Biography
Cullen Bloodstone was a male human who was the son of the famed monster hunter Ulysses Bloodstone. (Avengers Arena v1 #14) This made him the younger brother of Elsa Bloodstone where both were trained to be hunters. On his 10th birthday, Cullen was taken by his father on a proper hunting trip where they journeyed through a magical mirror that was a gateway to the black realm of Klimtor. The young boy thought of it as the best birthday of his life as he and his father hunted the monstrous creatures inhabiting that dimension. He was then left behind as part of a test by his father who wanted to see his son survive the harsh conditions of the realm. It was only supposed to be for a short time but Ulysses Bloodstone died on Earth thus stranding Cullen in Klimtor for the next 2 years. (Avengers Arena v1 #14)
He was not sure how he returned back to Earth with him reasoning that he must have found a rift back home. Cullen was at the Bloodstone mansion where he encountered his sister who had mistakenly believed that he had been at a boarding school all this time. Possessed, he turned into his monstrous state and went on a rampage until his sister defeated him returning him back to normal in the ruins of their home. It was then that he learnt that a monster from Klimtor resided in his body but he was given a Bloodstone ring which helped cage the creature. To help him control his powers, his sister decided to enrol him at the Braddock Academy headed by Captain Britain Brian Braddock which aimed to aid superpowered people in the United Kingdom learn to use their abilities. (Avengers Arena v1 #14)
Afterwards, he returned to the Bloodstone estate in England where he continued the family practice of being monster hunters. During this time, he felt that the Warwolves in the London Zoo were an invasion species too dangerous to be in the country even if they were in captivity. Thus, he convinced the zoo to sell him the creatures and intended to hunt them as sport before killing them. During this time, the X-Men approached him over taking possession of the Warwolves but he refused but instead offered them a chance at killing the beasts in the sport. Thus, he competed with the X-Men over killing the otherdimensional predators but then unleashed his monstrous nature as he switched from hunting them to preying on the Mutants. (Excalibur v4 #7)
