The Marauders’ first known activity was the perpetration of the so-called “Mutant Massacre,” in which they slaughtered the majority of the mutant Morlock population living under ground in the New York City area. The Marauders were opposed during the Massacre by Thor, and members of the X-Men, X Factor, New Mutants, and Power Pack. In the course of the massacre, three of the Marauders—Blockbuster, Prism, and Riptide—were apparently killed, though they appear, somehow, to have avoided the actual finality of death. Sabretooth, who has an identity far beyond membership in the Marauders, joined them after a full career. The Marauders have tried several times to kidnap Madelyne Pryor, without success. Their goal seems to be world domination, and they intend to kill all of the other superbeings on Earth, if necessary, to obtain it. |
