History

=======

Predator X was created by the scientists of the Facility as requested by William Stryker, shortly before his passing. It is designed to hunt and kill mutants, and some of its abilities come from direct experimentation on mutants, such as its bio-metal skin which was taken from the mutant Mercury.

The Purifiers tracked down the beast since they intend to use it as a weapon against mutants, and against Stryker's predicted Anti-Christ in particular. Predator X is itself now looking for the new child with the X-Gene...

Messiah Complex

In Copperstown he was looking for the Baby Mutant and he ate Blockbuster and Prism. It continued its search and eats an unnamed fire-breathing mutant and later killed Peepers.

In the X-Mansion he's found by Rockslide,Dust and Mercury in the graveyard, eating the bodies of the dead students. After a quick fight with Rockslide he goes to the mansion where Surge protects Trance, Indra and Wolfcub and tells them to go to the infirmary. There, Predator X tries to kill the injured mutants such as Hellion or Elixir, while Armor and Nezhno fight with him.

When Pixie teleports everybody to Muir Island, Predator X eats Vertigo and goes to confront Cable, Bishop and the Baby. After biting Bishop, he's attacked by X-Force and killed by Wolverine.

Powers

=======

Predaror X is superhumanly strong and fast, and is incredibly resilient in regard to withstanding injury. It can also take in materials from its environment to reform itself. It has a number of other powers as a result of genetic experimentation on mutants as well, such as its bio-metal skin derived from Mercury.  He has razor sharp claws and teeth, and a regenerative healing factor.

The creature can also locate mutants to hunt, and needs to feed on them. It has killed and eaten several mutants, most notably Mammomax, Blockbuster, Prism, Peepers, Vertigo and the dead bodies buried in Xavier Institute's graveyard.
