What if Jax used to be a Minion?

Well think about it... no one really knows where he came from... or... what he did before he came to the League apart from being a no name merc, we just know that the doors opened immediately, even the reason behind that is unknown. But what we do know is this: He looks somewhat like a beefed out tall minion, he wears similar clothing, with the hood and the mask with dots on it for eyes without really any face, and he doesn't speak much... just like a minion.

His animations, his kit and his gameplay are very influenced by what minions do, just... going there... and hitting them, simple and effective, he just does it extremely well. I mean... his passive lets him hit stuff faster, his w and ult make you hit with more magic damage, and when you activate his ult you get boosts that allow you to live longer and thus hit your opponent more. But whats most important is that these are all things minions can do when they have the baron buff, perhaps to a different extent than Jax, but still within the minion's reach. His other abilities are to jump and then hit something, which... I would imagine a minion could learn, and the counter strike... Well I can't really think of an explanation for that one but...

What if Jax was minion who somehow realized how to access parts of the baron buff, escaped the league and made his name as a mercenary, learning how to jump and counter along the way. Time passed, he returned to the place that was once his home proud as the doors swung wide open with his return... he went on to the rift and had only one thing to say "Surprise... I'm back."

Well new lore indicates he could potentially be Icathian so...

Also there is no League in the lore anymore. Got booted from the canon.

Yeah it's pretty much confirmed in new lore that Jax was Icathian, and likely the only survivor of the fall of icathia.
