Fictional character biography

Not much is know about the mysterious mutant called Sunder, except he was a founding member of the Morlocks and the "Muir Island" X-Men. During the tenure with the Morlocks, Sunder was the muscles of his group and was very protective of them, especially Callisto. He briefly joined the Muir Island X-Men, but was shortly killed by the cyborg Pretty-Boy when the Reavers invaded Muir Island ["Uncanny X-Men" #254 (1989)] .

Powers and abilities

Sunder's mutant powers give him superhuman strength and durability. However, he was not durable enough to withstand machine gun bullet wounds.

Other versions

Age of Apocalypse

In this reality, Sunder was known as Brute, and was a member of the Outcasts alongside Nate Grey. He discovered that "Essex" was in fact, Mister Sinister in disguise, but was killed by him before he was able to warn the others.

House of M

Sunder was seen as a member of the Genoshan Black Ops version of the Marauders.

Ultimate Sunder

Sunder was introduced to the Ultimate Marvel Universe in Ultimate X-Men #82 as the leader of the Ultimate Morlocks. His powers seem similar, but he seems to be near invincible (Nightcrawler broke his neck and he regenerates). For some time he leads the Morlock group, based on his strength. His desire to fight and kill any perceived threat, instead of using diplomatic means, results in his demotion as leader and seeming replacement by Nightcrawler. His look is a major change, with yellow skin, white hair and a more normal shape. In issue 90 he's forced to bring Mister Sinister some innocent mutants; he could not stop and seemed sorry.
