| Origin |
| Originating from an
old-money family that made their fortune in cotton, rum and slavery, Donald
Pierce was able to easily buy his way into the
Hellfire Club.
After an altercation with the mutant known as
Cable, cost Pierce his arms and legs he had the first cybernetic
components installed on his body. Soon thereafter he was invited by
the
Black King of the Inner Circle to join in their quest for world
domination as the White Bishop. When a
conflict between the Hellfire Club and the
X-Men
lead to Pierce's body being further damaged he escaped to nurture a grudge
against both teams. Attempting to wrest control of the Hellfire Club
away form Shaw, Pierce was sent into exile where he would come into contact
with a group of Hellfire foot-soldiers who had been severely injured by
Wolverine. Offering his cybernetic skills, Pierce turned the once
ordinary men into the Reavers. |
