Donald Pierce

An industrialist, Donald Pierce first appeared as a high-ranking member of the Hellfire Club Inner Circle, where he held the position of White Bishop, before that organization's first direct encounter with the X-Men. Pierce and the circle were contracted by Fantomex to help him break into The World in exchange for salvage rights to the place and Cluster's indoctrination into their club. But White Bishop and his contemporaries were quickly overwhelmed and decided to beat a hasty retreat instead. During their conflict with the Uncanny's, he battled Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Colossus, and when Wolverine nearly severed his arm, it was discovered that he was a cyborg. The Hellfire Club Inner Circle was eventually defeated, and Donald Pierce's whereabouts were unknown for several years.
