Bio: Will and his sister Rebecca were born in the mountains of Vermont in 1979. They were inseperable until they were seven years old, when Rebecca was stung by a bee, and died of an allergic reaction. For three years, Will underwent heavy therepy to deal with the loss, and eventually recovered, though the pain was still there, hidden from the world. And also during this time, he developed Arachnophobia. Soon after, his parents moved to Burlington Vermont to try to escape the pain.
Will grew into a talented young man, his photographic memory aiding him in his studies. He mastered the piano, guitar, and harmonica, and grew quite adept at computer programing and hacking.
His High School career ended abruptly however, when he accidentally triggered his mutant power where someone could see. That night, his parents were murdered, and he was attacked by a gang. Though he defeated his attackers, he was seriously injured, and a gunshot wound took his left eye.
Rogue and Jubilee, who had come to recruit him, managed to get him the care he needed to survive. He joined the X-Men soon after, and became very close to Jubilee.
He remained with the X-Men, risking his life to save his team-mates through many a perilous mission, including two trips to alternate dimensions, and took part in the Infinity Crusade.
One night, on a full moon, Will was transformed into a Werewolf, and killed. He was given a funeral service in the family cemetary in Vermont, with his whole family, and several X-Men in attendance.
Not long after, the X-Men were embroiled in an Interstellar War, involving several powerfull governments. Among the participants in this war was Roge a.k.a. Cybo, newest member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. It was later revealed to the New Republic that he was in fact, Will Davidson, when he recovered his memories during battle. The alien race, the Shar, had reanimated Will's body, and repaired the bodily damage with cybernetic implants.
His body was then cloned, so that Will could return home to earth, while Cybo could still serve the Shi'ar Imperium.
Upon returning to the mansion, Will found it empty, and the lone occupant, a single Phalanx organism, that he managed to defeat, with the aid of the Shades Computer that Cybo let him keep. He saved two other mutants from another Phalanx organism, and left for Vermont, needing time alone to sort out his life.
While visiting his Grand Parents, he discovered that several of his old friends from High School were disapearing.
His investigation led him to Namor and Roma, and deep under the sea. Will and his friends, who turned out to be mutants, escaped the destruction wrought by Legion by having themselves transported to the alternate timeline brought on by said destruction.
In the alternate timeline, Will and his friends managed to survive by the skin of their teeth. Meeting up with that world's X-Men, they once again escaped death by moving on to another dimension. In this new world, the X-Tremes defeated several supernatural menaces, and discovered that though he was a clone of the origional, Will was still a werewolf, before moving on once again.
Currently, Will and the X-Tremes are Dimension Hopping, hoping to find their way home.

Elseworlds Bios: Armageddon- Instead of dying, Will remained a member of the X-Men until both he and Jubilee were transferred to the Massachusets Academy. Their relationship continued to thrive, even surviving a massive nuclear war, started on August 29th, 1997, though Will was sickened by the radiation, and lost his hair. The Computer, Skynet, that started the war, then launched it's own war on the survivors. Will and Jubilee fought alongside the surviving X-Men, and Johnn Connor, and their children, Logan and Rebecca did so as well. Will and Jubilee survived the war, and lived happily ever after, helping to rebuild once Skynet was defeated.

Teen Two: Will and his twin sister were inseperable until they were fourteen, both manifesting their powers at the same time. Rebecca then died at fourteen, from an alergic reaction to a bee sting.
Will crashed into despair, and had to be institutionalized for a time, after attempting suicide. When he was released, he managed to live a fairly normal life for a time, before the mutant Emplate killed his parents. Will escaped, only to be confronted by a girl who appeared to be his sister.
He was rescued by Tornado and Jubilee, and joined Generation X, during his first and only mission as a member of Gen X, he helped defeat both Emplate and Magneto, and freed his sister from Emplate's control.
Will then left Gen X, and started a band with his sister, and his friends from vermont. Not long after, he recruited others into the band, and helped Blink, from an alternate time-line, adjust to the world, starting a relationship with her.
Some time after, he was again teamed with Tornado, and many of the Earth's heros, when an Alien race invaded their planet. He and the X-Tremes helped defeat the Aliens and save the planet.
The X-Tremes continue to grow in popularity.

Generation X 2: Will's parents were killed by an anti-mutant gang, and in the battle, Will killed all of the members of the gang. He was arrested for violating the Mutant Registration Act, and imprisoned in a concentration camp. While incarcerated in the camp, he looked out for his fellow prisoners, even taking the punisment for other's infractions. He escaped with the help of one other prisoner, and enlisted the aid of Generation X in liberating the camp. They were succesfull, and everyone escaped to a tree farm deep in the Appalacians, owned by his family. There, two new mutant teams, The X-Tremes, and X-Force were formed from the escaped mutants. These mutants continue to live there today.

Ghost Riders: Will's friends and family were killed in Appocalyps' cullings. He joined the X-Men, where he became quite close to Blink. But his desire for revenge almost cost the X-Men their lives, and he was sent to learn under Collosus and Kitty Pryde. He became disgusted with his instructors, and after a confrontation, left the team.
He then joined Ghost Rider, as one of his Spirits of Vengeance. He was the last of the Ghost Riders to live during their assault on Appocalyps' citadel. But he was killed in the battle, though his memories were transferred to his double from another timeline.

Paying The Piper: Will left the X-Men for reasons of his own, and formed his own team, the X-Tremes, that operated from his family's tree farm in West Virginia. The most signifigant mission of this team was the avenging of the X-Men's deaths at the hands of the Marauders. His team suffered no casualties, of Sinister and the Marauders, only Vertigo and Scrambler were spared.

Night of the Living Brain Dead: Will's parents were killed by an anti- mutant gang, and Will's eye is taken by a gunshot wound. He was then captured by Arcade, who had teamed with the Black Queen in order to take over the world. He was rescued by Sabertooth, and recovered from his injuries, both physical and mental, with the help of Psylocke. He then went to study at the Massachusets Academy, but was attacked by Selena. Generation X managed to get him out of the coma he'd been put into, and together, they stopped Arcade's plan, and rescued the captured mutants from the X-Men, and X-Factor, that Arcade had managed to brainwash.
