Who is Bulk?

Origin Bulk and his friend Glow Worm are two mutants that were living underneath a hazardous waste dumping facility in New Jersey and were slowly dying because of radiation exposure. Bulk and Glow Worm were looking for refrigerator coils at the dump site when they were attacked by some bargain basement mutant hunters. The bullets bounced off Bulk's body and Glow Worm repelled their attack with a glo-ball cocktail. The two mutants retreated into their underground dwellings and decided to make a statement involving X-Factor . The two mutants knew they were dying and wanted their deaths to mean something so they challenged X-Factor to a fight outside their headquarters. Bulk and Glow Worm wanted to destroy X-Factor because they claimed to be mutant hunters and use their martyrdom as a reminder to the public that mutants should be feared. Angel had a plan so Cyclops , Beast and Iceman came out and appeared to be helping the two radioactive antagonists. The media dubbed them the X-Terminators and they wanted to take down X-Factor.
