The '''Slaughterhouse Nine''' were a rotating group of nine supervillains.


== Original Nine ==
The Nine was founded and led by [[King]].

=== The Original Nine<ref>[[Interlude 25]]</ref> ===
#[[King]]
#[[Breed]]
#[[Gray Boy]]
#[[Harbinger]]
#[[Jack Slash]]
#[[Nyx]]
#[[Psychosoma]]
#[[Screamer]]
#[[Crimson]]
=== History ===
Jack Slash and Harbinger eventually teamed up to kill King; Jack took control of the Nine, while Harbinger left to join [[Cauldron]].

== Jack's Nine ==

=== "Core" Members ===
* [[Jack Slash]]
* [[Bonesaw]]
* [[Siberian]]
* [[Mannequin]]
* [[Crawler]]
* [[Shatterbird]]

=== Other Known Members ===
* [[Winter]]
* [[Crimson]]
* [[Chuckles]]
* [[Miasma]]
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Night Hag]]
* [[Skinslip]]
* [[Burnscar]]
* [[Hatchet Face]]
* [[Gray Boy]]
* [[Cherie Vasil|Cherish]]

=== History ===
The "core" members of Jack Slash's Nine up to their in-story invasion of Brockton Bay were those members that had either survived as members of the Nine for a very long time or were on their own considered A-class threats or worse. Bonesaw in particular was notable as single-handedly rating as an S-class threat due to her power giving her the ability to create tinker-tech pandemics, and Crawler had the potential to evolve into an S-class threat. The Siberian could extend its invulnerability to any other member of the Nine and infamously killed [[Hero]], a founding member of the [[Protectorate]], before carving out Alexandria's eye, cementing the Siberian's status as the Nine's new "untouchable" threat, restoring the Nine's reputation as being immune to retaliation, a reputation that they had lost after [[Glaistig Uaine]] managed to do the seemingly impossible and permanently kill Gray Boy. Mannequin was a "Simurgh-bomb" who went out of his way to kill any Tinkers that tried to make wide-reaching positive changes to the world, and Shatterbird had a power that could span entire cities.

The other known members were members that had either died prior to the Brockton Bay invasion or were filler members not expected to survive on the team for very long.

==== The Nine During Brockton Bay Invasion ====
#[[Jack Slash]]
#[[Bonesaw]]
##[[Murder Rat]]
##[[Hack Job]]
##[[Pagoda]]
#[[Siberian]]
#[[Mannequin]]
#[[Crawler]]
#[[Shatterbird]]
#[[Burnscar]]
#[[Cherish]]
The Nine came to Brockton Bay in order to find a ninth member to fill the roster. They only had eight members due to Cherish killing Hatchet Face in order to prove to Jack Slash that she deserved to join the Nine and due to Jack's refusal to consider Murder Rat a true member of the Nine due to its nature as a relatively mindless creation of Bonesaw, who built Murder Rat by fusing the corpses of [[Ravager]] and [[Mouse Protector]].

At some point, Bonesaw also created Hack Job out of the corpses of Hatchet Face and [[Oni Lee]], and Pagoda out of the corpses of [[Carnal]] and [[Prophet]], who also weren't considered true members for the same reason as Murder Rat. Bonesaw introduced her creations to [[Panacea]] when she sought her out to announce the fact that she had been nominated for membership in the Nine.<ref>https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/interlude-11h/</ref>

<nowiki> </nowiki>Each of the eight members of the Nine were allowed to nominate a Brockton Bay cape for membership. Six candidates were picked. The nominees were forced into a deadly survival game where they were individually "tested" by each of the eight members of the Nine over the course of three days, with the survivor earning membership in the Slaughterhouse Nine. Jack Slash claimed that if more than one candidate survived the tests he would admit defeat and leave the Bay.<ref>https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-11/arc-13-snare/13-01/</ref>

==== Nominees ====
* [[Panacea]], nominated by Bonesaw.
* [[Bitch]], nominated by the Siberian.
* [[Armsmaster]], nominated by Mannequin
* [[Noelle]], nominated by Crawler
* [[Hookwolf]], nominated by Shatterbird
* [[Regent]], nominated by Cherish
Jack Slash and Burnscar did not nominate any candidates. Burnscar wanted to come to the Bay in order to meet her former friend [[Labyrinth]], but she didn't want Labyrinth to actually join, as she was very fond of Labyrinth and didn't wish for her to be corrupted or put in danger of being killed by Burnscar during one of her psychotic episodes, as a side-effect of Burnscar using her pyrokinesis was her conscience and empathy being suppressed. Jack Slash did not find anyone he was particularly interested in before coming to the Bay, although he did end up expressing interest in [[Skitter]] due to her actions during the testing period and also engineered a conflict between himself and [[Theo Anders]] for future entertainment.

During the Brockton Bay invasion, Burnscar, Crawler, and Mannequin were killed, and Cherish was given a fate worse than death by Bonesaw.

== After Brockton Bay ==

=== Members ===

#[[Jack Slash]]
#[[Bonesaw]]
#[[Siberian]]
#[[Hookwolf]]
#[[Damsel of Distress]]
=== History ===
Despite Jack Slash promising to leave if more than one candidate survived, Hookwolf was declared the winner and allowed to join the Slaughterhouse Nine. After fleeing Brockton Bay, they were chased by [[Dragon]] and [[Defiant]], who managed to kill [[William Manton]], and thus causing the Siberian to vanish. Damsel of Distress was picked up in order to help fill out the roster until more useful and long-term members could be found. They used technology taken from [[Toybox]] in order to hide in a pocket dimension.

All members of the Slaughterhouse Nine other than Bonesaw were placed in suspended animation for two years. During this time, Bonesaw was ordered to create nine clones of all past and present members of the Slaughterhouse Nine, with the exception of herself, Hookwolf and Jack Slash (who received no clones), and Gray Boy (who received only one clone). The biotinker [[Blasto]] was kidnapped in order to help Bonesaw accomplish this. She used research notes from the parahuman [[Cranial]] in order to help her implant the clones with false memories and trick the [[Shard|Passengers]] into believing the clones were the real deal so that they would receive the original's powers.

[[Contessa]] visited Bonesaw during this period in order to nudge events to facilitate Bonesaw switching sides during the [[Golden Morning]] and help the heroes.

== Slaughterhouse 9000 ==

=== Members ===

The final iteration of the Slaughterhouse 9 - referred to by fans as the Slaughterhouse 9000 - contained nine clones of every member to have ever been in the Slaughterhouse Nine, with the exceptions of Bonesaw, Jack Slash, Hookwolf, each of whom was the original. In the case of Gray Boy, his [[Shard|Passenger]] restored his original body, and it is implied that he held his original memories in addition to Bonesaw's implanted ones. His power also healed him of any brain modification forcing loyalty to Jack Slash.

In addition, Bonesaw created five "special" clones:<ref name="I25">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/interlude-25/ Interlude 25]</ref>

[[Laughjob]] - Hatchet Face and Chuckles hybrid{{cite}}.

[[Snowmann]] - Mannequin and Winter hybrid.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/sting-26-5/ Sting 26.5]</ref>

[[Tyrant]] - King and Hatchet Face.<ref name="26.3">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/sting-26-3/ Sting 26.3]</ref>

=== History ===
Jack's goal was to challenge [[Theo Anders]] as one of his endless games to stave off boredom, as well as to discover the method he was prophesied to [[Golden Morning|end the world]]. If Theo failed to kill Jack, he would disband the 9000, leaving them to wreak havoc.

During the conflict, Gray Boy percieved weakness in Jack Slash and traps him in a timeloop to make him suffer what might as well be eternal torment. He also managed to trap [[Scion]] in a timeloop before being killed by [[Foil]].

The timeloop Jack Slash was trapped in had enough time between loops to allow him to talk. It also made it impossible for the heroes to kill him. This, combined with his powers being based on broadcasting, meant that the heroes had no way to shut him up and stop him from instigating the [[Golden Morning]].

As of the end of Worm, only four members are confirmed as alive. Jack Slash is trapped in a Grey Boy time bubble, Cherish is trapped at the bottom of a deep undersea trench with Mannequin's life support systems keeping her alive, Harbinger defected to Cauldron before the start of the main story, and Bonesaw defected to the Wardens. Several clones, including some Harbingers, may still be alive.
