History

Rax was a member of the Warclan, a sect of Neo. The Neo comprised different clans of recluse mutants, who chose to live apart from humanity and expected to inherit the world following a societal crisis. Tragedy struck when the Neo suffered a major crisis after the High Evolutionary temporarily deactivated the mutant gene, leading to the demise of many Neo. As a result, the Neo unleashed their rage upon Earth and, more specifically, the X-Men, a group of mutant activists who promoted racial integration. When the Warclan brutally attacked the X-Men, the Jaeger was killed in action during the fight. As a result, Rax took the position of the new Jaeger of the Warclan. The X-Men resisted, but were overpowered by the Warclan. Eventually, the X-Men gained relative advantage in the battle, knocking chieftan Domina out and forcing a retreat. As such, Domina preserved the Warclan in the St. Michael's Church in Brooklyn.

Rax challenged the Warclan's leadership by conspiring against Domina for her downfall. He schemed a coalition with the X-Men's leader, Rogue. In a subsequent confrontation, the X-Men returned with a plan to finish the Warclan. During the battle, it was revealed the X-Men had no participation in deactivating the mutant abilities on Earth, quite the contrary. Domina was convinced to cease her attack. However, the Jaeger was still considered a traitor. He tried to win Domina's trust back by slaying the X-Man Gambit, but Domina chose to spare Gambit's life. She still accepted Rax's return. Following the eradication of the Legacy Virus, Magneto, the master of magnetism and ruler of Genosha, appeared before Domina's Warclan demanding subservience. The Jaeger attempted to kill Magneto to gain respect, but was swiftly executed. Claiming he would tolerate mutants fighting each other no more, Magneto forced Domina to surrender her clan and to join him.
