History

Santi being ignored in class

Origin

Santi Sardina was an average student though generally teased, being called an awkward loser. He was uncomfortable in his own skin and enjoyed drawing, but had few other talents.

Gloryhog

When his mutant powers manifested, Santi began to receive a lot of praise and admiration for things he had not done. Initially, Santi enjoyed the positive attention, but quickly grew frustrated with the idea of being a fraud.

With a little influence from David Haller, Santi began anonymously painting the "Losergiest" art series, a collection of raw work about dispossession, guilt, and pop-infused ambition.

Santi later helped David disband the I.B.S.S./Darwin's Martyrs and foil the plans of the Red Skull.
