Biography[]
Erik Hallgrimsson was a young male mutant who became a member of the student body at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, during the years when the school opened its doors to the world. He was short, broad shouldered, had green skin, and a mottled bald head, which gave rise to his code-name, Crater.
Erik Hallgrimsson was seen wandering about the front of the school on a day that many angry humans held an anti-mutant protest rally just beyond the gates of the property. Several of the more attractive students openly laughed at Crater for his appearance. [1]
Due to the machinations of the mentally unbalanced Wanda Maximoff, the majority of the mutant population lost their unique abilities during the "Decimation" event, which has also come to be known as M-Day. Erik Hallgrimsson was one the many mutants who lost their powers. [2]
Erik Hallgrimsson was one of several de-powered students who were loaded into a transfer bus that was attacked by William Stryker and his Purifiers. The bus exploded, killing many mutants. It is unconfirmed whether Erik Hallgrimsson died at this time or not. [3][4]
