Kane was a former member of Cable's mercenary team called Six Pack. He was the youngest member, and often immature compared to the veteran mercs. Still, he handled himself well enough on the field. On a Six Pack mission, the team was ambushed by Cable's clone Stryfe.

Thinking it would save the team, Kane's friend Hammer tried to hand over vital information Cable needs. Cable ended up shooting Hammer, paralyzing him. Prevented from rescuing the entire team, Cable fled through time, leaving his friends. In the ensuing destruction, Kane lost his arms and legs.

Cybernetics: Kane possessed various superhuman abilities as a result of cybernetic enhancement using both 21st and 40th century technology.
