Five is one of the seven children that Reginald Hargreeves had adopted, and one of the forty-three children born with superpowers. His ability is time manipulation, and at age 13 during a family breakfast, he asked their dad if he can time travel which gained a refusal from Reginald. Being his stubborn self, Five stormed out of the house and attempted to time travel despite Reginald's warnings about him not being ready, not knowing that their youngest sibling was following him.
