History
Owen and Brenda Gwynn were part of a general expulsion of X-Gene positive families from the United Kingdom, along with their granddaughter Megan, and others such as Jonothon Starsmore and Elizabeth Braddock.[1]
The plan was to exile them on a series of small islands in the Irish Sea. That plan became moot when Irish separatists bombed one of the ships carrying the passengers. The others ships turned back except of one who was seized control of it by the The Mutant Liberation Front (with Megan on-board, and possibly Starsmore and Braddock too) and ultimately were able to berth it at the Canadian port of Saguenay.[1]
It is unknown if the Gwynn grandparents were killed before Ireland, or if they landed in Canada, but they were stated to have somehow died.[1]
