    Bloodbath's time on Earth:

    Bloodbath has a position in the demon world similar to a freelancer, he kills and "reaps souls slated for damnation" for a commission on said souls. When he witnessed Hangman (minion empowered by Satannish) escape Hell, Bloodbath followed him to Earth and blackmailed Hangman into killing 500 people... at the expense of losing his ex-wife and their secret child.

    Unbeknownst to Hangman, Bloodbath still went back on his word and killed the mother.. intentionally drawing the attention of the last people she saw in contact with: X-factor. X-factor agents (Jamie, Layla, Shatterstar, and Longshot) went to view the body and came in contact with the demon who took the opportunity to both own the group in her body & warn them to stay away from this case and his "business". Not to be deterred, the group headed to the deceased wife's old home for tangible clues, found Hangman's real name, and upon hacking the Avengers database discovered his secret identity and history of mysteriously murdered past flames. They suspected Hangman murdered his wife/kidnapped his child and that B.B. was an accomplice in all this, armed with this basis they sought Hangman for answers and justice.

    The group soon found (or rather WERE found by) Hangman, and after a brief battle Hangman soon learned of his wife's demise and asked of X-factor to save his son. The group obliged and despite being ambushed by the demon they managed to kill his body........only for him to posses another dead body and kill their leader Multiple Man. Outraged, the group used teamwork on him only for the demon to reform his previously destoryed body back into fighting shape and continue the battle.

    As the battle raged on it was revealed the reason B.B. set up this confrontation with X-factor, was due to Layla's ability to resurrect people from the dead; without their souls. As a Demon who values the energy of the soul this would cut into B.B.'s business endeavors, and he couldn't allow such a cut in inventory. As the group wrestled with this ethical/moral dilemma on whether to resurrect their fallen leader, B.B. prepared to ambush X-factor and drain their souls. Only with Hangman's help did they kill the demon again and before he could reak more havoc in the new body they banished his soul from the Earthly plane with a special exorcism. This ended B.B.'s reign of terror, and Hell's assassin is back in his homeworld until the next soul is required.
