Jaeger (comics)

Jaeger is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in "X-Men (vol. 2) #100".

The leader, or Jaeger, of the race of supermutants known as Neo, the one known only as Hunter led a strikeforce of Neo in an assault in Nightcrawler's Church of St Michael the Archangel in an effort to set-up a beach-head for their war against humans and mutants.

It was Hunter's child who died during the time that the High Evolutionary removed all mutants' powers, and it was this act that caused the Neo to declare their war after the resulting conflict devastated the hidden Neo community.

Their first target was Nightcrawler, who had left the X-Men and was studying to become a priest. He sought out Cecilia Reyes for aid, and together the pair of former X-Men battled Hunter, who was accidentally slain by Cecilia.

The Neo named Rax became Jaeger in his stead, continuing the hunt for the pair of former X-Men.
