Details
The Reavers were hired by Sebastian Shaw to retrieve data and technology from Cerebro, after similar technology was discovered at the Alkali Lake site. In a pre-dawn raid, the Reavers infiltrated the mansion, but not without setting off the security systems. Evacuation measures were taken by the school, with the majority of students fleeing. The Reavers were outmaneuvered and repelled by the X-Men, as well as some of the staff and students. Taking heavy casualties, the Reavers fled by helicopter, having failed in their mission.
Many of the Reavers are outfitted with myomer-style cybernetics, an advanced version of the cyberware possessed by Jetstream. This technology was later used to repair Haroun's damaged legs and Forge's cybernetic arm. Most of the Reavers, excluding Bonebreaker, Prettyboy, and Skullbuster, wore plexiglass helmets with an integrated radio link that effectively kept them in telepathic contact with each other. Most of the Reavers were equipped with Kevlar body armor and M4 assault rifles, as well as various other firearms, grenades, and hand-to-hand weapons.
In June 2009, the Reavers appeared again during an X-Men mission in Brazil, defending a power plant that was exploiting a young mutant.
Most recently, the Revears appeared with leader Donald Pierce in a potential alliance with The Purifiers. The two groups invaded the Salem Center during graduation in an attempt to capture Professor Charles Xavier. Although the group injured several mutants and seriously injured Nicholas Gleason, they were eventually turned back and several were brought under arrest. With Pierce in custody, the current whereabouts of the remaining Reavers are unknown.
