Fictional character biography
Jennifer Ransome was born on the island of Genosha, and was the girlfriend of Philip Moreau in her first appearance. David was the son of Philip Moreau, at the time Genosha's Genegineer, responsible for the process of turning the nation's mutants into "mutates", a slave caste that served the needs of the country. Dr. Moreau was even willing to turn Jennifer into a mutate when she tested positive. Philip Moreau fled the country with Jennifer and would oppose Genosha's policies from abroad. The Genoshan enforcers known as the Magistrates and the privileged mutants known as the Press Gang were sent after them. They captured Jennifer and her friend Madelyne Pryor, not knowing that Madelyne's friends were the X-Men. Moreau turned Jennifer into a mutate, altering her latent mutant power of cellular manipulation, and investigated Madelyne, who turned out to be not quite human, but not a mutant either. Madelyne's latent powers killed all the Magistrates investigating her and mentally attacked a representation of David Moreau himself. Shortly afterwards, Madelyne and Jennifer were saved by the X-Men and Phillip Moreau and they left Genosha.
