History:
..Moira MacTaggert is a brilliant genecist who won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work and used the prize money to found her own mutant research facility on Muir Island off the coast of Scotland a few years ago. Moira has been with Charles Xavier from the beginning, they met in college and quickly became friends and much more. After Xavier left to fight in the Vietnam War, Moira and he drifted apart. Moira married Joe MacTaggert after medical school who soon became abusive, beating her regularly, but she was too proud to mention the abuse in her letters to Xavier. After spending some time in the hospital, raped and beaten by Joe, she decided to abandon him, and though he refused to divorce her, finding useful to have a wife with a Nobel for his political career, he didn't care enough for her to try to persuade her to stay. Moira then learned that she was pregnant, but told nothing to Joe or Xavier. She gave birth to a son she called Kevin on her own. Unfortunately, the boy was a mutant so powerful in reality warping that his body was not able to contain the enormous energy inside. Moira had to lock him in a specialized cell on Muir Island to avoid his death. After many long months of tests she decided that alone she couldn't figure out how to help him, so she decided to return to Xavier to learn a way to help her son there.
