The Reavers are a group of marauders that were based in the Australian Outback
and terrorized Southeast Asia. After a raid on a major bank in Singapore, they
attracted the attention of the X-Men, who had recently been reborn following the
Fall of the Mutants battle against the Adversary. The X-Men proceeded to take
the Reavers apart, though Bonebreaker, Prettyboy, and Skullbuster escaped
through a portal created byGateway, an Australian aborigine whom they had forced to serve them. It is likely that they are rebuilding a new force of Reavers. The surviving Reavers agreed to seek a new life by entering the Siege Perilous, a device that the X-Men had been given by Roma following the battle against the Adversary, where the Reavers would be purged of the sins of their previous lives. The X-Men proceeded to adapt the Reavers’ town as their new home base.
