Biography[]

Early Life[]

Reed was born to Ellen and Otto Strucker. He was raised mostly by his mother, due to his father, Otto working at Trask Industries daily. When Reed was a child he suddenly got very sickly nearly dying, however, when he recovered, his father soon left, never seeing his son, Reed after his recovery. Unbeknownst to the young Reed, his father, Otto had injected him with a serum that seemingly cured him of his mutant powers, making Reed a normal human.

However, unbeknownst to Otto, the serum that he used on Reed, only temporarily suppressed his son's mutant powers, but it did not actually cure him of these said powers, as Reed's mutant powers would not emerge, until 30 years later.

Reed would go on to meet Caitlin and had two children, named Lauren and Andy. Getting a job as a DA prosecutor, Reed soon began prosecuting mutant criminals.

Three years prior to Reed discovering that his children were mutants, his family were nearly the victims of a car accident, but the oncoming truck swerved and missed them. His wife preached that it was a miracle that they didn't die for weeks, when it had really been their daughter, Lauren using her powers to save them.

Two years after that event, Reed had taken his family and mother out for a family night of bowling, while there, he saw a young mutant girl being teased, by some teenagers and it caused her powers to lash out and damage a bit of the alley, he told the girl's father that they had to leave or he would be forced to call the police, completely disregarding the fact that it was those teenagers, who were actually responsible for that incident, as they were harassing the young mutant girl.

After the young mutant girl and her father left, Lauren confronted him and asked why it had to be the two of them that left, but Reed dismissed it and tried to get them to go back to what they were all doing.

The Gifted[]

"eXposed"[]

Reed and his wife, showed up at their children's high school to demand that the school take action in the recurring bullying of their son, Andy. It was negatively influencing his academic performance, as well as his sleeping habits and communication between him and his parents. In situations such as this, Mr. Baird recommended the C.A.R.E (communicate, adjust, reconcile, and empathize) system. Before he could continue to explain the functioning purpose of the C.A.R.E system, Reed cut him off, wanting to make one thing clear; Andy needed help. Should the school fail to care for these needs, Reed threatened to sue the school into oblivion.

But the school had procedures to follow, meaning they couldn't stray from policy. With a menacing glare on his face, Reed advises Mr. Baird to find someone who can assist Andy as they see fit. Reed is worried that the glare may have been over the top as Mr. Baird exited the office, but Caitlin assured him that it was scary and the perfect amount of glare. Sadly, Reed wouldn't be able to stay to finish out the meeting as he had been tasked with interviewing a mutant criminal at the Garland Detention Center. He told Caitlin that he loved her before kissing her goodbye and leaving to go to work.

Later Reed and his associate entered the mutant wing of the Garland Detention Center, where he met face to face with the mutant underground leader Lorna Dane, better known as Polaris. She was accused of the attempted murder of two police officers as well as the illegal use of her mutant abilities. Reed is willing to reduce her charges in exchange for her cooperation. However, Lorna claimed to have no knowledge of anything worth sharing. Claiming she was walking down the street when a cop randomly shot at her. Though with detailed documentation of Lorna and her affiliation to the Mutant Underground, Reed knew this to be false as she and her associates had aided and abetted dozens, if not hundreds, of mutant fugitives.

Reed cautiously entered her transparent cell. Whether she believed it or not, he was trying to help her to the best of his ability. He reiterated her attempted murder charges. With her ability to control magnetism, Lorna lightly pulled on the screws embedded in Reed's knee from an old sports injury. She explained that she could tear out the screws and show him what attempted murder truly looks like, claiming that if she wanted the cops dead, they would. Reed then pulled her medical exam from a folder. What Lorna read shook her to her core. He was going to ask the court to assign her a lawyer, but she had a big decision to make. Lorna lashed out and in a great display of power, she shattered the lights, broke a window, and cracked her cell.

That night Reed received a frantic call from Caitlin telling him about a mutant attack at the kids' school. If this was the case, he's wondering why there were people at their home. However what Caitlin was trying to convey was somehow getting lost in translation. There was so much that she didn't even know where to begin. While the kids were safe, Caitlin did not know for how much longer that would remain to be true. As for the mutants that attacked them, Reed asked what had happened of them, to which Caitlin explained that they weren't attacked by mutants but that their children Andy and Lauren are the "mutants". Reed was nearly speechless, barely able to form a full sentence, after learning of this.

Reed met up with Caitlin and the kids in a diner on the outskirts of Atlanta. He looked to Andy, asking if anyone was hurt during the incident of his powers manifesting and who instigated the altercation. While Andy wasn't sure if anyone suffered any severe injuries, Lauren assured Reed that Andy did not instigate the altercation. Caitlin reminded Reed that it wasn't a deposition and that a legal understanding of the matter would do little to deter Sentinel' Services. Reed initially believed that Caitlin misspoke when saying Sentinel Services, however, she meant exactly what she said, and this instantly instilled great fear into Reed.

Caitlin wondered if he could talk to Cal, his boss, and the District Attorney, but as Reed explained, a mutant related attack being covered by the Sentinel Services was far beyond his jurisdiction. They were a federal agency and the only reason Caitlin and the kids managed to get away was due to the fact that they lacked time in forming a team. They needed to go some place safe where the mutant laws are less strict, like Mexico. The last time the Sentinel Services got involved in one of Reed's cases, a suspect disappeared. There is nothing more important to Reed than his family, and he refused to allow that to happen to them.

Reed later called his associate, Carla, from just outside the Central Courthouse Building to ask for her help. Carla first informed him that the Sentinel Services was raiding his office, his computer and emails included, which he was already aware of. He needed the case file for the mutant network investigation. Acknowledging the insanity of this plan, Reed didn't know what else to do in such desperate times. He needed to get his family some place safe and if he could get in contact with the mutants, they may be able to help. While Carla admittedly owed everything to Reed, what he required was asking a lot of her. They were meddling with an open case, thus she could get disbarred or thrown into jail. Despite the risk, Reed pleaded with Carla one last time to help his family, to which she eventually agreed.

With the case file, Reed called Marcos Diaz, one of the members of the mutant underground, hoping that they could help his family get across the border. Reed explained that the mutant incident at the high school was because of his kids. Hearing that Marcos decided that it's not worth the risk, Reed regained his attention after revealing that he is a prosecutor with the city, involved in building a case against Marcos and his mutant associates for the District Attorney's Office. If Marcos wished to help Lorna, he'd help Reed's family cross the border. Reed wanted a meeting to which Marcos agreed. Reed then revealed to Marcos what was the latest development in a string of recent developments; that Lorna is pregnant.

The next morning after a night of sleep at a motel, Caitlin joined Reed by the window and joked that he may be a mutant with a snoring ability. As previously arranged, Reed would be meeting with Marcos later in the evening because they failed to come up with any better options. Caitlin was aware that he was doing the best he could. She'd take one option over none. Caitlin then asked if he knew how rough it was on the mutant fugitives who were constantly evading Sentinel Services.

Reed knew it wasn't easy, but they both remembered how it was with the mutants fighting amongst each other, and innocent people getting hurt in the crossfire. Because of this the Sentinel Service was created. Unfortunately their stay at the Caravan Motel would end there as it was time to move again due to a Sentinel Services drone circling the area. While it couldn't see them from inside the room, it knew the license plate of their vehicle. They woke the kids and exited the motel, stealing a truck in the process. To steal the truck Lauren had used her power to stall the owner in which Reed got his first glimpse of his daughter's mutant ability to create force fields.

As planned, Reed met with Marcos at a lounge. He assured Marcos that it wasn't a setup and that no one was coming. Marcos asked about how Lorna and the baby are doing. All Reed would reveal is that she's in a detention center. Marcos lost his patience with his vague answers and grabbed his arm. He began to burn him using a bright ray of light being emitted from his hand and as the heat intensified, Reed confessed that Lorna was being kept at Garland. However, he doesn't know much of the baby's condition as he only saw the medical exam. Reed offered to help Lorna and answer any of Marcos' questions but only after his family is safe. Marcos agreed to his terms handing Reed a piece of paper with an address on it. However, Reed will have to stay behind to make sure that he holds up his end of their bargain.

That night, after following the address given to him by Eclipse, Reed and his family arrived to an abandoned warehouse facility where Eclipse awaited their arrival. He would get them supplies; food, water, and blankets. After that they would head down to the border. He explained that he knew people down by the border with a specific set of skills that'll allow them to get people under, over, or even through the wall. Once that is done, the underground will get them new IDs. There are churches of people who will help.

Unfortunately, their plans went awry as the Sentinel Services surrounded them and ordered them to the ground. Reed suggested that they talk to them. Just as it seemed their chance of escaping was gone, they were rescued by John Proudstar and Clarice Fong, two more mutants from the underground network. The seven of them ran throughout the warehouse searching for the nearest exit as Sentinel Services unleashed the Sentinels. They eventually found themselves cornered by the Sentinels. Thankfully, Eclipse and Lauren were able to fend them off while Blink created a portal leading to the Mutant Underground HQ. With Blink struggling to maintain the portal, everyone crossed over with the exception of Reed, who was shot in the back and left behind to be captured by Sentinel Services after Blink's portal closed.

"rX"[]

After being captured, Reed now finds himself on the opposite end of the prison-industrial complex, than he is interrogated by Jace Turner, the Sentinel Services agent in charge of the Strucker case. Turner and Reed discuss the situation about Reed and his family. Reed isn't intimidated and spars with him over the legal situation. Turner doesn't back down and neither does Reed, who demands a lawyer.

Turner has filed charges of terrorism against Reed as they know he used Polaris' file to contact the Mutant Underground. Turner then also reveals that there is a desire to classify this group as a terrorist organization like the Brotherhood of Mutants or the Mutant Liberation Front making the charges against Reed even more serious. Reed defends the Mutant Underground and says they are nothing like them, but Turner points out his attempts to prosecute Polaris against him. Turner then reveals that he lost his daughter, Grace, during the "July 15th" incident and points out to Reed that he'll never know if the blast of energy that killed his daughter came from a good mutant or a bad mutant and he doesn't even care when it boils down to it. Reed while sympathic still remains to his resolve.

Later, Turner tries to talk to Reed again, but Reed remains confident, pointing out that as a prosecutor he has sat on Turner's side of the table numerous times and that he’s convinced that if Turner was going to actually follow through on these threats he would have done so already. Figuring out Turner is desperate to salvage a terrible operation gone wrong. Reed stipulates the terms of their deal: he will give them the underground, but Reed's family will go free.

"eXodus"[]

Reed was being questioned about Marcos Diaz by Jace Turner who told him that he had met him at a bar and that the owner had been a mutant named Fade. Jace then made a plan; Reed would go back to that bar, claiming that he wanted help to get back to his family after escaping from Sentinel Service. Reed didn't believe that Fade would buy that he had magically escaped but Turner told him that they would send out reports and feelers about Reed being wanted and loose for the Mutant Underground to find and give his story more credibility. He would then be taken to the Underground when Fade made contact and lead Sentinel Services to where they were.

Later on in a Sentinel Services van. Jace placed a GPS tracker on Reed. Turner warned him that the tracker wouldn't come off unless he removed it himself so Reed couldn't escape them. Reed then went behind the bar to talk to Fade as their alerts and APB's on Reed had gone public. He told Fade how he was there a few days ago and told him he wanted to see where can he find Marcos. At gunpoint, Reed pleaded with Fade that all he wanted was to find his family. He then told Fade that if he wasn't going to help, then pull the trigger as it would do him a favor. After a minute, Fade believed him and told Reed to follow him.

Walking into the bar, Fade asked how he escaped. Reed claimed that Sentinel Services seemed to give up looking for him when they separated as they had prioritized going for his children over him. They walked into the backroom where Reed was introduced to a woman named Shelia and her daughter, Dominique. Fade left Reed there and said he would be back for them when it was time to leave. Reed asked if he would be taken to his family then, but Fade told him that he would be taken to a drop point at which point someone from the Underground would arrive to take them the rest of the way. He talked to Shelia and Dominique about his situation and learned about theirs.

Learning Sheila's husband was taken by Sentinel Services because of his mutant status and now were after them too. Reed was surprised that they would be after a small child like Dominique, but Sheila informed him that Sentinel Services only saw her as a future threat as she possessed the X-Gene. Sheila them saw that Reed was still in pain from his own encounter with Sentinel Services and used her powers to relieve him of his pain.

When night fell, they were placed in the back of a van and Fade started to drive them off. Turner, Weeks and their team started to trail after them. When Fade announced that they were close, Dominique grabbed Reed's hand and told him he didn't have to be scared anymore. Reed then had second thoughts knowing this wasn’t the right way to save his family by throwing the Underground under the bus quickly warned Fade that they were being followed.

When Fade told him not to worry as he could cloak their van Reed explained how Sentinel Services put the tracker on him. Reed then jumped out the van after telling them he was sorry as he just wanted to save his family. He got up and confronted Jace, who told him how he had just made the biggest mistake of his life and how they had a deal. Reed told him that he had actually prevented his biggest mistake and for Jace "to shove their deal up his ass".

"eXit strategy"[]

For breaking his deal with Agent Turner, Reed was placed in a prison cell, Polaris was also put in the same cell block as Reed. A shocked Lorna asked why her prosecutor was imprisoned, to which Turner responded that Reed had his own legal problems and would be transferred to the same facility as she was. Lorna was amazed at irony; the fact that Reed, the same person who tried to use her unborn child to get her to turn against her friends was going to prison as well. As Agent Turner left the room, Reed attempted to inform Lorna of his deal with the Underground, but she refused to hear him out, especially after learning that he almost got Marcos killed.

Reed tried to get through to Polaris, acknowledging that he was not the kind of person she wanted to speak to, in which Lorna agreed. Reed then explained to her that he always told himself that anyone that was facing him in his courtroom was guilty and thus deserving of any crime they were accused of. He told himself that he was the prosecutor, and that the laws were clear, and if someone broke them, it was by definition their fault. He also told himself that he was only doing his job but then found out that his children were mutants and that they didn't mean to hurt anyone. They were only defending themselves.

However, they themselves had broke the law and with mandatory minimums, they would serve ten years imprisoned if not more and even pointing out the fact that a few days ago, he would have been the one making that argument. Reed continued to explain that before all of that had occurred to him and his family, that he didn't understand but he does now and that he was sorry. However Lorna sarcastically congratulated him on realizing that he's the bad guy. Pointing out to Reed that he had destroyed many lives. She harshly told him If he wanted forgiveness, then to ask it from a little boy who she strapped on a bus while he screamed, begging to join his mother in prison where Reed and his associates sent her or the the hundreds of families whose lives he and his co-workers had ruined as she had no forgiveness to offer.

The next day Reed and Lorna's transfer to a new ultra secure facility arrived, and they both were escorted to a transport bus with several Sentinel Service agents, including Jace Turner among them. Both were placed in a plastic cell and strapped to their seats. While the bus went through a warehouse district in Peache tree, it suddenly broke down. Reed implored Lorna to hear him out claiming he knows she hates him and is fine with it and accepts it, but pointed out that something was wrong with the bus and if there was an opportunity to escape, it was going to come along soon. He then asked her if her hatred of him was worth more than giving her child a real life. Polaris reluctantly agreed to work with Reed.

As the agents unlocked them from their seats, Polaris and Reed enacted their escape and attacked the guards. However, they were quickly overpowered. Soon after, Polaris felt her powers return to her. However unfortunately, there was nothing inside their plastic cells that she could use to escape as everything metal was outside of their cell. Reed remembering the metal screws in his leg that Polaris tugged on during their first encounter told her to take them out and use them to free themselves. Polaris reluctantly yanked the metal screws from Reed's leg and used them to free Reed and herself from their restraints. She then attacked the guard with the very same screws as he attempts to call-in their escape.

Lorna then used her powers to break open the back of the bus, allowing her and Reed to escape, and rendezvous with John and Marcos, whom had come to rescue them. Caitlin then arrived in a stolen Sentinel Services SUV to get them to safety. Reed then embraces his relieved wife, before she drove them away as fast as possible.

"boXed in"[]

As Mutant Underground got off the street to swap the SUV for an untraceable car. They also had some new clothes for Reed and Polaris to change into. As John began to tell Marcos and Lorna about Pulse being the reason they couldn't use their powers he was cut off when he heard an incoming Sentinel Services drone.

As Lorna and Marcos decided to lead the drone away John, Caitlin, and Reed returned to Headquaters where Reed saw his children for the first time since he was arrested and they all had a tearful embrace.

However Fade saw Reed and attacked him. Still furious that Reed was going to sell them out. While John broke the fight up, Fade revealed to the entire room that Reed was working for Sentinel Services and nearly exposed them. As the things began to get serious over what Reed did Caitlin attempted to mediate, pointing out that there were injured people there who needed help. Reed revealed to Caitlin that what Fade said is true and assured her that he'll find a way to work things out.

While Fade was still arguing with Reed John was pulled away by Sage, who informed him that all chatter on the manhunt went silent. Reed offered his knowledge of law enforcement protocols to assist in protecting the hideout and was able to figure out that Sentinel Services was searching for Marcos and Lorna, and had Atlanta PD searching a grid for the hideout.

John, Reed, and Sage considered their situation. Reed came up with the idea that he needed to draw them away from the hideout's location, throwing off the educated guesses that Sentinel Services had made so far. Agreeing with the idea John convinced Fade to help Reed in his mission to draw Sentinel Services' attention Which Fade grudgingly agreeded to.

Caitlin was not fond of the idea of Reed putting himself in Sentinel Service crosshairs again, Reed told her it had to be him, both because he just escaped and because he needed to prove himself to the Mutant Underground.

Fade drove Reed out into the city and Reed explained the plan: he'll walk in front of some cameras to show that he's in a different area than where Sentinel Services was searching throwing them off the trail of the hideout, and that he'll meet Tex two blocks down.

The cameras identifed Reed and Sentinel Services redirected the search as planned. Thunderbird had Sage text Reed telling him to get out of the area. Reed continued walking through the city but as the police were getting closer, and Tex was seemingly not arriving to pick Reed up. Reed ran but was limping from when Polaris took the screw from his leg for them to escape. He was nearly caught, but then fortunately bumped into Tex's invisible car. They escaped with Tex telling Reed he was just making sure whose side Reed was on.

Later Reed reunited with his family again. They sat down for dinner and Andy asked what the plan was and if they still planned to go to Mexico, but Caitlin said it was not safe to travel yet and Reed added that he believed he could be an asset ot the Underground.

"got your siX"[]

John organized a team of mutants and explained that they're now taking the fight to the those who have been hunting them; Sentinel Services by breaking into a federal building in Baton Rouge that had information on the process that turned mutants into soldiers for Sentinel Services. Reed told them what he knew, which unfortunately was not much and without Blink who had left, they needed another way inside. Andy volunteered and Reed decided to go with him.

The group consisting of Andy, Marcos, and Reed packed to leave. Caitlin expressed her worries to Reed wondering if it was a good idea to let Andy leave. Reed told her that it may be a chance for him to reconnect with Andy, although Caitlin still wasn't happy about it. Reed tried to talk to Andy about what’s happened with the bullies and Andy told him that the whole reason the bullies came after him that night was that Reed and Caitlin went to speak to the principal. Before they could talk more in depth about it they're interrupted when the truck in whic they’re hiding in is pulled over by police. Eclipse however managed to hide them by absorbing all of the light in the truck. The officer looked inside but could not see anything and allowed them to pass.

Arriving Marcos, Reed, and Andy entered a garage that shared a wall with the federal building. Andy used his powers to create an opening in the wall, but it sets off several car alarms. Andy tried to enter, but Reed insisted he stick to the plan and return to the truck.

Reed and Eclipse headed inside where they found the judge's office that they were looking for and Marcos burned their way in. Reed gathered the files on mutants that are inside and before they leave Eclipse began to burn out the hard drives to take with them. Eclipse then burned the evidence in the room much to Reed's protests but Marcos told them they couldn't leave any trace.

On the ride back the group was tailed by a cop and Marcos called John and told him they are being followed. Reed told John to search for alerts which he found, suggesting they know that the mutants are coming. Andy insisted that they let him help and began to get frustrated with his powers acting out Reed calmed him down however, saying they needed to act like a team and let Polaris and her group do their part.

Sentinel Services issued a warning, but the truck kept driving. Polaris used her powers to lift the truckand Lauren created a shield ramp allowing the truck to lift over the barricade. Wes then proceeded to create an illusion that showed the truck going in two different directions, each one not the way the real truck went. Allowing Reed, Andy, and Marcos to get away.

Back at the base, Reed and Caitlin reminisced about law school and she gave him a ring she found to replace his wedding ring that he lost when captured they then proceeded to kiss. 

Later Reed sat down to talk to Andy and told his son that he alway had been proud of him and that he wanted to hear anything Andy had to say much to Andy's delight.

"eXtreme measures"[]

Reed, Marcos, Lorna, Sonya and Sage learn from John that Sentinel Services is ramping up surveillance across the board, meaning things are going to get worse before they get better. Unfortunately, they are running out of supplies with the influx of refugees. So, Marcos volunteers to take a drive up to Marietta, where he supposedly heard that they had supplies to offer. John turns his attention to the hard drives from Baton Rouge, which Reed and Sage are working on. They are encrypted, but that likely means that there is something worth hiding on them. If they don't find out how Sentinel Services is turning mutants against each other, all their work will have been for nothing. Lastly, John announces that he will be leaving soon to track down Clarice. She knows the station's location, which can compromise the entire organization if she is apprehended.

Reed and Sage attempt to crack the hard drives from Baton Rouge. During which time, Reed notes that the first drive is solely police files on mutants. However, on Sage's drive, the encryption runs much deeper. Reed suggests that maybe they are dealing with a shopping list. It seems as if Sentinel Services is picking mutants specifically based on their powers to participate in whatever program they are working with. They aren't even pretending as if it is legal. While combing through the files, Reed comes upon what he believes to be Wes' file. A Hispanic male, 16-19, with medium black hair and the ability to manipulate images.

Reed reveals his findings to Caitlin. He is almost certain that Wes is in the mutant criminal files for conning people and robbing stores in Cartersville. While Caitlin agrees that this is bad, she tells Reed not to overreact as Lauren has been through a lot lately. Caitlin instructs him to talk to her because she won't be happy about this. The worst thing Reed can do right now is go on the attack. After speaking to Caitlin, Reed goes looking for Lauren. He interrupts Polaris' training session with Andy, Skyler and Naya. Reed asks him about Lauren who was also supposed to be at the training session though Andy claims to have no knowledge of her whereabouts. But he quickly caves and reveals that she is with Wes.

Lauren returns, supposedly from the basement as some of the refugees needed more towels. However, Reed and Caitlin know this to be a lie. They tell her that they need to talk to her about Wes. Lauren immediately assumes that it's about them not wanting her to date a mutant. But Reed shows her Wes' file that he recovered from the encrypted drive. Lauren reads the file, but she's in denial that Wes has committed the crimes being accused of him. Lauren defends him by pointing out that they've all broken the law. But as Reed points out, they broke the law out of survival. Wes did it out of greed, by conning a jewelry store owner. Lauren realizes that her father hasn't changed a bit. He still assumes the worst of mutants with little to no proof. Reed wants her to look at the situation from clear eyes, but she pleads with him to stop as she walks off teary eyed.

Reed and Sage continue their efforts on the encrypted drives. As Reed takes everything there is to take from the files, Sage works on the second drive, calculating relationships with asymmetrical algorithmic keys. Reed inquires about her secondary duty of evaluating the mutants that are brought into the station. With so many mutants running from the law, Reed wonders how she determines whether or not to allow someone to stay or leave. There are certain things that they didn't forgive, such as murder, rape, and victimizing other mutants. Other than that, she only asks that everyone tell the truth because the station is built on trust. Should they fail to adhere, then they are forced to leave.

Reed is joined by Caitlin as he contemplates his approach with Lauren. He never figured they would be arguing over mutant boyfriends. He just wants to protect her. Caitlin and Reed were blind to so much about the world, which is why Lauren hid herself from them. Right now, Caitlin tells Reed that Lauren needs a dad, not a prosecutor.

Reed finds Wes just outside the station, sitting on the front steps. Wes presumes that Reed hates him but this isn't the case. Nonetheless, what Reed thinks doesn't matter nearly as much as what Lauren thinks. He tells Wes that he's been enforcing laws all his life. The way he saw it, society only worked if there are consequences for breaking the rules. Lately, his feelings on society have changed a bit, but i's something he still believes in. What Wes did was wrong. So, Reed gives Wes a choice to make, either he can hope that no one at the station finds out or he can be truthful and take his chances. Either way, Reed leaves the decision in his hands.

That night, Wes interrupts the Struckers' dinner to let them know that he spoke to Sage and the others, and told them about his criminal history. However, it was all behind him and he intends to be a better person moving forward. So they allowed him to stay. He then apologizes for lying and thanks Reed for the talk. Unfortunately, Wes has no plans on staying. There is a group going to the Augustus station tomorrow and they asked him to join them, much to Lauren's disappointment.

Later that night, as Andy and Lauren sleep, Reed and Caitlin have sex.

In the monitoring cell, the following day, Sage informs John that the second drive mostly contains information from mutants who were sent into the program. Pulse happened to be one of the first. Unfortunately, all they have are the courthouse's records of who was selected, but it doesn't say anything on where they went. However, Reed explains that if it is ran by the Sentinel Services, then there has to be records given that it is a government program. Sage reveals that it isn't a government program at all. It is run by a private military contractor; Trask Industries, which Reed is familiar with since his father worked there for 35 years. However, it supposedly closed down in 2006. John questions if Reed's father has any involvement with the program, though Reed is unsure.

"threat of eXtinction"[]

Reed gathers Caitlin, Lauren and Andy to inform them of his father's past involvement with Trask Industries, the same independent contractor responsible for the Hound program. Andy recalls Reed telling them that his dad disappeared years ago, and that he ran out on him and his mom. However, this isn't quite true. He lives up in Chattanooga. Which is only 2 hours away. The kids had never met him, which was intentional. He was a difficult man that was always working and never close with his family. When Reed was a child, he got sick, and almost died, yet his father didn't even bother coming to visit him at the hospital. Lauren sympathizes with her father, grabbing his hand tightly. They hadn't spoken since before Lauren and Andy were born, but that would have to change if they desire to know more about Trask Industries and their affiliation with Sentinel Services.

Reed tells John that they need to visit his father in Chattanooga. In spite of the risk, he is their only connection to Trask Industries. A station in Perry had just fell, so John is heading out to pick up survivors, but he tells Reed to prepare a car with supplies, and they'd leave once he returns. After John, Marcos and Clarice return from picking up the refugees from the fallen Perry station, Reed and John prepare to head out. Reed says goodbye to his family before leaving for Chattanooga. Caitlin wants to go with him since seeing his father for the first time in so long will certainly bring up all the disappointments and bad memories, but she's better off with the kids. Reed can cross examine a murder suspect, but he's shaken by the thought of talking to his father after 20 years. Regardless, if talking to him helps protect them from their latest threat then it is a small price to pay. Caitlin then gives him and hug and says that she loves him before sending him off.

Reed and John arrive in Chattanooga, where much to John's surprise, Reed's father is an antique dealer. Given that he worked for Trask, John was under the impression that he was a scientist. Reed explains that he took it over when he retired, as he was big on living in the past. Reed and John enter the antique shop, where Reed reunites with his father after twenty years. Otto is taken back by Reed's unexpected arrival as he never expected to see him again.

Reed is told by his father that he shouldn't have wasted his time by coming as he had heard about the incident involving Andy and Lauren at their school. Sentinel Services had come to him after the incident but he told them that he hadn't spoken to his son in years and never even met his grandchildren. He then tells Reed that his work with Trask is classified and can't help him. Reed is upset as his father had told him for years that Trask was just a defense contractor. When Otto says that Trask no longer exists, Reed informs him that it is back and they are now doing anti-mutant research. Otto worked there for 30 years and now it turns out his grandchildren are mutants which Reed doesn't believe to be a coincidence. John goes on to say that they are experimenting on mutants. They've even managed to turn his best friend, Pulse. Having said that, Otto calls Reed upstairs.

They go upstairs, where his father asks if his mother, Ellen is okay. Reed tells him that they used to see her every couple weeks. He had seen her last when she was brought in for questioning by Sentinel Services. Reed then goes onto talk about the children. Andy is 15. Lauren just turned 17. Reed gives his father a family photo of them all from last summer. Reed wonders if his father can tell him anything about Trask but that work was peaceful research and had nothing to do with turning mutants against other mutants. Reed begs his father to tell him anything. While Reed presumes that he didn't mean much to his dad, Reed says that his children mean everything to him. Otto becomes defensive. He claims that Reed meant everything to him and he did what he did all for him. Otto then asks what powers Andy and Lauren possess. Reed informs him of Lauren's shields and Andy's destructive power. Otto becomes distressed at the realization that he failed. "It came back", he utters.

Reed's father, Otto shows him pictures of his own father, Andreas and his aunt, Andrea who were terrorists, as well as mutants, who did unspeakable things. He proceeds to shows Reed newspaper clipping of their terror. Apart, they had the same abilities as Andy and Lauren, but together they were an unstoppable force known as Fenris - the Wolf. Andy and Lauren's mutation are inherited as Otto is also a mutant. His father and aunt tried to raise him to be like them but he ran away. He had hidden his powers from everyone, including Reed's mother. Their family's abilities set them apart even from other mutants, which is why Otto had to stop it.

This led him to Trask, where he worked on a project to eliminate the X-Gene and create a serum that worked on all mutants. Otto couldn't quite do it but managed to make a version of a serum that worked on one mutant and gave it to Reed. Reed realizes that his sickness as a child was due to the serum. It had to be done before any powers manifested. Reed was in such pain and Otto hated himself for it. So much so that he had become distant with Reed because he couldn't look him in the eyes after being responsible for putting him through that. He now realizes that all of it was for nothing.

Reed's father, Otto was simply trying to give him a normal life, so he never told Reed. Andreas and Andrea were monsters. He couldn't allow the same to come of Reed even if it wasn't guaranteed that he would. As for how much Reed's mother knew, all she really knew is that his father had secrets. That's what destroyed their relationship. Otto asks if Andy and Lauren have used their powers together, which they have a few times. He then asks if they ever held hands since they both discovered their powers. But before Reed can answer, Thunderbird comes in to tell them that Sentinel Services is outside.

Reed, Otto and Thunderbird watch from the window as Sentinel Services move in. Instantly, Thunderbird and Otto feel the hindering of their abilities. Unfortunately, there is no other way out. Without his powers, they won't stand a chance against the agents. They'll cut Thunderbird down the same as anyone else. Hearing this, Otto volunteers to go down there. First, he apologizes to Reed for his actions, then he tells him to not only protect Andy and Lauren, but to protect the world from them. Otto then gives Reed a hug before heading down to speak with Campbell and the agents.

Reed and Thunderbird wait upstairs, where they debate over whether or not they should go downstairs to help. Reed wants to head down, but Thunderbird convinces him otherwise as they have people back at the station who are counting on them. After the agents refuse to leave, Otto activates his powers, despite Pulse's presence. However, this results in the agents shooting him. He is hit with two bullets, but that doesn't stop him from unleashing the energy as a blast that sends Campbell and his men wounded and running. Following the blast, Reed and Thunderbird head downstairs, where they find Otto's lifeless body lying on the floor. Reed mourns his father's death.

Later that night, after taking their bodies from the antique shop, Reed and Thunderbird bury their loved ones off road in shallow graves. Thunderbird throws a handful of dirt on Pulse's grave. On his father's grave, Reed leaves the family photo of him, Caitlin, Andy and Lauren from last summer. Reed and John then return to the station soon thereafter, where Reed reveals to Caitlin, Andy and Lauren the death of his father. Learning this, Lauren and Andy hold hands while Caitlin comforts Reed.

"outfoX"[]

Caitlin joins Reed as he sits thinking. Reed can't sleep nor can he stop thinking about his dad. He hadn't spoken to him in 20 years and didn't think that losing him would hurt so bad, but it does. Caitlin can relate all too well. She imagines that it's worst when you're not close to someone who dies because you realize how much time you missed. Reed then tells Caitlin about his father's work and how he's the reason that Reed's powers never manifested. For those 2 years that Reed was sick, they thought he had Leukemia and it destroyed his family.


Reed finds Caitlin struggling with everything that has happened in recent weeks. While it isn't fair, Caitlin can't help but think how much different everything might be if Lauren had told them the truth about her being a mutant or if his father had just told everyone the truth. Reed doesn't want to think like that, but it's all Caitlin can do. Their whole lives could be different, from Reed's job to how they raised Andy and Lauren. Nonetheless, Reed explains that they did the best they could. He then looks to Caitlin and asks if she had known then what she knows now, would she have done anything differently between the two of them. Caitlin assures him that she wouldn't have. Hearing this, Reed shares one last thing with Caitlin, that Otto's father and Aunt, Andreas and Andrea, were terrorists and they had the same powers as Andy and Lauren. And when they combine those powers, they are massively destructive. Reed and Caitlin suspects that Andy and Lauren might be able to do the same thing and so they decide to test the theory.

After explaining the news to Lauren and Andy, Reed suggests that they test to see if the kids inherited the Fenris Force. They learned the hard way that discovering mutant abilities by accident isn't ideal so they decided to test it in a controlled environment. Reed, Caitlin, Lauren and Andy head to the vault, where Lauren and Andy conjoin hands. When nothing happens, Andy asks Lauren to try again. They join hands once more, and this time they begin to glow. The two begin to light up as their hair blows upward in a dramatic fashion. They proceed to build up their energy until Reed forcefully pulls their hands apart. Andy and Lauren explain that it was like they could feel everything around them and could've torn the entire building down with everyone in it. Reed and Caitlin are frightened.

Andy and Lauren explain that when they combined their powers, everything around them more so disappeared. They weren't two people anyone, but a conjoined force, almost as if they were seeing out of the same eyes. Reed recalls them saying that they could've destroyed the building. He questions how they knew that. Lauren replies that she could feel it. Andy wants to practice to hone this newly discovered ability, but Lauren agrees with their parents in it being too dangerous. Andy storms off when Reed points out that he can barely control his own powers let alone his and Lauren's.

The Underground hatches a plan to take down Trask Industries. So they call down the Struckers to ask Lauren and Andy can assist in disengaging the substation transformers, similar to how they stopped the prison convoy. While it is admittedly a lot to ask, they feel as if they have no other choice as everyone else with combat powers will be assaulting the lab. Hopefully, they can take down the power substation without putting Andy and Lauren in danger. Sage hacked the security cameras and the station only has a handful of guards.

Clarice will portal everyone in, and from there, Sonya will guide them. They'd been through every option. Unfortunately, the plan with Lauren and Andy is the only one that can work. Having said that, both Lauren and Andy are willing to help in whatever way they can. Reed and Caitlin agree to allow the kids to take out the transformers, but only if they can monitor security. With a plan set in motion, they'll be moving out within the hour.

As Blink drives Reed, Caitlin, Lauren, Andy and Dreamer to the power station, Reed informs Thunderbird that they are in route. Caitlin then tells Andy and Lauren that what they're doing is a parents' worst nightmare. But they're doing it because they trust Andy and Lauren. They arrive at the power station soon thereafter. Reed then calls Sage to inform her of their arrival. Sage bypasses the fire wall, allowing Caitlin and Reed to view the security footage from the truck. She looped the feed so that security wouldn't see their team but they would notice eventually. Blink then rips open a portal for Dreamer, Andy, Lauren and herself to go through, leading them into the building.

With Reed and Caitlin in her ear, Dreamer, Blink, Lauren, and Andy progress forward into the power station, avoiding security and other personnel. Reed and Caitlin inform the team that the next few hallways are clear. Reed assures Caitlin that they're going to be alright but Caitlin can't help but worry. Caitlin wonders how Reed used to deal with the nerves whenever he went on busts. Reed tells her the first few times he threw up, which he never told her because they were still dating and he was trying to impress her. Reed found that if he focuses just on his plan, it gets better. Now their plan is to watch over the kids to keep them safe.

As Dreamer, Blink, Lauren and Andy proceed throughout the building, Reed and Caitlin alert them of a quickly approaching Sentinel robot and armed team. As the alarm begins to sound, the team begins looking for an exit, but they ultimately fail to get away. First Blink is apprehended. Then Dreamer. Andy and Lauren make it to the basement, but there is nowhere for them to go. Caitlin and Reed watches this unfold from the surveillance van. Caitlin wants to go in and help, but Reed convinces her to stay back as they can't help the kids if they get captured too. Andy and Lauren are then surrounded by numerous Sentinel Services agents, and told to get down on their knees. They do as they are told. Mutant Inhibitor Collars are then placed on them and they are arrested. All the while Caitlin and Reed watch helplessly from the van as this occurs. Caitlin, crying hysterically as Reed comforts her.

"eXploited"[]

The Mutant Underground is under distress following the apprehension of Dreamer, Blink, Andy and Lauren by Sentinel Services. Lorna wants to move in now to retrieve the team, but Reed and Caitlin argue that hitting Sentinel Services is far too risky. She reminds them that it isn't just her people with Sentinel Services, they also have Andy and Lauren, though Caitlin needs no reminder. John grows tired of their senseless bickering and breaks the table in a fit of rage while demanding that they stop because there is no more "yours" or "ours".

Andy, Lauren, Sonya and Clarice are all of their people. While Reed argues that going in weapons drawn will only get someone hurt, Lorna worries that the longer they wait, the greater the risk of their friends being turned into Hounds become. As Lorna, Reed and Caitlin go back and forth, Marcos reminds them that the enemy is Sentinel Services and Trask Industries. So he wants to set up scouts to possibly get eyes on their people. John agrees and decides to send out Sage and Shatter while checking in with their police contacts.

Reed and Caitlin try to take a more political route in retrieving Andy and Lauren. Just outside their door, Esme eavesdrops on their conversation while also looking through Reed's thoughts. She sees Reed's encounter with Sentinel Services. Esme then enters the room to tell them that they are right about not attacking Sentinel Services as they both have family inside and another attack will only get them killed. She explains that it is a human problem that requires a human solution and Reed and Caitlin are the only ones who understood that. She suggests going to Agent Turner and trying to appeal to him. Reed and Caitlin are skeptical due to their past with Turner, but Esme tells them that they can try to convince Agent Turner to take the mutants out of Trask labs and to do the right thing. Better them sitting in jail then being inject with drugs and turned into Hounds. Andy and Lauren's powers in the wrong hands can change everything.

Reed and Caitlin discuss the risk they take with Esme's plan. At least in jail, Andy and Lauren will have a chance. In that lab, they'll be turned into Hounds. So if they'e going to do it, they need to do it now. Without telling anyone since the Underground doesn't want them talking to anyone, much less a Sentinel Services agent.

Caitlin wonders how they will even go about getting in contact with him. Reed suggests approaching him at home. The file work from the courthouse had the addresses of all the agents on the program, which includes Agent Turner. Caitlin tells Reed to get the address while she gets supplies and keys to a car.

Reed and Caitlin pull into Turner's neighborhood. It reminds them of their own neighborhood. Reed wonders how Patriotic they'd feel if they knew their fellow Americans were being used as Science experiments. Honestly, Caitlin believes that a lot of people would be fine with it, just as they were before everything that happened. Caitlin then turns her attention back to Turner.

Reed wants to at least try to convince him to do the right thing. Turner on some level Reed believes is a good man, but he's just angry. Caitlin pulls a gun out of the glove compartment just in case things go wrong. When Reed asks if she's sure she wants to do this, she replies that her dad put a gun in her hand when she was 4 years old. As they arrive at the Tunrer's house, Reed and Caitlin force their way in with a gun.

Reed and Caitlin are told by Jace that kidnapping him and Paula will only hurt their cause. Furthermore, Sentinel Services doesn't negotiate with terrorist. Reed explains that it isn't a kidnapping and that they aren't terrorist. At the end of this, they're going to walk away. What happens after that is up to Turner. Caitlin explains that they're only there to talk about their kids and the other mutants who are being tortured. So Paula decides to hear them out.

Reed and Caitlin are there because they've seen Agent Turner's record and more importantly because he's a father who has dealt with the pain of seeing his child get caught up in a war that they did not start, a war that began before they were even born. Reed and Caitlin want the Hound program shut down. But Agent Turner isn't willing to let an entire facility full of criminals to go free. All Reed is asking is that he uphold the constitution. However, Agent Turner counters that everything going on at Trask labs has been authorized by Congress.


Reed and Caitlin continue to plead their case to free Andy and Lauren along with the other mutants. While Reed insists that Turner knows what Trask is doing is wrong, Turner counters that what they're doing is perfectly legal. However, as Reed points out, that doesn't make it right. But the matter isn't up for debate as far as Turner is concerned. He reminds Reed that Andy and Lauren were apprehended attacking a key infrastructure facility. Which makes them terrorists. Whatever their circumstances, Turner points out that at least their kids are alive. Meanwhile, his daughter is dead.

Caitlin then speaks up. She knows how upsetting this must be for Turner with them at his house as she recalls him coming into her house with a gun. So she's going to say what she has to say, then she and Reed are going to leave. Caitlin tells Paula that she's seen first hand what the Hound program does to people. It pumps the mutants full of drugs until they are helplessly addicted. They're also given mental conditioning so that they have to do as told. And then they are sent to kill everyone they love. They may be alive, but that's worse than death. Reed and Caitlin then exit the Turner's home.

Reed and Caitlin are confronted by Harry as soon as they return to the station after learning that they went to Agent Turner. Reed and Caitlin can't make sense of why Esme would tell everyone about their plan as she was the one that suggested it. They're now realizing that Esme has been lying to everyone.

"3 X 1"[]

A couple of days later, the Mutant Underground holds a funeral for Sonya. The entire station is in attendance. After Marcos and Lorna say a few kind words on her behalf, the Struckers place flowers on her grave.

Caitlin asks Andy and Lauren if they want to talk about what went down in the lab and Sonya's death, but they would rather not as talking about it only makes them feel worse. Reed understands that the station is now filled with difficult memories. It's one of the reasons that he and Caitlin have been considering moving on. However, Andy and Lauren disagree with their decision to abandon the station as they see it as giving up. Reed and Caitlin almost lost them a few days ago and don't want to risk that happening again. Besides, there was a lot of tension that they don't want to get caught in the middle of. They want to head up to Mexico as planned, but Andy and Lauren believe they can make a difference while with the Underground.

Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of the Frost Sisters. They've come peacefully as they only desire to talk about the Hound program, which is expanding, and they want the Underground's help in taking it down. However, Marcos and Reed are still upset that Esme used and lied to them. Admittedly, Esme mislead them, but she also saved their children and her family. The ends justify the means as far as she is concerned. They need the Underground's help because Sentinel Services knows what they look like. So they can't take them on by themselves. They have information about Dr. Campbell's plans and resources to share. Meanwhile, the Underground has the muscle. While Reed, Caitlin and Marcos refuse to even consider an alliance of any kind, John seems more willing though he does kick them out after hearing what they have to offer.

After reaching out to the Fairburn station, Reed and Caitlin begin packing their belongings. Marcos finds them as they're doing so. He's surprised that they're leaving now despite all that has just happened. They are needed at the station, especially the help Caitlin has been giving with the school. But, they feel that it's time to move on, more so with Esme and her sisters coming back. Marcos doesn't want to align with them either, which is why the Underground needs to stick together, but Reed claims it's too late for that.

The last time, Esme played them all against each other. They can't risk that she might do that again. Not to mention that she has already turned some of the mutants at the station against them because they talked to Agent Turner.The next day, as the Strucker prepare to leave the station, Marcos brings them out some supplies as there isn't much to the Fairbun station. It's basically a meeting point for people heading South. Marcos shakes Reed's hand and gives Caitlin a hug after telling them to stick to the back roads and follow the speed limit.

The Struckers arrive at the Fairburn stationThe Struckers arrive at the Fairburn station some time later. When they enter, the station is seemingly vacant. However, as they proceed forward they learn that Wes is merely creating an illusion of an empty station. Lauren is thrilled to see him and they embrace. He'd been helping out with security, ensuring that no one sees them there unless they want to be seen. Lauren informs Wes that they're leaving for Mexico. They've got about 20 mutants and they're still arranging a ride. So until then, Wes gets them some dinner. Reed notes that it's good to see Wes again, before he heads off with Lauren to catch up. When Caitlin points out how relaxed Reed is with Wes, Reed explains that he's just happy to see Lauren smiling again.

Caitlin, Reed and Andy at the Fairburn stationThe next day, at the Fairburn station, Reed tells Caitlin that he checked in with the transport people and there's a trucking company that might be able to help them. But there's still a chance they could stay longer, allowing Lauren to spend more time with Wes. Assuming they are staying, Andy wants to go back to Atlanta, but Reed reminds him that the whole point of leaving was to get away from Atlanta. Caitlin reminds him that they've already talked about this. Just as it seems that Andy is about to speak to his parents, Sentinel Services arrive. With the Inertia and Gravity Hound, who are wearing some kind of manacle that allows them to combine abilities, they snatch an entire window out of the building.

Fortunately, Wes manages to create an illusion and cloak them in time before they are spotted. Wes tells them to make a run for it while he covers them, but Andy wants to fight. He looks to Lauren for help, but before they can join hands, Andy is is struck with a massive wave of energy and knocked unconscious. As Reed and Caitlin check on Andy, they get a call from Thunderbird, who is aware of the attack, and is in route to the station with Polaris, Eclipse and Blink to save them. Unfortunately, Andy is hurt and still unconscious. Caitlin fears that moving him will only make matters worse. Wes' mirage is hiding them, but he can't keep it up forever.

As Wes struggles to maintain the mirage, Reed and Caitlin tend to Andy as he bleeds from his head. Thunderbird, Eclipse, Polaris and Blink make their way through the station while it is under constant fire. Unfortunately, Wes is able to maintain the illusion no more, making the Struckers vulnerable to attack. Lauren, however, shields them from Sentinel Services' gunfire. Thunderbird, Eclipse, Polaris and Blink find the Struckers and Wes on the south end and see them to safety though it is no easy task as the Hounds continuously strike the building with great power. Thunderbird, Eclipse, Polaris Blink, Lauren, Wes, Andy, Reed and Caitlin quietly move throughout the woods, hoping not to alert any nearby agents. To make matters worse, Thunderbird's foresight reveals that their car has been discovered.

Andy then jumps to his feet and leads the group out of the woods, claiming that "they" said it was safe. "They" turn out to be the Frost Sisters, who are waiting by the road with escape vehicles. After getting back to Headquarters, Reed watches over a sleeping Andy while Caitlin monitors Wes. Andy wakes up, but Reed tells him to rest as he has a concussion. He also deserves to rest after saving them in the woods. But Andy reveals that it was the Frost Sisters who saved them as they led him through the woods.

Character traits[]

Reed is originally an ambitious attorney trying to balance the demands of his job at the DA's office with his responsibilities to his family. Despite taking a job that involved prosecuting mutants, prior to him discovering that he is one himself, Reed does not have any ill will towards mutants and accepts his children even though they are mutants and even tries to help Lorna Dane when it is revealed she is pregnant.

Reed has a warm and caring heart, as he will do anything for his family and the Mutant Underground.

Unlike Reed's son, Andy, he is appalled by the actions that his grandfather, Andreas von Strucker and his great-aunt, Andrea von Strucker, had committed, as he believed them to be nothing more "psychotic murders", matching the opinion of his father, Otto Strucker.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Mutant Physiology: Reed is an extremely powerful mutant who possesses disintegration, ergogenesis and ergokinesis.
    • Disintegration: Reed can disintegrates several different types of matter. Whenever Reed utilizes his disintegration powers, energy flows through his right arm with a single touch.
    • Ergogenesis: Reed can generate, create and project several different types of energy from his entire body.
    • Ergokinesis: Reed can manipulate several different types of energy. He unleashed a massive wave of bright red energy that, was capable of completely destroying the top of the building of the Hellfire Club's headquarters.

Weaknesses[]

  • Involuntary Control: Due to the fact that Reed's powers had been suppressed for 30 years by a serum used on him by his father, Otto Strucker, he is unable to control his disintegration powers as he lacked the training and experience to control them and they involuntarily activate when Reed is emotionally under stress. As of "iMprint", Reed has been unable to turn off his disintegration powers.
  • Limitations: Although Reed is incredibly powerful, he does have his limits. Reed is unable to disintegrate Lauren Strucker's force fields. It is currently unknown what effect, his disintegration powers would have on adamantium.

Trivia[]

  • Reed's first name is a reference to Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, who also has a mutant son, named Franklin. While his last name is in reference to Hydra leader Wolfgang von Strucker, who had twin mutant children just like Reed.
  • Reed was born with the "X-Gene", therefore, he has the potential to develop super powers, but was stripped of his powers by a serum used on him by his father, Otto Strucker, before they could manifest, thus, leaving the nature of his mutant powers unknown at the time. However, the effects of the serum failed and Reed's mutant powers emerged.
