When was Pierce promoted to the White King of the Hellfire Club? In the Marvel Graphic Novel #4: New Mutants, he was still the White Bishop and was imprisoned by the Club for anti-mutant activities. The next time I am aware of him being seen is when the Reavers break him out just before their crucifying Wolverine. When the alert goes out about the jail break, the guard yells "the White King has escaped". I can see him declaring himself King, but why would the Club ever acknowledge it? You would think the guard would refer to him as the White BISHOP.
