Name: Crule
Alias: N/A
Race: Mutant (External)
Team: The Externals
Voice Actor: Dorian Harewood (www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/X-Men-Legends/Shadow-King/)
Theme Song: TBD
Image/Appearance:
History: He was one of the immortals known as the Externals, and he was one of the meanest and maddest of the team, often seen as being a barbarian. His purple skin and apparent strength are the only known manifestations of his mutancy.
Even though his exact age, race and name are unknown it is known that he has been revealed as having been an ancient berserker as well as remembering Mithras (a religion from around the 1st to 4th centuries AD).
He was also used by the other male Externals, who called themselves the High Lords. He was their personal enforcer and assassin in their power game. Gideon has also said that during World War II he worked in a Nazi death camp, operating a gas chamber purely for his own enjoyment.
Crule, after being exiled by the Externals, is found and sent by Gideon to attack X-Force after the rescue of Sunspot. His main mission is to find the newest ascendant into the External family, Cannonball. He finds their aircraft and forces his way aboard. He fights the team but is blasted off the ship by Rictor and falls a thousand feet, putting him in a body cast.
When the Externals kidnap X-Force members Warpath, Boomer, and Siryn to lure Cannonball in so that they can study his DNA, the rest of X-Force sneaks into Crule's hospital room and abducts him, although he is happy to help them because it would mean he could "humble" his fellow teammates. He gives the location of Saul's house to X-Force and they go and rescue their friends. Still a threat, X-Force decides that instead of waiting for him to heal and attack them that they'll dispose of him. Since his body cast floats, they dump him in the Pacific Ocean.
He was recovered and put with Saul, who can work with his evil mind to keep him in check and even enable his villany.
Equipment:
Gauntlet-covered claws - The gauntlets provide extra protection for his hands and give the claws a razor sharp tip that can shred steel like paper.
Hair Whip with Spiked Mace - His hair is durable enough to have a steel mace at the end that he can whip around and cave in a normal man's face with.
Powers: Crule has superhuman strength (lifting 13 tons), enough durability to take on all of X-Force and hold his own for some time, an immortal lifespan, the speed of a cheetah, acrobatic agility, and reflexes and coordination to evade bullet and catch arrows. His fangs and claws are sharp enough to pierce steel.
Abilities: He had centuries of experience in many forms of armed and unarmed combat.
Weaknesses: Crule's need to make his foes suffer sometimes lets them regroup or counter. No normal ranged attacks.
Trivia:
-Though Crule's exact origin remains unknown, he has invoked the names of Ishtar and Mitra, deities primarily worshiped in the Hyborian Age.
-Crule shares a Psychic-Link with his fellow Externals that allows them to not only sense each other but when one rises from the dead or is killed.
-It was revealed that Crule and the other Externals can only die at the hands of a fellow External, and in doing so that External absorbing the essence of their brethren gaining godhood. But when an External kills another and fails to kill all the other Externals, he/she losses the power they gained and the fallen Externals come back to life. This is why the others gather, because if Apocalypse kills them all, he would be unstoppable.
-He's 6'8" tall.
