History:
(New Mutants I#91 - BTS) - Shunned by society, the man known only as Hump and his brother Brute joined the underground misfits known as the Morlocks at some unrevealed point in the past. Meeting several other brutish mutants, Hump and Brute became affiliated with Masque.
(New Mutants I#91) - Hump and his brother Brute accompanied Masque in confronting Sabretooth, one of the Marauders from the notorious "Morlock Massacre." They attempted to claim Sabretooth's life, but Caliban seemingly slew Sabretooth before they could do so.
(New Mutants I#99) - Hump and Brute tried to help Masque capture Feral, but they failed-- she escaped into the sewers.
(New Mutants I#100) - Brute, Hump, and Masque followed Feral and found her in the X-Mansion. After the New Mutants defeated members of the Protectorate, Masque told them to give Feral back to them but Cable refused. Brute threatened Cable and Cable shot him in the head. Masque and Hump then decided to leave.
(X-Force I#6) - Hump, Masque and Thornn met with Toad and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to discuss an alliance between the two groups. Hump watched in silence as Toad and Masque negotiated, who remained unsure until Thornn declared she and the other Morlocks were eager for action. Masque agreed to Toad's alliance proposal. As a sign of charity, Toad informed Masque that his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants would take down X-Force on the Morlocks' behalf.
(Marauders I#19 - BTS) - Hump came to live in Masque's new home in Rio Verde, Arizona.
(Marauders I#19) - Madripoor's Lowtown came under attack by Homines Verendi's Reavers, in an effort to clean the streets of Lowtown as billionaire Chen Zhao had been buying up the streets. Explicitly instructed not to engage, the heroic Marauders searched for ways to stop the Reavers nonetheless, as such Callisto reached out to Hump, Bliss, Brute, Marrow and Masque for help. Believing the Reavers would destroy the new hospital Masque now worked, he and the Marauders agreed to help. Hump and the Morlocks joined Callisto to Madripoor, traveling by Krakoan-gate after which they immediately opposed the cyborg warriors, Hump joined his brother to tear one of the Reavers in half. The Morlocks quickly gained the upper hand, causing the Reavers to escape Lowtown after which the mutants celebrated their victory in a local hotel and bar. Hump and the others were surprised to learn the locals now called the place Mutietown instead of Lowtown.
(Dark X-Men II#2 (fb) - BTS) - On the night of the third annual Hellfire Gala on Mykines Island, Callisto established the Morlocks' own tradition, a raucous celebration. Brute and Hump joined Beautiful Dreamer, Shatter and Sunder on a yacht on the South Asian Sea. That night when Orchis attacked the Hellfire Gala and pressured Xavier into telepathically commanding mutants from around the world to step through the nearest Krakoan gate, the Morlocks were simply too far out to sea to reach a portal in time.
(Dark X-Men II#2) - Brute and Hump were checking a map on Callisto's yacht when they and the other Morlocks came under attack by Archangel who was under the influence of the Goblin Queen of Earth-91240. With just one swoop, Archangel killed Brute, Hump and Sunder. While at the same time a squad of the newly formed Dark X-Men arrived to save the Morlocks.
