Fire Knives is a member of a mercenary group called the Mongrels that are employed by a powerful organization called the Red Right Hand that has a personal vendetta against Wolverine. The Mongrels are hired to eliminate certain targets, particularly Wolverine’s friends and loved ones. Fire Knives and the rest of the Mongrels which include Gunhawk, Sawfist, Cannonfoot and Shadowstalker come after Wolverine’s girlfriend, Melita Garner at her work in the San Francisco Post building. Killer Knives kills one security guard with a heated blade into the forehead while Cannonfoot catches Melita’s scent. Cannonfoot finds Melita but he gets shot from a Skrull sonic disruptor that Logan gave his girlfriend. Cannonfoot is temporarily down and Melita escapes from the Mongrels with Mystique‘s help. Gunhawk informs the Red Right Hand that they lost Melita because of Mystique’s interference. The Red Right Hand tells Gunhawk and the Mongrels to proceed to their next target in Madripoor. Â
Killer Knives and the Mongrels enter the Princess Bar in Madripoor and massacre the bouncers inside. Killer Knives sang the itsy bitsy spider song after she butchered some men while Gunhawk seeks the target. Gunhawk tells Tyger Tiger that Logan is in hell and burns down a room filled with photos, trinkets, mementos and other important possessions that Wolverine has collected in his lifetime. Â
