finally give her the last little shove she needed to get out from underneath Samâs shadow she began to beg and plead with Jonothan to take the invitation and if they realized that being apart of a team didnât suit them anymore they would pack their bags and move back to England. Two months into their little stint Paige was moved from her own timeline and joined a time traveling team in which she did one mission with, that mission having had a great effect on the young girl she was unsure as to if she would just plead for them to allow her to step back into her timeline and forget that any of it had ever happened. Unexpectedly though Paige was thrown into another âmissionâ and enlisted to help out a group that was going by the name âThe Watchâ.

History: Dinah was the only child of Larry Lance and Diana/Dinah Lance. When she was only about a year old her parents were both killed in a car accident, leaving instructions that if they were ever to pass away that Norman Osborn was her legal guardian. Norman at the time was a close friend to Larry Lance. So the little girl was brought into the Osborn home and raised as if she was his daughter, though Dinah doesnât know much of what it his her fatherâs company does. But itâs not like sheâd be too shocked with the information if she was to find out, being sheâs a bit of a thief and usually runs on the wrong side of the law. Known among most New York police officers as the thief who preys on other thieves, Dinah has gained herself a reputation in New York and has even had a run in or two with the cityâs beloved Spider-man. Living life as the daughter of one of New Yorkâs wealthiest men hasnât been a hard one for Dinah. The young girl grew up with all the finery of life and at all the best schools all the while delighting in getting under big brother Harryâs skin. After all why would god give her a big brother if she wasnât supposed to drive him nuts. Dinahâs energy was unstoppable and thus her âfatherâ thought up ways to keep the young girl busy, such as placing her in every self-defense and martial arts class that he could find.
Dinah didnât object to any of this because it kept her busy and she could now easily take down all the boys in her class. Her teenage years went on like this, she spent a lot of her time at school in detention and when she wasnât in detention she was busy trying to figure out a way to get out of the school without her teachers or classmates noticing. Often sheâd pull a fire alarm and race off of the grounds before anyone even noticed that the little raven haired trouble maker had even done anything. By the time Dinah was 16 sheâd pissed off ever boarding school in New York state and thus Norman Osborn was forced to place his troublemaker of a daughter into public school were she still caused as much trouble, but the staff wasnât as easy to fool or so easily swayed with money.
Dinah didnât mind the change of venue for her little stunts, nor did she mind spending most of her time in detention still. After all Harry was the perfect child, she was the black sheep of the family so to speak, which when it comes to the Osborn family it takes a lot to become the black sheep. Dinah, or Osborn as sheâd taken to calling herself by the age of 17, was spending most of her nights on the streets stealing other thieves stuff and basically upsetting the social standings of the thieves by being the first to steal from them. It was by this time that Dinah had met her brotherâs best friend Peter Parker and started to grow some kind of odd attachment to him. It wasnât as if the tough as nails girl really wanted to go all weak in the knees and giggling when Peter was around, but something inside of her was attracted to the air of mystery that seemed to follow the science nerd around. Of course if Dinah had figured out that Peter Parker was Spider-man she would never had pursued a relationship with him. But something kept on bringing the edgy teenager back to him, so Dinah pursued him and finally got Peter to agree to spending some time with her under the guise that she needed help in science (Which actually wasnât a lie).
Im her senior year of High school Dinah dropped out, finally giving up on school all together. Which at the time upset her on again off again boyfriend Peter, who knew that the rebellious young girl was bright and could have gone far. But the restless spirit in Dinah just couldnât keep her interested in school any longer and she began focusing all her attention on taking from other thieves and giving it back to those it belonged to, she was New Yorkâs very own messed up Robin Hood. When Dinah was twenty years old Spider-man killed Norman Osborn and Dinah became fairly depressed over this and made it her own personal agenda to make Spider-manâs life a living hell. Though soon after her âfatherâsâ death it was revealed to her that Norman wasnât her father at all and that her own parents had been killed in a car accident when she was a baby. At that same time Dinah found out that her mother had been Gotham Cityâs very own Black Canary and thus took up the name and began the work her mother had started (Which wasnât too different from what sheâd been doing.) Going to their grave sites with Peter one day Dinah was overcome with frustration and screamed as loud as she could, but instead of a scream what came out of her was more like a sonic canary cry and thus she realized that the name Black Canary fit her far better then sheâd ever thought. Soon after that realization Dinah parted ways with everyone she knew back in New York and moved to a small apartment in Gotham City, where she started anew as Black Canary. Keeping contact with only Harry, she found out a year later that her teenager love Peter Parker had married Mary Jane Watson, which hadnât been a big surprise to Dinah since sheâd always thought those two would make a good match. After all Peter wasnât really the rebellious type and Dinah would never be able to settle down. Thus the petite thief has been living a solitary life in Gotham City, though a certain masked bowman has caught her attention. Oliver Queen soon became Dinah, or Osborn as he calls her, confidant and closest friend and has somehow managed to get the free spirit of a girl to settle down a bit. Though sheâs vowed never to give up her life as a thief. It was planned on her twenty first birthday Dinahâs life was thrown into a tailspin when she was pulled from her reality by Dr. Steven Strange and asked to join a team called âThe Watchâ.
