Read more about The Brood at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Entertainment The Brood are a race of insect-like, parasitic, extraterrestrial beings that appear in the comic book published by Marvel Comics, especially Uncanny X-Men. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Dave Cockrum, they first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #155 (March 1982). The Brood possess wing, fang teeth and a stinging tail. They have a hive mentality and mindlessly follow a queen. To reproduce, they must infect other races with their egg. Despite their resemblance to insects, the Brood have endoskeleton as well as exoskeleton. Also unlike insects, they have fanged jaws instead of mandibles. Their skulls are triangular and flat, with a birthmark (such as the battle axe which is most common in broodlings but are different for each Brood) between their large eyes. Their two front legs are actually long tentacles they can use to manipulate objects. Due to their natural body armor and teeth, the Brood are very dangerous in combat. In addition, they have stingers that can deliver either paralyzing or killing poison. CBUB Match Record:
