History: Born in the savage land, When Kylie was 7 years old she only knew of lush green valleys and the security of her tribe until one day outsiders evaded the prehistoric land that the world had forgotten, and left nothing but devastation in their wake. Kylie and a few others managed to escape the massacre by hiding in caves. When she emerged from the caves she found her tribe either killed or missing, and the land and all its inhabitants destroyed. Her parent's bodies were never found. Kylie joined up with the other survivors and tried to rebuild their homes. After almost 12 years she set out to find other survivors and found a small group camped outside a great fortress that was once the home of Magneto. Inside the fortress she found the last two survivors of Magneto's henchmen the Mutates. One, Barbarus, attacked her friends and Kylie killed him with her crossbow. The other, called Brainchild, offered to help them, saying he could restore the Savage Land. From Brainchild Kylie learned that her father was once Sauron the energy siphoning mutant, and that his mutant DNA had given her the potential for mutant powers. Along with two other survivors, Kylie allowed Brainchild to use the machines in the citadel to activate this latent power, turning her into a winged reptilian creature. Calling herself Raptor, Kylie and the other Savages left for New York to abduct the Hellion Teryn. They did this because they believed that Teryn’s mutant terraforming powers could be harnessed to regenerate the Savage Land. The mission was successful, and the Savage Land was at least partially restored, although Brainchild was killed in battle with the Hellions. Teryn’s ally the White Queen offered to help Raptor find out who was responsible for the attack on the Savage Land, and so Raptor left her home and travelled to America with the Hellions.
