Pretty Boy


Real Name: Unknown
Affiliation: Reavers
Status: Unknown
Alternate-X Versions: None
Codename Etymology: Pronounced prĭt'ē boi [From Old English prættig "cunning", Old French embuié "servant"]; An attractive but effeminate man.
Powers & History: None (cyborg). One of the original Reavers, Pretty Boy may have been so named because his body was outwardly normal, unlike may of the other Reavers. Inside, however, Pretty Boy was quite mechanical, with telescoping bionic arms and fiber-optic tendrils that extended from his eyes and could reprogram a victim's brain, among other cyborg enhancements. After a particularly nasty confrontation with Wolverine, however, Pretty Boy was badly damaged, and Pierce replaced his entire body with a "bare bones" configuration. He retained all of his abilities and was also given cables that extended from his chest, which were used to trap and hold his victims.

Pretty Boy was presumed destroyed when Fitzroy's Sentinels attacked the Reavers. However, he re-appeared with Pierce and Skullbuster III under the influence of the Shadow King. They attacked the "X-Treme" X-Men in Australia, but were defeated and remanded to local custody. Pretty Boy's status is unknown at this point.
