Fictional character biography

Much of Gateway's past remains a mystery to this day, including where exactly he was born and even his name. It is known that he is an Aborigine who appears to have grown up in the Outback. Australian Aborigines are the main indigenous people of Australia. ...

It is known that he was forced to join the criminal group known as the Reavers after they discovered his powers and threatened to destroy a place sacred to the Aborigines if he didn't follow their orders. They called him "Gateway" in reference to his ability to create gateways between two points in space. Some time later, the X-Men, who had been believed by the world to have been killed in Dallas, Texas, appeared in the Outback and battled the Reavers in their own headquarters. One of the Reavers, Skullbuster, in attempting to escape the fracas, told Gateway that he would release him of all his obligations to them if he helped them escape, which Gateway did.

However, the X-Men eventually went back to the United States, and were discovered by the rest of the world to be alive, and Gateway's close association with them ended.

More recently, he appeared at the Xavier Institute in Massachusetts, where Generation X was training, with a young girl. When he encountered Banshee, he simply spoke her name, "Penance", much to the surprise of Generation X member M, who also apparently knows him, and disappeared. This may have something to do with his feelings of guilt over his part in the downfall of the Hellions.

Here it was also revealed that he is virtually omniscient, as he is described as "the repository of the knowledge of humanity, the living index of every hard earned scrap of information gleaned in our ascent from mindless savagery." What he has been doing since then is largely unknown, but he has been revealed in X-Men: The 198 Files, that is one of the mutants to have retained his powers after the M-Day.
