COLE, MACON, & REESE

Real Names: Wade Cole, Angelo Macon, and Murray Reese

First Appearances: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #133, May 1980 (as guards); The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #152, December 1981 (ss cyborgs)

Powers: Wade Cole, Angelo Macon, and Murray Reese were originally human mercenaries employed as guards by the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle. After the three were severely wounded in battle against Wolverine, they were converted into cyborgs by the Inner Circle (with later modifications provided by Donald Pierce).

They each have cybernetic implants, a nature which is further evidenced by the wiring and circuitry visible along their bodies. Their physical attributes are bionically-augmented to enhanced human levels of strength, speed, and reflexes. The highly advanced level of cyborg, robotic, and computer technology implanted into their bodies also gives them infrared scanners and the ability to interface with computers, allowing direct data access to their brains’ memory centers. All three also carry machine guns, explosive shells, plasma cannons, electrified nets, and rocket propulsion packs.
