Real Name: Unknown
Powers: The Hunter in the Darkness is a wolf like creature with enhanced strength and enhanced agility. His powers are more mystical than mutant.
History: A mystical being, the Hunter in Darkness was encountered by Wolverine in the Canadian wilderness, where Wolverine freed it from a trap. Known as "puppy" by Elsie Dee, it currently still roams free in Canada, but its bond to Wolverine for helping it still exists. The last time Wolverine and the Hunter in Darkness met was in Wolverine #83 to Wolverine #84 where Logan and it fought. Logan thought it was a different Hunter in Darkness because he couldn't recognisze the scent, but he didn't realize that during Elsie Dee and Albert's time travel (with the real Hunter in Darkness tagging along), they had left him in a different time period with others of his kind, and he had became their leader. Over the years, he had grown older, and Logan was quite startled to discover in Wolverine #84 that the Hunter in Darkness had grown so old since the last time he had encountered the Hunter in Darkness was not that long ago. |
