Summary
Tim learns that Jack Drake isn't his biological father, and only has "small" clues to figure out who is.
Such as an outrageous healing factor that he has to hide from the bats.
oh and the fucking bone claw that sprouts from the back of both of his hands gives him a pretty clear message.

Bookmarker's Notes
Professor Charles Xavier, wrote that while the Meta gene could be documented and traced through a lineage until an ancestor that was affected by an incident from an outside means, the ‘X’ gene popped up in those with no outside interference.
Meaning that, according to the professor, Metas were the results of a bloodline being enhanced by the likes of aliens, like Superman; gods, like Wonder Woman; or by scientific mishaps, like the Flash. Those that possessed the ‘X’ genome instead, were considered mutants, or the result of the world’s natural progression.

Bookmarker's Notes
It's a common misconception that Buck trained to be a Navy SEAL. For as long as he could remember, flying had been his dream. Most little kids wanted to be a firefighter or an astronaut, but Buck had always wanted to be a pilot.
He wanted to fly far, far away from home, where his parents’ comments that might as well have been slaps for how badly they stung couldn’t get to him. Flying was his way out. His escape. If he was thousands of feet up in the sky, way up with the clouds, then his parents couldn’t touch him. No one could.
When Buck got pulled from the reserves just after the lawsuit, it seemed like perfect timing. There was nothing left for him in LA. Not anymore.
So, it looked like Buck was heading back to Top Gun.
