Not much is known about Tommy Shepherd's history, save that his parents, Frank and Mary, are divorced. When the Young Avenger Hulkling was kidnapped by Kl'rt the Super Skrull, the Young Avengers needed more members in order to rescue Hulkling. Thomas Shepherd was listed in the Avengers Fail-Safe program as a possible Young Avenger. Tommy, however, was locked in a high powered juvenile hall facility due to him "accidentally" vaporizing his school. After releasing him, the team was shocked to find that Tommy and Wiccan bore an twin-like resemblance to one another. Tommy revealed that he had been locked up for months and during that time the facility's faculty had tried to turn him into a living weapon. He attacked the security guards and the fleeing doctors in an attempt at revenge. Hawkeye and Patriot managed to subdue Tommy and convince him to join the team in rescuing their teammate from the Super-Skrull. ()
