History
After learning of Emma Frost's plan to have X-23 leave the school, Cessily Kincaid took X-23 to Salem Center for coffee to cool Laura down. Facility agents led by the Weapon Plus program, including X-23's former handler, Kimura came for one of them. Laura, believing it was her, begged Cessily to leave, but not before Kimura shot Cessily with an electric bullet, stopping Cessily from doing anything, and stating that they were actually there for Cessily. After capturing Cessily, Kimura left before Laura could recuperate from a grenade blast. At the lab, Cessily questioned who they were and what they wanted but was given no answers. When she replied that her friends would come for her, Kimura informed that "The Elephant" (Mammomax) said the same thing while showing a picture of his corpse in a cell. Apparently William Stryker, before dying, had requested a living weapon, a huge beast called the "Predator X", and Mercury's metal skin was needed to give him more durability and powers. Gruesome experiments partially stripped the girl of the needed bio-metal, granting the beast her powers and leaving her in extreme pain. The experiments left her physically and mentally traumatized, and she went into recovery at the institute. Predator X was, presumably, then covered in a flexible metallic skin.
The Purifiers began tracking down the creature, in hopes of using it as a weapon against their mutant enemies and William Stryker's predicted "Anti-Christ" in particular. It killed and ate a rodent-like American mutant, whose remains were left behind.
Messiah Complex
Predator X arrived in Cooperstown, Alaska looking for the child with the X-Gene, pausing to feast upon the bodies of Blockbuster and possibly Prism. Predator X continued its search, devouring an unnamed fire-breathing mutant, and later the American mutant known as Peepers.
It then made its way to the X-Mansion. Upon arrival, it dug up the graves of dead mutants from the bus attack caused by the Purifiers and began consuming those bodies. Dust, Mercury and Rockslide came across Predator X when Dust went to pay her respects to the dead.
After a brief fight with Rockslide, it headed toward the mansion and came across Trance, Indra and Wolf Cub. Surge jumped in to protect them and instructed any students to head to the infirmary. In pursuit of the wounded mutant Nightcrawler and Hellion, Predator X managed to get past Surge and attack the infirmary, although Gentle and Armor attempted to stop it. Pixie mentioned that X-23 killed a Predator X and teleported the New X-Men, Beast and the injured mutants to Muir Island. Upon entering the infirmary, Predator X killed and ate Vertigo and immediately tried to attack Cable, the baby and Bishop. Bishop attacked the creature when it got between him and the baby, and Predator X ripped off and swallowed his right arm. X-Force arrived, and in the ensuing battle, Wolverine destroyed Predator X by letting it swallow him and tearing his way out of the Predator's stomach.
