Subject: How many of you know who Michaer's real father is?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
AJ Quartermaine, Jason's brother

Brief Character History

Michael Corinthos III has had more fathers, more addresses, and more last names than probably anyone! But if your mother were Carly Benson, it would be a safe bet that she'd keep your life interesting too.

Michael was conceived on a night in 1997 when Carly went to bed with two men; the man she loved, Dr. Tony Jones, and a man she turned to when she was hurting, A.J. Quartermaine. Fears that AJ was the father of her baby led Carly to take drastic measures to get AJ out of her life!

After convincing AJ he couldn't be the father, Carly was free to raise her child with Tony. But Carly and Tony's relationship hit the skids, and Carly claimed that her friend Jason Morgan was the father of her baby! Jason let the pregnant Carly move into his penthouse with him, and agreed to let everyone think he'd fathered her child, to keep Carly safe from custody lawsuits.

Carly gave birth to a baby boy right before the end of the year, and, unable to face motherhood, Carly left town and left her baby in Jason's care. Jason named the little boy Michael, after his best friend Michael "Sonny" Corinthos Jr., and had him baptized, which Carly returned in time to witness. Jason quickly bonded with Michael and came to think of himself as the baby's real father. Jason couldn't keep the truth from the woman he loved, and told Robin Scorpio about Michael's real paternity.

Tony was devastated to learn he wasn't the father of Carly's baby and he soon went from "Mr. Nice Guy" to one of the most loathed citizens in Port Charles. Tony kidnapped Michael and planned on running away with him. Robin, who knew the truth about Michael's paternity, realized that Tony was keeping Michael and confronted him. Tony then held Robin hostage as well, but Jason quickly rescued her and Michael.

Tony went on trial, and when Tony only received a slap on the wrist for kidnapping Michael, Carly lost control and grabbed an officer's gun and shot Tony in the courtroom. Tony quickly recovered from his injuries, but Carly was sent away to the Ferncliff psychiatric facility.

Jason and Robin were back together and Jason wanted to guarantee that Robin and Michael would always be safe. To that end, Jason met with his rival, Moreno, and announced his resignation from the organization. Jason went to work as a mechanic and he and Robin moved into Brenda's vacant cottage with Michael.

Robin and Jason were very much in love. One day, Jason returned to the garage and was shocked to find AJ there alone with Michael. Jason was furious and couldn't accept the fact that Robin had no choice but to leave Michael with AJ. Jason felt betrayed and a rift developed between him and Robin. Jason and Robin quickly reconciled, but Robin was concerned over Jason's deep attachment to Michael. Robin also continued to worry about what the future would hold once Carly was released from Ferncliff and hated the fact that her and Jason's lives revolved around Carly. To add to the mess, AJ was determined to win Carly over to his side in order to score points with Edward. The Quartermaines were set on bringing Michael into the family fold and making him one of their own, which was something Jason vowed would never happen.

Jason proved to Carly that he could still make things happen even after leaving the organization when he arranged for her release from Ferncliff. Carly moved into the cottage with Jason, Michael and Robin and secretly planned on a future of her own with Jason. The tension between Robin and Carly was palpable.

In 1999, Robin was thrilled when Sonny returned to Port Charles as she hoped he would be able to help her with Carly, who continued to use Michael to manipulate Jason. Robin reached her breaking point when Jason announced that he was going to move into the brownstone with Carly and Michael in order to solve everyone's problems. Robin was stunned by Jason's "solution" and they broke up. Thinking she was protecting Jason from future pain at the hands of Carly, Robin did the unthinkable. Robin went to AJ and told him the truth - AJ, not Jason, was Michael's biological father. Jason was furious over Robin's betrayal and made it clear he would never forgive her.

AJ shocked the Quartermaines with the news about Michael and battle lines were quickly drawn. Jason assured Carly that no one would take Michael away from him and they prepared to do battle with the Quartermaines.

Jason and Carly planned to leave Port Charles and go on the run with Michael. Jason left town with Michael and Carly planned on joining them later. Carly, however, changed her mind and didn't rendezvous with Jason as planned. Instead, Carly went to the Quartermaine mansion and said that Jason had kidnapped Michael. Carly started spinning a tale of lies and was able to convince the Quartermaines that she was on their side. Carly even moved into the mansion!

Sonny was furious over what Carly had done to Jason and he told Jason about Carly's betrayal. Sonny was then incredulous when Jason defended Carly and decided to return to Port Charles with Michael. Alone with Jason, Carly explained herself and told Jason of her latest plan. Carly planned on winning AJ over to her side and then marrying him. Carly explained that she would then divorce AJ and return to Jason with Michael. Jason didn't think Carly's plan would work, but he went along with it anyway. Alexis agreed to represent Jason in his custody battle against the Quartermaines.

Jason was forced to take Michael to the Quartermaine mansion to live. Jason also lost visitation rights to Michael. Carly was determined to keep custody of Michael and end her marriage to AJ, but AJ made it clear that neither Carly nor Michael would be going anywhere.

Upset about Jason's growing closeness with sweet Elizabeth Webber in 2000, Carly sought comfort in the arms of Sonny and got pregnant. After an unsuccessful attempt to seduce AJ so she could pass the baby off as his, Sonny figured out that Carly was carrying his child. He freed Carly of AJ and the Quartermaines, got her a quickie divorce, and moved her and Michael from the Quartermaine mansion to his penthouse.

Sonny and Carly's happiness was shattered when Carly lost her unborn baby after falling down the stairs at the Quartermaine mansion while arguing with AJ. Sonny and Carly were both devastated by their loss.

Carly was hopeful for a future with Sonny, but became heartbroken when she overheard Sonny refer to her and Michael as being obligations. Carly wanted Sonny to be with her because he wanted to, not because he thought he had to. To that end, Carly surprised Sonny when she announced that she and Michael were moving into the brownstone. Neither Sonny nor Carly really wanted to change their living arrangement, but both were too stubborn to admit their true feelings. Carly remained at the brownstone for the time being and she and Sonny missed many opportunities to connect. Eventually, Sonny and Carly admitted their feelings and married in a church wedding.

On Sonny's birthday in 2001, Sonny's rival Sorel sent a bomb to Sonny's penthouse, disguised as a birthday gift. Michael wanted to open it, but Sonny discovered what the present really was before Michael could be hurt. Shaken by the close call, Carly asked Roy to set up a deal with the FBI so that Sonny would roll over on his associates, and Sonny, Carly, and Michael would go into the Witness Protection Program.

Carly soon got Sonny arrested, and tried to convince Sonny to go along with the deal being offered to him. Once Sonny learned how deeply Carly had betrayed him, Sonny kicked her and Michael out of the penthouse and out of his life.

Meanwhile, AJ made plans to get Michael back. Who should move into town soon thereafter? AJ's illegitimate older sister, Skye Chandler. AJ at first distrusted Skye, but soon saw value in her. Putting their scheming heads together, AJ and Skye devised a plan in which Skye would cozy up to Carly, to give AJ a clear shot at Michael. AJ and Skye's plans hit a snag when Sonny's men kidnapped AJ and forced him to sign away his rights to Michael.

Carly and Sonny eventually reunited and have been raising Michael together, with the continued help of Leticia.

In 2003, Carly became pregnant, and Michael looked forward to becoming a big brother. That summer, Michael was traumatized by seeing his mother kidnapped, and Sonny and Jason were eventually able to get him to admit to seeing Sonny's vengeful half-brother Ric Lansing take Carly that fateful night. Michael was thrilled when his mother finally came home.

Carly gave birth to baby boy Morgan Corinthos, but Carly and Sonny's marriage dissolved once again. Carly became involved with Lorenzo Alcazar, while Sonny dallied with sexy Sam McCall! Michael hated both of the new people in his life, and even faked his own kidnapping to try to bring his parents back together. When that didn't work, Michael offered to have Jason pay Sam whatever she wanted so she'd leave Port Charles and never look back!

[> Poor Michael has had a horrible life. I wonder how the character would have turned out if he'd been raised a Q? Probably still pretty messed up but not as bad. -- cyndi, 21:42:23 06/16/11 Thu (99-194-215-243.dyn.centurytel.net/99.194.215.243)
