I definitely don't think it's impossible that he's the child of a random nobody and I really dislike the thinking that all people of great power are from powerful lineages. Case and point: Urek Mazino, Enryu, Grace Mirchea Luslec, Molic One P. GR, Yu Han Sung etc. these are all powerful people who have not come from a powerful family and are powerful in and of their own right.

We already know that all known Irregulars in-universe (excluding Rachel) are overwhelmingly powerful and/or possess incredible and unique abilities, so it would stand to reason that Baam is the same. Enryu could create 9000 baangs and life itself, Phantaminum is an Axis, Urek Mazino was already monstrously powerful the moment he entered the Tower. Baam's uniqueness as an Irregular would be he's a shinsoo genius and can mimic shinsoo techniques after seeing them once.

With all that said, I no longer think I'll be too surprised if Baam does come from a powerful lineage.
