Morlocks

Erg was a member of an underground community known as the Morlocks. He is able to absorb all forms of energy and project them in blasts from his left eye, which he called his "electric eye".He was one of the few survivors of the horrible attack on the Morlocks known as the Mutant Massacre.

He was also one of the first to seek a haven at Xaviers Institute after M-Day. Erg, Mammomax, and Peepers were running from members of the murderous Sapien League. They had the institute in sight when they were taken down by a shock grenade and tasers. The Leper Queen then ordered all of them killed. The League members set up crosses in the shape of X's and bound the three mutants to them. They poured gasoline on them and lit it with a match. Erg awoke to find the legs of the cross in a blaze. He would have surly died if Wolverine hadn't snatched him and the others from the crosses. Wolverine was in the woods being sketched by Colossus.

It was Erg's idea to have a "198" flag on the grounds of the institute. He claimed he had an uncle, unnamed, who was a Hell's Angel and that the Hell's Angels wear a 1% badge because the Media said it was only one percent of bikers when a group of bikers tore up a town called hollister back in the 1940's.

He was one of a few mutants who attacked Sentinel Squad ONE (Office of National Emergency) because they wanted to leave the Xavier estate. Mister M ended that fight.

He was also one of the unfortunate ones who agreed to being tagged when they went on a trip to the Salem Center they were told the tags were harmless. This turned out not to be true as Erg found out. Later on, Mr. M took the liberty of freeing the chipped mutants of their devices.
