History

Berzerker was a member and the leader of the Tunnelers, an offshoot group of Morlocks who hated another offshoot group, the Drain Dwellers. His love interest was Scaleface.

Initially a group of ten, six of the Tunnelers were killed when the Marauders were sent by Mister Sinisterto kill the Morlocks. Berzerker, along the Tunnelers with Scaleface, Blowhard, and Masque, survived the attack, only to get in another battle with Beast and Iceman, mistakinly believing they were Marauders too. The battle ended when the Tunnelers figured out that the X-Factor members were not their enemies.

Joining X-Factor at their base, the Tunnelers found out about their hosts' mock mutant hunter aliases, the X-Terminators. The Tunnelers eventually left hoping to find a new home in New Jersey. They ran into a human street gang called the Savage Wolf gang who tried to rob them. The Tunnelers fought back, ending in the deaths of Blowhard and two of the three gang members. This led to a confrontation with the police, where Scaleface was shot dead. Cyclops and Jean Grey arrived to save the remaining two Tunnelers, but it was too late; Berzerker was enraged by the loss of Scaleface and vowed revenge on all humanity. Before Cyclops could reason with him Berzerker let out a giant energy attack at him, blaming X-Factor for the Tunnelers' destruction. Cyclops fired back, overpowering Berzerker's initial shot. The optic blast from Cyclops knocked Berzerker into a river, electrocuting himself with his own powers. Masque was the only Tunneler that survived.

Berserker was revived through the techno-organic virus implanted by Eli Bard, and sent to attack the X-Men on Utopia by Selene alongside Scaleface.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Electrokinesis
Berzerker's mutant powers allowed him to generate and control pulsing bolts of electrical energy. He did this by absorbing and manipulating the energies of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. He could also fly and tap into, absorb, observe or listen to television or radio broadcasts.

Notes

  • In X-Men Evolution, Berzerker was a member of the New Mutants. Unlike Berzerker of Earth-616, he couldn't fly or use his powers to listen to television or radio broadcasts. However, what he lacked in overall mutant powers he made up for in various areas. He has a bad temper, but not bad enough to hate or willingly kill a human.

Trivia

  • Berzerker was put into X-Men: Evolution because the writing staff was looking for a bad boy with a mysterious past as well as characters with unique powers. Though an obscure character, Berzerker was exactly what they were looking for. Since then, Berzerker has developed a notable fan-base.
