History

The Hightower brothers fought as the Howlers, a team in Alexander Flynn's mutant gladiatorial arena. Bouncer maintained a generally human appearance, while Barker and Byter took on the form of mutated bulldogs.

The Howlers disorient Beast.

Buford's subsequent fate and whether or not he kept his mutant powers after the events of M-Day have yet to be revealed.

Frequency rumble: The Hightowers could emit a growl that disoriented anyone within earshot. It is unknown if each could do this individually, or if all three needed to be present.
