History
An aggressive tribe of Morlocks led by Carver began to wage a war against the Moloids that lived further underground. At the same time, one of their number who was a mindless feral Morlock named Fugue started killing people from the surface. This attracted the attention of the N.Y.P.D., Wolverine and Spider-Man who sought to stop the murders. After mistakenly believing the perpetrators to be the Moloids, the Mole Man emerged and revealed the true culprits. This led to Wolverine challenging their leader Carver to a trial by combat where a collapse led to both him along with Fugue falling into an underground fiery chasm. (Wolverine v2 #157)
