Days of Future Past The Hounds were first introduced in
Uncanny X-Men, from the "
Days of Future Past"
dystopian timeline, as part of the backstory of
Rachel Summers. These brainwashed mutant hunters were created and commanded by the cyborg
Ahab, who used them to hunt down and imprison mutants in
concentration camps. Summers was forced to become one of these Hounds while still an adolescent, which scarred and haunted her for years afterward. Eventually she broke her conditioning and rebelled. As a result, she was sent to the camps herself as punishment.
Shadow King's Hounds Shadow King is later seen to use mind-controlled humans called Hounds to track
Storm, who had been transformed into a child by
Nanny. These Hounds were reduced to a nearly mindless, animalistic state by the Shadow King, apparently for his own amusement.
Orchis' Hounds Adrian Toomes is recruited into working at an
Orchis black site to track
Nightcrawler through New York. Toomes sends
Cloak and Dagger,
Feral,
Fatale, Animax, and
Reaper to target
Mystique and Nightcrawler. ==Other versions==
