Marauders (classic) Appreciation 2020

[Nyssane]

One of the X-Men's most successful villain teams are the band of assassins known as the Marauders!

Some food for thought:

SEND IN THE CLONES - There are some inconsistencies with the cloning habits of the Marauders. We've seen Vertigo, for example, in the Savage Land while simultaneously buzzing about with the Marauders. Prism, too, during Decimation was one of the few mutants left powered and was seen in a mental hospital. Was that the original Prism while the rest have been clones of him?

SCALPHUNTER'S CLONES - Scalphunter has a regenerative factor and has been said to be the original Scalphunter, but we've seen him in a couple stories where he has indeed been a clone. Which is it, Marvel? Is he cloned or not?!

PRISM ON KRAKOA - In Hellions #1, Scalphunter is said to be the only Marauder who has taken up residence on Krakoa. However, we already saw Prism way back in X-Force #1, and the Director's Cut even mentioned Prism, so there's no mistaking him. How then is he found strung up with the other Marauders in Hellions #1? Is it just a clone of Prism? Are all of the captured Marauders clones while the originals are elsewhere? Very confusing...

VERTIGO & MALICE MIA - Hellions #1 showed several of the classic Marauders, but two were missing: Vertigo and Malice. Of course, Malice could be anyone, but where is Vertigo? Maybe Madelyne Pryor only needed the mutant members of the Marauders for her ritual? I guess time will tell!

I'm wondering if Sinister hacked one of Xavier's Cerebro memory banks, or had a smaller one built for testing purposes. It stands to reason multiples of the same OG Marauder could exist simply because Sinister is a wackadoo.
