Dr. Hayes was a rogue geneticist and the grandmother of Molly Hayes.
History
Origin[]
Living in the Hollywood Hills, Dr. Hayes raised her daughter, Alice, and her adoptive son, Gene, a young runaway. Beginning at an early age, Dr. Hayes began to repeatedly experiment with Alice and Gene's genetic make-up to create X-Genes and eventually granted both of them identical telepathic abilities.[2]

Eventually, Alice and Gene were married.[3][4][5] Sometime after their marriage, the couple was summoned by the Gibborim to be a part of the criminal organization called the Pride.[4][6] Dr. Hayes strenuously objected to their participation in the Pride, and the couple's continued activity with the Pride seemed to cause a rift between them and Dr. Hayes.[7]
Runaways[]
After discovering their parents' criminal activity, their children ran away.[8] When the Pride died, the Runaways were briefly put into foster care and Molly Hayes was placed at an X-Corporation facility until they ran away again.[9]
After several adventures, the Runaways began to grow apart. Following Nico Minoru and Victor Mancha leaving the team, Molly and Klara were again taken into foster care by the state; Molly was ultimately placed with her grandmother.[10]
Molly thrived while living with her grandmother.[10][5] Although she was aware of some of her grandmother's unsavory genetic experimentations, she believed that she would be safe with her.[11] While Molly was living with her, her grandmother began to make a clone of her daughter.[1][12]
