Morlocksare a group ofmutantcharacters appearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.The characters are usually depicted as being associated with theX-Menin theMarvel Universe.Created by writerChris Claremontand artistPaul Smith,[1]they were named after thesubterranean race of the same nameinH. G. Wells' novelThe Time Machine,[2]but unlike in the Wells book, they are not a faceless, threatening mass of villains. They first appeared as a group inThe Uncanny X-Men#169 (May 1983).[3]Calibanappeared prior to that, but he was not yet a member of the Morlocks.

The Morlocks were depicted as an underground society (bothliterallyandfiguratively) ofoutcastmutants living astunnel dwellersin thesewers,abandoned tunnels, andabandoned subway linesbeneathNew York City.The Morlocks were composed of mutant misfits, especially those mutants who, because of physical mutations or other conspicuous manifestations of their mutant genetics, were unable to pass as human in normal society.[4]Subjected to hate, fear, and disgust from human society due to their "deformed" appearances, dangerous mutations, or otherwiseoutcastor misfit statuses, most of the Morlocks viewed humans (and even other more mainstream mutants such as the X-Men) with distrust and anger, and they occasionally committed criminal or antisocial acts upon the above-ground human society.

Due to a series of tragedies, the original Morlocks no longer reside in subterranean New York City (exceptMarrow,who was one of the original Morlocks as a child), although a violent splinter cellGene Nationand a comparable group calledThose Who Live in Darknesshave emerged. Similar groups, called Morlocks by readers and/or the X-Men themselves, have appeared underChicagoandLondon.

Fictional group history

[edit]

According toCallisto,she formed the Morlocks by first recruitingCaliban.She then used his power to track down other mutants who were unable to integrate into normal society. The Morlocks initiallysquattedin a network of abandoned, interconnected tunnels beneathManhattan,which had originally been built asCold Warbomb sheltersand then forgotten, before also expanding into the sewers and abandoned subways beneath Manhattan. The Morlocks occasionally emerged to rob humans in Manhattan and would sometimes kidnap certain mutant children.[5]

The X-Men were alerted to the existence of the Morlocks when their leader Callisto kidnappedAngeland intended to make him her mate.[6]This broughtStormto challenge Callisto to a duel for leadership of the Morlocks. Victorious, Storm[5]orders an end to their attacks on normal humans,[7]but she does not assume leadership of the Morlocks full-time. Against her wishes, several Morlocks later kidnap the child superheroesPower Packso that they could be raised by the Morlock Annalee, who had lost her own children. When Callisto discovers what was going on, she forces Annalee to let them go. They promise to return in the future to keep her company.[8]

A majority of the Morlocks are slaughtered byMister Sinister'sMaraudersin the "Mutant Massacre".Most of the survivors move on to joinGene Nation,having lived in apocket dimensionled byMikhail Rasputin.Leechinstead becomes a ward ofGeneration X.Other survivors includeErgandBeautiful Dreamer(whose whereabouts were unknown until"Decimation"),Thornn,(who would joinX-Corporation), and Caliban.

It is later revealed that some of the Morlocks were actually failed experiments of theDark Beast,although he made certain that they did not remember being tampered with; however, Mister Sinister recognized that some of the Morlocks were based on his own genetic studies (which the Dark Beast learned from the Sinister of his reality) and subsequently ordered the Marauders to kill the entire underground society.

A new group called the Tunnel Rats which also calls itself "Those Who Live in Darkness" have inhabited the sewer tunnels just below the surface of Mutant Town/District X.District XwriterDavid Hineclaims to never have intended this group to have any ties to the original Morlocks.[9]

During the "Decimation"storyline, some of the remaining powered Morlocks sought out asylum at the X-Mansion.[10]There were some Morlocks that remained underground under Marrow's protection.[11]

During the "Endangered Species"storyline, Masque and the Morlocks with him began their search for Magneto where they had some future-telling diaries with them where one of them states that Magneto is still a mutant in light of M-Day.[12]

At the time when the Terrigen Cloud was loose on Earth infecting mutants with M-Pox since the "Infinity"storyline, the number of mutants that are living underground had increased. In addition to these mutants, Callisto showed sympathy towards the humans who sought out refuge from the global landscape. As a way to live out the dream of Professor X, this unified society of humans and mutants lived together as the New Morlocks.[13]The Morlock are further decimated by the Mauraders, but Cyclops helps the Chechnyan government expel rebels in exchange for a Morlock sanctuary.[14]

WhenKrakoawas established as a mutant paradise, the known Morlocks that reside there are Callisto,[15]Caliban,[16]Cybelle,[17]Erg,[17]a revived Healer,[16]Leech,[18]Masque,[19]Marrow,[19]Mole[20]a revived Piper,[17]Skids,[21]and a revived Tommy.[17]

After M-Day

[edit]

After M-Day, some former Morlocks who lost their powers were Angel Dust, Boost, Callisto, Delphi, Irving, Marrow,Postman,Qwerty, Shatter, Tether and the probability ofFeralandThornn.However, Feral and Thornn were later seen re-powered; but this was later to be revealed inWolverinevol. 3 #54-55 that only their physical mutations were restored, not their mutant powers, which led to Feral being killed bySabretooth.

In one ofGeneration M's "Ex-Mutants' Diaries", Sally interviews Marrow about the Morlocks. Marrow reports that 80% of the remaining Morlocks (which was most likely already very small) are depowered now and look like humans. She states that most of them are still afraid about going out of the tunnels.

Currently, Marrow works as a watchman of the Morlocks, as she is called by the remaining ones when problems occur. She explained this status in the aftermath of thirteen depowered Morlocks murdered byGhoul.

One character commented that, post-M-Day, the chance of meeting a Morlock in the tunnels under New York is now harder than meeting an alligator in the Floridian sewers.

Some former Morlocks who actually kept their powers sought refuge atXavier's Instituteand became known as the198.They are Beautiful Dreamer, Caliban, Erg, Leech, and Skids.

Dark Beast and Mikhail Rasputin are also still powered, though Mikhail is in Kapalan.
