Fictional character biography

Virtually nothing is known about the life of the man known only as Piper before he came to join the underground community of mutants known as the Morlocks who lived in "The Alley", a huge tunnel located beneath Manhattan.

Piper was slain by Scalphunter, a member of the superhuman team of assassins known as the Marauders, during the villains' massacre of the Morlock community.

Powers and abilities

Piper was a mutant possessed of the superhuman psionic ability to control animals, using the music he played on his flute as his focus. Living beneath Manhattan, Piper most often summoned sewer-dwelling denizens such as bats, rats, and alligators to do his bidding.
