Rusty never managed to complete his college education, even though it was really going nowhere to begin with. When he woke up one morning with three faces he knew his normal, laid-back life was over. Later that same morning he was nearly beaten to death by his fraternity brothers and only escaped because they thought he was dead and went to find some other amusement.

He spent some time hiding in abandoned warehouses and even in cemeteries, shunning society as it would surely shun him. He stole what he needed and tried to simply vanish. Seattle was home to a band of outsiders: ubers and other freaks of society who banded together to survive. Rusty found himself accepted in the underground tunnel systems and became known as 'Happy Face'. With a little more security he began to look for ways to improve his lot, and discovered that there was a real need for quality counterfeiters in the area. He was apprenticed to the Frog Prince and began to excel at false IDs and counterfeit credit cards. The 666 Gang became interested in his skills and persuaded him to leave the Outsiders and join their posse. Rusty was attracted to Damien's charisma and downed tools in the Frog Prince's cavern and went to work for the opposition.

During his time with the 666 Gang Rusty discovered that he had some control over his physical form and began to experiment, casting off his codename of 'Happy Face' and taking on the name of 'Morph'. While his skills at counterfeiting and shapeshifting increased his reliance on the 666 Gang and the hidden world of the street ubers diminished. He realised he simply didn't need them anymore, so one night he left.

He got on a bus and made his way to New York City. Within weeks he had set himself up as a counterfeiter and small time mercenary. While there was initially some resentment from the established criminal syndicates, Rusty's command over his appearance meant he could evade them until they had realised that he would be better as an ally than a corpse. He went into business for all the main criminal families, using a different alias and form for each.

He eventually crossed paths with the FBI and got a taste for the 'bigger game'. He decided to test his powers against superheroes and travelled to Argus City where he impersonated Jack of Hearts for a month and managed to live the life of a hero without having to worry about all of the hero's codes. As Jack of Hearts he spent a lot of time living the fast life which gave Jack a bad reputation and resulted in Jack of Hearts developing an ongoing hatred for Rusty. The shape shifter tired of this game and travelled further south where he came into contact with Venom and briefly joined their team of criminals as Tarantula. He managed to swindle the team out of eight million dollars and fled.

It's not precisely clear how he managed to join S.U.M.M.I.T. or take on the name Rushmore, but by 2006 he was a regular member of the team. He has given up the need for serial betrayal and apart from making lifelong enemies of Venom and Jack of Hearts, he has proven himself to be quite loyal to S.U.M.M.I.T.

Rushmore is an uber with some control over his physical form. Initially this manifested as three separate faces, but has developed to a point where he can change his appearance to look like nearly anyone (even though his default form is the three-faced one). He is able to manipulate his body to produce a variety of physical powers such as hardened skin; extra arms, legs and sensory organs; enhanced physical attributes or weapons made out of his bare hands. There seems to be no limit to the changes he can make, although he can only manage one major change at a time.

Rushmore is able to change his physical appearance but this takes effort. When he is not concentrating he looks like a bit of a slob, with a beer gut and dry skin. His most obvious feature is his three faces, each one looking the same but looking out at a slightly different angle. As Rushmore he usually wears the faces of three presidents, but this changes according to his mood.
