Fictional character biography

Like other members of the Raider in the Storm he originally came from Attilan and joined the team unwillingly when Apocalypse captured half of the city. After the city was liberated by the X-Men and Black Bolt he retained membership of the team as he like the others was a deep believer in Apocalypse's Social Darwinism and wanted to rid the world of those unworthy, an ironic twist would be that Foxbat would later in his life be consider unfit to survive himself by his own teams.

The Raiders in the Storm, now going simply as the Dark Raiders came under the leadership of Genesis, who was even more insane than any of their previous leaders. Genesis found Foxbat unworthy of living and he was chastised by his own teammates who caught him and brought him back to Genesis who drained his lifeforce. Foxbat could had possibly been revived but during the conflict with Genesis' father Cable, the base where his body was exploded, forever terminating any chance of a return.[1]
