Character's biography

Predator X is a group of artificial, mutant-hunting creatures created by the Weapon Plus program to combat the coming of the "mutant Anti-Christ". They were augmented with Mercury's metal, leaving her physically and mentally traumatized. After being scarred by Dust, Matthew Risman is fixated on training Predator X to kill her. Despite this, Predator X senses the mutant it was originally created to destroy, turns, and heads off to find it as the Purifiers follow. In Messiah Complex, Predator X arrives in Cooperstown, Alaska looking for the child with the X-Gene, pausing to eat the bodies of Blockbuster and Prism. In the process, it also kills an unnamed fire-breathing mutant and Peepers. Predator X later attacks the X-Mansion, recovering and consuming the bodies of several mutants who were killed in a Purifier attack before being killed by Wolverine. Following the events of Utopia, Scalphunter is kidnapped by a group of non-mutant superhumans. When the X-Men attempt to rescue him, several Predators attack them before being killed. A sixth Predator X operated in New York City before being killed by Fantomex.
