Fictional character biography
Bonebreaker is the leader of the original Reavers, a gang of cyborgs residing in Australia.[1] Following their defeat by the X-Men, Bonebreaker seeks out Donald Pierce and Lady Deathstrike to aid in rebuilding the Reavers and defeating the X-Men. At this point, Pierce takes over Bonebreaker's role as the Reavers' leader.[2]
The Reavers attack Muir Island, where they battle the Muir Island X-Men and Freedom Force.[3] After the Muir Island battle, Bonebreaker and the Reavers continue to attack various heroes and mutants. When Pierce creates Albert and Elsie-Dee as a trap for Wolverine, Bonebreaker accidentally gives Elsie-Dee the maximum artificial intelligence instead of that of a child. As a result, Elsie-Dee and Albert decide that Wolverine is noble and foil Pierce's plans.
Bonebreaker leads an attack on what he thinks is Wolverine, but is in actuality an alternate universe aged version of Logan. This attack kills several new-found friends of Logan. In response, Logan tears apart Bonebreaker and stabs him through the neck.[4]
Powers and abilities
Like the other members of the Reavers, Bonebreaker is a cyborg and has bionic implants that augment strength, stamina, and reflexes beyond the levels of a normal human.
Bonebreaker's legs have been replaced with a motorized chassis that drives on tank treads. It is outfitted with anti-aircraft weapons, missile launchers, and machine guns. Bonebreaker's upper torso can be removed from the chassis.
