The Marauders are a group of fictional characters, supervillains in the Marvel Comics universe and enemies of the X-Men. They are agents of Mister Sinister, and are best known for their involvement in the Mutant Massacre, in which they slaughtered the mutant community known as the Morlocks.

The Marauders include:

• Arclight (Phillipa Sontag), a super-strong mutant who is always spoiling for a fight; she specializes in shockwave attacks. She served with the American ground forces in 'Nam, and is still haunted by memories of that place. She has a romantic interest in Scalphunter.
• Blockbuster, a superhumanly strong behemoth who's stood up to punches from Thor. He did some work with German terrorists before hooking up with Sinister.
• Harpoon, a young Inuit who can charge objects (usually his Slayspears - 20-pound babrbed harpoons) with electrical, concussive force, or stunning energies.
• Malice, one of Sinister’s top lieutenants, and her sadistic orders are followed without hesitation or question. She is an incorporeal energy being who possesses others, though she often 'hides' in the person and reveals herself in a mirror or as the dark side of the target’s consciousness.
• Prism, an overconfident & cold-blooded killer who often underestimates the fragility of his crystalline body (which can deflect/reflect most all forms of energy attacks).
• Riptide (Janos Quested), a brutally evil man who can spin his body at superhuman speeds and fling out shurikens (made from a resin his skin secretes) for amazing amounts of damage.
• Sabretooth (Victor Creed), the longtime enemy of Wolverine.
• Scalphunter (John Greycrow), a ruthless ex-G.I., and the group’s tactician. His orders are overruled only by Malice or Sinister. Scalphunter is the most cold-blooded of the group. His custom battle armor features a variety of easily assembled weapons. Also has incredible regenerative powers -- he survived being executed by his fellow American soldiers in 1944 (he'd murdered & scalped eight fellow officers).
• Scrambler (Kim Il Sung), the youngest Marauder, can disrupt electrical, mechanical, physiological, and genetic (Mutant abilities) systems with a touch. This Korean is a psychopath more concerned with looking stylish than with the suffering he inflicts on others.
• Vertigo, who can psionically induce a sensation of vertigo in others; she was originally a member of Magneto's Savage Land Mutates .

Although several Marauders died during the "Morlock Massacre", they reappeared during the "Inferno" crossover; it was later revealed that Mister Sinister has created numerous clones of all of the Marauders save for Sabretooth, whose regenerative abilities made cloning difficult. Uncanny X-Men #350 revealed that Gambit had organized the group, although he was never actually a member. The Marauders' loyalty to Sinister is insured through gene imprints they all posses that would kill them should they turn on the geneticist.
