In brief
X-Men's new team of brainwashed mutants targets Wolverine's legacy. X-Men's Scavenged team, brainwashed mutants with Wolverine-like powers, will hunt down New Mutants to continue their experiments. Originally reported by ScreenRant.
X-Men's Scavenged Team
Marvel's Uncanny X-Men debuted the Scavenged, a team of brainwashed mutants with Wolverine-like powers.
“The Scavenged make their first official appearance as an alliance of mutants.”
Graymalkin Prison
Graymalkin Prison was a mutant facility for experimenting on vulnerable mutants, not a prison.
“Graymalkin Prison was a facility for experimenting on vulnerable mutants, with the stated goal of creating 'New Wolverines'.”
X-Finity Project
X-Finity aimed to brainwash traumatized mutants into anti-superhuman teams with Wolverine-style claws.
“The project was intended to brainwash traumatized and vulnerable mutants, enhancing their powers and grafting wolverine-style claws to their body.”
The Hag
Sarah Gaunt, the Hag, was a former lover of Charles Xavier who now hunts New Mutants.
“Sarah Gaunt conceived a child with Professor X, only to lose him to a disastrous flood.”
Fawn
Fawn, a mutant with animalistic features, has retractable metal claws and superstrength.
“Fawn has an animalistic physique including stag-like antlers and hooves.”
Polyphemus
Polyphemus, a fire mutant, has heat vision and addresses Nightcrawler as 'demon'.
“Polyphemus addresses nightcrawler as 'demon,' suggesting he may have a religious outlook corrupted by weapon x-finity's brainwashing.”
Curare
Curare releases nerve gas and claims to admire the X-Men despite wanting to kill them.
“Curare has the ability to release a powerful nerve gas from her palms that causes muscle paralysis.”
Pilot
Pilot has jet-like wings and speaks Hausa, with a regretful outlook on their experiments.
“Pilot speaks hausa and may therefore be of west african origin.”
The Outliers
The Outliers are runaway mutants with unique powers, now called New Mutants.
“The Outliers are a group of runaway mutants who recently came under the louisiana x-men's care.”
Recruitment Target
One of the Outliers will be forcibly recruited into the Scavenged to continue experiments.
“The true motive of the SCAVENGED is revealed: capture a new mutant into their number to continue their unholy experiments.”
Scavenged's Goal
The Scavenged aim to create a team of 'new Wolverines' to kill off the Avengers.
“X-Finity's ultimate goal was to create an anti-superhuman mutant team, believing that a wolverine army could kill off even the avengers.”
Uncanny X-Men #37
Uncanny X-Men #37 revealed the Scavenged team and their first mission.
“In the recent uncanny x-men #37 - from gail simone, juan frigeri, matt wilson and clayton cowles - the hag sets her new team, now known as the scavenged, on the x-men, revealing their names and powers.”
The short version
X-Men's Scavenged team, brainwashed mutants with Wolverine-like powers, will hunt down New Mutants to continue their experiments.
