Fan Sentiment

Scalphunter remains one of the most sinister members of the Marauders, forever defined by his role in the horrific Mutant Massacre that decimated the Morlocks. While he's primarily remembered as a cold-blooded killer and enforcer for Mister Sinister, his occasional moments of doubt and his complex history with Greycrow's past add layers that prevent him from being purely one-dimensional. He's never achieved the prominence of other Marauders like Sabretooth, but his consistent presence in X-Force and Hellions runs keeps him a reliable threat in the rogues gallery.
