Who is Madrox?

Origin The Birth of The Multiple Man Jamie Madrox is son of Daniel and Joan, born in September 7, 1953 In the town of Los Alamos, New Mexico. He was a handsome baby. It was immediately apparent that Jamie Madrox was a mutant as soon as he was born. When the doctor performed the old-fashioned smack to encourage the baby to cry & breathe a twin suddenly appeared. However, it wasn't a twin, but a duplicate. James Arthur Madrox was a rarity amongst mutants, in that his mutation was clear from birth, instead of waiting to develop in his teenaged years. He would uncontrollably form a duplicate of himself upon physical impact. This was a shocking experience to the doctor and to his parents as well.
