Editing Relentless (section)

== Background and Continuity ==

In this universe Relentless and her brother were children kidnapped by Mastermind as members of what he believes is the next stage of human evolution.  Raised in his secret flying mountain lair with other mutant children they were trained in combat and highly educated so that, as they were taught by Mastermind, they could one day take their rightful place as masters of the human species.  Fortunately Relentless was too smart to believe him, and Dauntless too dumb.  Desiring to know what the outside world was ''really'' like, and being rebellious teenagers, they "ran away to join the Freedom League".  Obviously they wound up at Claremont.  Relentless hopes one day they can go back and "convince Dad to let everyone else live their own lives".

(It should be noted that unlike the usual sociopathic father-figure at the center of these sorts of stories Mastermind is actually a pretty nice guy.  He's just a racist.  Therefore his "children" have been raised to be cooperative and helpful to one another, not the "strong use the weak as a footstool" approach one might expect.)
