Rax (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rax is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in X-Men v2, #100.

A member of the race of supermutants known as the Neo, Rax became the new leader, or Jaeger, of the Neo after the accidental death of the former Jaeger, Hunter, at the hands of Cecilia Reyes. Rax wielded a high-tech crossbow which he could fire with uncanny accuracy before it was destroyed in battle with Cecilia Reyes.

The hidden Neo civilisation was devastated when the High Evolutionary removed all mutants' powers, and it was this act that caused the Neo to declare war on both humans and mutants alike.

Rax was literally torn apart by the wrath of Magneto after the Master of Magnetism sought to recruit the Neo into his war against mankind.
