The Slaughterhouse Nine are a group of nine serial killers who roam from city to city in North America to commit sensationalist and depraved acts of violence.

Current Members

Jack Slash

•See Jack Slash The present leader of the Nine, he has the ability to make the cutting edge of his knives extend as far as he likes outwards from their physical length. He is described by Dinah Alcott as the man who will set the end of the world in motion. According to Scion, his power is the result of receiving the weakened "broadcast" shard that allowed communication between the Entities, which grants him both his blade-projection powers and his instinctive Thinker ability. Trapped in an endless time-loop by Gray Boy's clone.

Bonesaw

•See Bonesaw A demented but childlike tinker no older than fourteen who specializes in organic beings. She joined the Slaughterhouse Nine after they killed her entire family and had her revive them, only to do it again over and over until she broke mentally. Surrendered to the Protectorate after hearing about Jack Slash's fate.

Shatterbird

•See Shatterbird A telekinetic of silicon, controlling the glass through high-frequency sounds and one of the most successful members of the team at identifying new candidates for membership. She was born in the Arab Emirates and dosed with a Cauldron formula, prompting the manifestation of her powers and the deaths of thousands. Eventually made her way to London, then America, joining the Slaughterhouse Nine. Captured by Regent, and abandoned by the surviving members of the Slaughterhouse Nine when they left the city. Killed by Vista and the Brockton Wards during the Echidna arc.

Crawler

•See Crawler A massive regenerator who in his original form was a rather small man at about 5'5". Every time he is harmed by something and survives, he becomes more able to resist it in the future. Killed when the PRT bombed him with some of Bakuda's ordinance, but Bonesaw makes nine clones out of him.

Mannequin

•See Mannequin Known as Sphere before he became a victim of the Simurgh. Was trying to solve all the world problems — famine, global warming, etc. — but flipped when his wife and children were killed and sealed himself away in a doll-like body. Also killed by the PRT with Bakuda's bombs. Cloned by Bonesaw.

The Siberian

•See Siberian An invincible, black and white striped woman with a fetish for eating people, although she does not need them for sustenance. Capable of bestowing her invincibility on anyone or anything she touches. Actually a projection created by William Manton. Killed by Dragon and Defiant in Boston, and then cloned by Bonesaw.

Burnscar

•See Burnscar A manipulator of fire who becomes less and less controlled the more fire she is using. Able to teleport freely through flames. Was incarcerated in the same facility as Labyrinth, once. Killed by Grue after his second trigger event.

Hatchet Face

•See Hatchet Face A Power Nullifier with superhuman strength and enhanced durability. Cherish used her range advantage to kill him; Bonesaw brought his corpse back to something resembling life. Cloned by Bonesaw.

Cherish

•See Cherish A daughter of Heartbreaker who escaped and joined the Nine after she killed Hatchet Face. Detects and controls emotions. Trapped on the floor of the bay by Bonesaw before the Nine left town. May have become the fifteenth Butcher after Skitter and Bitch drove Butcher XIV into her despair-sphere.

Hookwolf

•See Siberian


Deceased/Former Members

King

Male. The founder and leader of the original Slaughterhouse Nine. Large and muscular, he had superhuman strength and a form of conditional invulnerability where he automatically and instantaneously transferred any injuries he should have received to the bodies of everyone he had touched in the preceding 24 hours. Killed by a team-up between the young Jack Slash and Harbinger.

Harbinger

Male. A teenager with functionally infallible CQC skills and broader undetermined Thinker talents. Close friends with Jack Slash. Playing along with Jack in their murder game, along with making a name for himself, was the primary reason Harbinger had for staying with the Nine. He mysteriouly disappeared from the Nine shortly after he and Jack assassinated King and has not been seen since. Currently works for Cauldron as the Number Man. 

Gray Boy

Chuckles

Male. A tall obese pear-shaped man whose face was tattooed to resemble clown makeup. A speedster, his brain and legs operated at inhumanly fast speeds while his arms and chest possess superstrength. However, due to the fact his superspeed was permanently switched on and had been so since his trigger event, he perceived the world in perpetual slow motion and was incapable of normal communication. He managed to teach himself to make a sound similar to laughter, hence the name.

Screamer

Female. Had the ability to perceive and finely manipulate all sound within a mile radius of her location, letting her do, among other things, perfect duplications of enemy radio chatter/voices and project unending screams into their eardrums. Used it for team communications, surveillance and psy-ops against heroes.

Winter

Female. White-haired, with white irises edged in black. A former child-soldier, mercenary and arms dealer. Her power generated a wide area effect that sapped heat from the environment, kinetic energy from moving objects and volition from biological life forms. Favored guns and grenade launchers. Was lovers with Crimson.

Crimson

Male. Had the power to grow into a super-strong super-durable state after drinking human blood. Wielded an enormous sword. Was lovers with Winter.

Breed

Male. Created monsters that serially infested and fed on human bodies, growing in size and lethality with every corpse over the course of their life-cycle. Killed when an unnamed hero called in an incendiary missile strike on his location.

Murder Rat

Female. Created by Bonesaw via fusion of a villain named Ravager and a hero named Mouse Protector. Possessed enhanced agility, enhanced reflexes, enhanced flexibility, enhanced strength, foot-long razor-claws, the ability to inflict unhealing wounds and the ability to teleport to any wound she inflicted.

Nyx

Female. A Case-53 with red skin, black eyes and vents along her hairline and arms. Had the power to sculpt seamless illusions from a poisonous gas emitted from said vents. Breaking the illusions by physical force resulted in the gas being released indiscriminately.

Nice Guy

Male. A Stranger with the power to make people think of him as a perfectly harmless bystander no matter what murderous action he might be taking.

Skinslip

Male. A minor regenerator with a changer ability, allowing him to manipulate his own skin. Skinslip’s skin can act like a grappling hook, allowing him to climb, and it can help break falls. He can also smother and bludgeon his opponents with it. Can extend his ability by flaying people and crudely stitching or stapling their skin to his own. Regeneration connects the tissues and extends his power’s breadth and reach, but it doesn't prevent all rejection or decay, forcing him to replenish it from time to time.

Miasma

Male. A stranger, invisible and undetectable but for an odorless gas he gives off that wears away at other’s minds, causing headaches, ringing in the ears, watery eyes and eventual blindness, memory loss and coma.

Psychosoma

Male. Stranger four, master seven. Tall, bald and narrow, with pencil-thin mustache and beard, spidery fingers. Had the power to transform people into monsters. Carefully calibrated damage would revert them back to their human selves albeit at the risk of being promptly slaughtered by any of his victims who had not yet reverted.

About Serial Killers And Parahumans

A serial killer is typically defined as an individual who has killed three or more people over a period of more than a month, with down time (a "cooling off period") between the murders, and whose motivation for killing is usually based on psychological gratification. The motives of serial killers are generally placed into four categories: visionary (believing they are another person or are compelled to murder by entities such as the Devil or God), mission-oriented ( justifying their acts as "ridding the world" of a certain type of person perceived as undesirable), hedonistic (they feel pleasure from killing.This pleasure can come from lust, thrill and/or profit) and power or control (to gain and exert power over their victim).

The majority of reported and investigated serial killers in the USA are white males, from a lower-to-middle-class background, usually in their late twenties to early thirties. But according to the FBI, and based on percentages of the U.S. population, whites are not more likely than other races to be serial killers.

The reason behind someone becoming a serial killer (nature or nurture) is still open to debate. But empirical research shows that most of them share some characteristic like having been bullied as children or abused (emotionally, physically and/or sexually) by a family member. These two episodes in particular can lead to a trigger event which explains why there are so many parahuman serial killers.
