Kyle Trager is portrayed by Matt Dallas on the television series, Kyle XY. Kyle is a product of an experiment done by a group of scientists who aimed to test the effects of extending natural pregnancy by implanting human embryos into surrogate human mothers. Also a child born out of a successful experiment, Adam Baylin, moved on and created Kyle using his own DNA. Adam developed a chamber which served as the womb where Kyle developed. Kyle grew up to be a boy without an umbilical cord and belly button living inside that chamber, until he woke up in the middle of the forest, and was covered in pink fluid. He was later taken under the care of the Trager family, who willingly helped him uncover the mystery of his identity.
