Crule is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in X-Force vol. 1 #12.
[edit] Fictional character biography
One of the immortal mutants known as Externals, Crule was the meanest and maddest of them all. According to Gideon, during World War 2, he worked in a concentration camp, happily operating a gas chamber. His purple skin and apparent strength are the only known manifestations of his mutancy. Crule was sent by Gideon to attack X-Force after they rescued Sunspot. However, Crule was blasted out of X-Force's ship by Rictor and fell a few thousand feet, which put him in a body cast. When The Externals kidnapped some of X-Force and were holding them for ransom, X-Force sneaked into Crule's hospital room and abducted him. He was actually happy to help the team "humble" his fellow immortals, and gave them the location of the Externals' hideout and their weaknesses. Crule was killed by Selene in a final battle between the Externals.
