History

Anteus was a representative of the race of 'supermutants' known as the Neo. A member of the Neo's Warclan, Anteus assisted in battling Cecilia Reyes and the X-Men in the opening salvo of the Neo's war against both humans and mutants, sparked when the High Evolutionary removed all mutants' powers, causing untold devastation to the hidden Neo community.

Anteus kept his mutant powers after the M-Day, and attacked the mutants at San Francisco alongside other members of the Warclan, confronting the Young X-Men.

He was seemingly killed by the Evolutionaries along the others Neo in order to ensure the survival of the mutant species.
