ETCETERA
Family: Deceased Personal History: Forge is a mutant with an innate superhuman talent for invention - an intuitive genius, it is as natural as breathing for him. He is a Native American of the Cheyenne nation. Although he was trained as a medicine man, he has primarily relied upon technology rather than mysticism to accomplish his tasks. This rift between Forge and his elder teacher, Naze, made Forge leave his past behind and join the military. While in the army, Forge became a good soldier and served in the Vietnam War. After rising in the ranks to become a sergeant, he was asked by S.H.I.E.L.D. to join. Forge declined, because he saw his need was in Vietnam. During his second tour of duty in the war, his commander was killed by enemy troops; in anger, he used their spirits to summon a band of demons to destroy the opposition. Forge, concerned about his former comrades, decided to order a B-52 bombing on his position to close the portal from the world of the unliving. The bombs came down destroying the spirits. This action wasn't without a heavy price, as Forge lost his right leg and right hand. Years later, Forge had created cybernetic replacements for his lost limbs. When Tony Stark stopped making advanced weaponry for the Federal government, Forge was hired as an employee of the Defense Department. After learning of the misuse of some of his inventions by the government (specifically against mutants), Jonathon opted out of the DD and took up refuge at Xavier's sometime in the 1980's. He has taught several classes over the years and continues to do so, but the majority of his time is spent in the electronic lab, the chemical lab, etc. He scan also be found in the hangar, making alterations to the Blackbird II. Relationships: He has made it an effort to befriend or at least attempt mentoring the other (younger) Natives at Xaiver's (including Mirage, Torrent, Warpath and Zap). He treats everyone around him (working relationships or not) like his own, disobedient children. During her college-age years, he and Storm had a closer relationship (of the romantic nature) but it was strained during her involvement with The Thieves Guild. Upon her return, she became involved with Beast. Etymology of Name: Jonathon (Hewbrew) 'God has given' Hugo (German) 'Bright in mind and spirit'
