The Morlocks were a group of homeless mutants, numbering around fifty, who formed a tightly-knit community, living in the sewers beneath New York.
History
It is unknown when the Morlock community was formed, but by the mid-90s, there were at least four dozen mutants living in a loose society under the streets of New York. Most of the Morlocks were physically disfigured, taking their name from the subterranean society in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine. Avoiding a society that reacted to them with scorn and disgust, the Morlocks lived by scavenging and sticking together.
The urban myth of "mutants in the sewers" spread, and in 1996, a joint effort by the FBI and CIA to investigate possible links to mutant terrorist cells resulted in a botched raid on the sewers, where most of the Morlocks were killed.
Callisto was the leader of the Morlocks from their founding to their massacre.
Known Morlock Survivors
Few of the Morlocks survived the massacre, and fewer still have managed to find each other again. Survivors include:
- Sarah Morlocke
- Artie Maddicks
- Miles Blaire
- Callisto
- Some members of Gene Nation
While it is possible that other Morlocks may have been spared, to date none have been found.
