Hellfire Club

Donald Pierce first appeared as a high ranking member of the Hellfire Club inner circle, where he held the position of White Bishop, during that organization’s first direct encounter with the X-Men. During this conflict, he battled Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Colossus, and when Wolverine nearly severed his arm it was discovered that he was a cyborg. The Hellfire Club inner circle was eventually defeated and Donald Pierce’s whereabouts were unknown for several years.

Beginning of Hell

Reavers

He later appeared with Lady Deathstrike and three other resurrected mercenaries(Cole,Macom, andReese) who had been fatally wounded by Wolverine during the Hellfire's first skirmish with the X-Men. All five characters were consumed by their desire for revenge against the X-Men and Wolverine in particular. To that end Pierce created an army of cyborgs out of low-life thugs and a few mercenaries. He named his army “The Reavers.”

Cyborgs Unite

After rescuing Tyger Tiger from the Reavers, the X-Men expelled the cyborgs from their Australian outback headquarters, and appropriated the base for themselves (though Pierce was not present during this encounter, and was not yet revealed as the Reavers’ creator). The Reavers set out to defeat the X-Men, mounting a return to their old headquarters, this time with Pierce and Deathstrike present, but after the X-Men had escaped through the Siege Perilous they only managed to capture Wolverine who they tortured and crucified, Jubilee saved him from the cross. At one point Pierce created two super intelligent sentient androids (Elsie Dee and Albert) to kill Wolverine but they developed ethics and turned on Pierce and abandoned the Reavers.

A few years later a member of the UpstartsTrevor Fitzroy, sent sentinels to destroy the Reavers because they were a threat to mutants and Pierce (as the former White King) was worth a lot of points in the deadly game the Upstarts played. Only Lady Deathstrike and Cyllaescaped and it appeared that Pierce had been destroyed. The rest of the Reavers were completely wipe out. Despite his apparent death he resurfaced to trouble the X-men once again. He recently started an anti-mutant hate group and enlisted several members. He revealed a plot to take militant terrorist actions against mutants and was thwarted by the X-Men. He was beaten by Wolverine in hand-to-hand combat even though he is several times stronger than Logan. It is revealed that little to no human tissue remains in Donald which shows how he was able to survive the slaughter in Australia.

Pierce recently tried to take over Sebastian Shaw’s new Hellfire Club, launching an attack and slashing Shaw’s chest. Though Shaw was left critically injured and later needed to be hospitalized, he was able to punch off Pierce’s head. Whether or not Pierce could survive such an attack, his fate remains uncertain.

Powers

Donald Pierce is a cyborg with superhuman strength. Aside from being nearly all cyborg he is still a genius in robotics, cybernetics, and electronics.
