Megan Gwynn is a Welsh teenager who attends the Xavier Institute for mutants. After enrolling at the Institute, Gwynn was assigned to the Paragons training squad under the tutelage of former New Mutant, Rahne Sinclair. When it was revealed that Sinclair had been in a romantic relationship with a student, Josh Foley, she left the school, and was replaced by her former teammate, Magma.
