Creation & Design

Early Years

The Morlocks first appeared in X-Men #159, living in the sewers of New York City, and were introduced as a community of outcast mutants who were shunned by society due to their physical appearances.

Character Development

Over the years, the Morlocks have evolved from mere background characters to significant players in the X-Men mythos, representing themes of acceptance, community, and the fight against prejudice.

Cultural Reception

The Morlocks have been well-received as a metaphor for marginalized groups, resonating with readers who identify with their struggles.
