(Wolverine II#37) - As Pierce worked on making a new robotic cyborg of a young girl, the time vortex spit out a piece of paper that helped he and Bonebreaker track Deathstrike's whereabouts to Germany in 1937. Pierce began worrying extensively that the timestream was damaged beyond repair, surmising that people had died due to Deathstrike and Wolverine's battle. Deathstrike soon returned and the time vortex dissipated. She nearly attacked Pierce's deadly new synthetic robot, the Wolverine-lookalike Albert, and showed her the true danger, the small robotic Elsie-Dee.

(Wolverine II#38) - Pierce explained to Deathstrike that Elsie-Dee was loaded with explosives and that she had the mentality of a five-year-old, not knowing that Bonebreaker had accidentally uploaded an increasing intelligence program into her instead. Albert and Elsie-Dee began their mission to find Wolverine and kill him in California.

(Wolverine II#39) - After Pierce built and tested a new cybernetic arm for Deathstrike, he later learned that Albert and Elsie-Dee had overcome their programming.

(Wolverine and the Punisher: Damaging Evidence#1) - The Reavers, including Pierce, Reese, Prettyboy, and Bonebreaker, set a trap for Wolverine in Hong Kong. When the mutant downed Reese, he managed to escape. Pierce then met with the Kingpin, who wanted Pierce to provide new technology. Pierce demanded the Punisher's head in payment or ten million for the job. Pierce agreed to hunt the Punisher.

(Spider-Man: Spirits Of The Earth (fb) ) - Donald Pierce was on hand when Angus Munro approached the Inner Circle for help in exploiting the massive sonic crystal he had uncovered in a subterranean lair beneath his family's castle Duncraig.

(Wolverine and the Punisher: Damaging Evidence#3) - Kingpin sent Pierce 50 million, having failed to kill the Punisher. He sent him the head of Damage, wanting Pierce to make a new cyborg out of him.

(Uncanny X-Men I#281) - The Reavers were drinking heavily and discussing how boring life in the Outback was when Cole said he heard something approaching. Pierce ordered him to shut up just as the Sentinels attacked, tearing into the villains with the intent to kill them. Shinobi Shaw and Trevor Fitzroy viewed the murders from afar. With only Pierce, Deathstrike, and Cylla left standing, the Sentinels closed in to kill Pierce. Deathstrike soon found her claws useless against the machines, which could self-repair, and Cylla knocked her aside. Pierce rushed out to Gateway and ordered him to send him to the one who'd sent the Sentinels. Pierce rushed through, but a few Sentinels made it after him. He landed in front of the White Queen and screamed at her just before the Sentinels killed him.

(Uncanny X-Men I#282) - Pierce's head and shoulders were delivered to Shinobi Shaw by Fitzroy.

(Domino I#3 (fb)) - Pierce was taken captive by Fitzroy and his consciousness and systems were downloaded, leaving his body a lifeless shell. Months later, a mysterious benefactor uploaded Pierce again, but with a new prime directive of building new cyborgs.

(Domino I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Pierce rebuilt the diminutive Pico's hands with cybernetic enhancements, giving him control over electric whips.

(Domino I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Establishing a base in the Yukon, Pierce rebuilt a new Skullbuster and decided to turn genius Milo Thurman into a cyborg subject to Pierce's will.

(Domino I#1 - BTS) - After having Thurman kidnapped, Pierce sent Pico and Lady Deathstrike to stop Domino, who was coming to save Milo.

(Domino I#2) - Domino defeated Pico and Deathstrike before she was knocked out. Pierce had her brought to his Yukon base and he revealed himself to her.

(Domino I#3) - As Pierce explained his plans for Thurman, and then for Domino, she attacked, but he hit her with an energy blast and knocked her to the ground. While delivering an electric charge through her body, and waiting for Thurman's conversion to be complete, Pierce told Domino of his survival. After torturing Thurman a bit more, Pierce ordered Skullbuster and Deathstrike to kill Domino, but she soon managed to defeat both Reavers. Domino retrieved a giant gun and fired it at Pierce, who managed to download his consciousness into the computers and transfer it to another body before Domino exploded the base.

(Cable II#47) - Reinstated to the Hellfire Club, Pierce put together a plot to get revenge on Cable, planning to involve Shaw and Fitzroy, but wanting the killing stroke for himself.

(Cable II#49 (fb) - BTS) - Shaw put Pierce in charge of the "Tomorrow Agenda" operation without giving him specifics on it. Pierce put a hit on Cable.

(Cable II#48 - BTS) - As the Club prepared to go after Cable, reporter Irene Merryweather began investigating Shaw. Pierce put a hit on her, having her entire office killed, but she survived with Cable's help.

(Cable II#49) - In Randall House, Pierce ate breakfast, barely tasting it, and reflecting on his power within the Inner Circle and his desire for revenge on Cable. Pierce soon heard Cable was investigating a Club operation in Algeria, and he rushed to take care of things himself, not knowing it was only a hologram Cable had set so he could storm Randall House. He fought against Paladin, who'd been hired to guard the place, and fought several soldiers, including Taft, who killed himself rather than betray the Circle. Cable learned Pierce was sending arms to Switzerland.

(Cable II#50) - In London, Pierce shared his frustrations with Shaw about not knowing the full story about the Tomorrow Agenda. Shaw took Pierce to the basement of the mansion of deceased Circle member Harry Manners, where they found a large bulk of machinery left by the ancient Apocalypse, who'd once tried taking over the Hellfire Club in the 1800s. Near to opening the mechanism, Shaw introduced Pierce to their ally Ch'Vayre, who Pierce immediately distrusted. As they waited impatiently for the machinery to open, Cable attacked. Finally the Harbinger of Apocalypse awakened and attacked Cable in a fury. Cable and the Harbinger fought across the city while Shaw, Pierce, and Ch'Vayre moved to investigate another holding of Apocalypse.

(Cable II#51) - As the Hellfire Club operatives sought to wipe Cable out, Shaw, Pierce, and Ch'Vayre hiked through the frozen Alps, following Ch'Vayre, who Pierce still didn't trust. Pierce, who didn't need a coat for the cold, continued to doubt the wisdom of the plan. Shaw reminded Pierce that the success of the operation would determine Pierce's ongoing value to the Hellfire Club.

(Cable II#52) - Using special binoculars, Pierce found an Egyptian statue surrounded by hieroglyphics, and he told Ch'Vayre he could live a little longer. As they prepared to break into the massive fortress, Ch'Vayre reminded them of the automated defenses, just as a series of laser cannons started firing and killing the Hellfire Club operatives. Pierce ordered the men to destroy the cannons as Ch'Vayre lead them farther in. Meanwhile, Cable approached, and his temporary ally Wilhelm Lohmer (formerly Master Man) was killed by Hellfire soldiers.

(Cable II#53) - Pierce kicked down a door and inside they found a room full of alien technology. Just as Pierce prepared to finally kill Ch'Vayre, Cable arrived and Pierce immediately launched himself into an attack. As they fought across the room, Shaw imprisoned Ch'Vayre in one of the machines, and Cable soon shattered one of Pierce's hands with a telekinetic blast then knocked Pierce briefly unconscious. As the building crashed down around them, Pierce rushed out after Shaw while Cable tried to free Ch'Vayre. Shaw escaped in a helicopter and Pierce tried to follow, but Shaw cut him loose, reminding him of his failure. Pierce screamed as he fell to the Earth.

(Wolverine II#141 (fb)) - Abandoned by Shaw, and barely surviving the fall from several hundred feet, Pierce eventually found Cable's abandoned Sky Cycle. Using it to discover Cable's Swiss Alp safehouse, Pierce used Cable's technology to repair himself and assumed control of his cyber sentries. With the sentries' assistance, Pierce was able to locate a small cache of Adamantium, which he used to augment his reconstructed form.

(Wolverine II#141) - With his reconstruction nearly completed, Pierce found his hideaway had been infiltrated by Wolverine and Jubilee. Explaining his survival and discovery of the Adamantium, Pierce engaged Wolverine, soon taking the fight outside the chalet while boasting that his enhancements made him invincible. While preparing to finish off Wolverine, Pierce was confronted by the enigmatic Khyber, who claimed that the technology Pierce used actually belonged to him and that he would pay for stealing it. Left alone while Wolverine went to rescue Jubilee from the chalet before Khyber's men lay total waste to it, Khyber tore one of Pierce's arms off and severely damaged Pierce before teleporting away.

(New Mutants II#5 (fb) - BTS) - Seeking to recruit more to his cause against mutants and to begin a new Reavers team, Pierce organized several young men into following them, including Duncan. He ordered them to bring more recruits back.

(New Mutants II#5) - As Pierce lectured the potential new recruits, he was asked by the brash Josh Foley if they had to be made cyborgs. Making an example of the arrogant Foley, Pierce hovered to him, then sliced Foley's hand to show him an example of the danger they faced. Pierce revealed his plan to lead the X-Men and their students into a trap by using Walter Barrett, father of the mutant Sofia Mantega. The Reavers soon took Barrett and his employee Derek hostage, and waited for the mutants to arrive. Duncan and Josh were questioned by Sofia and her mutant allies David Alleyne, Laurie Collins, and Kevin Ford. As Foley discovered he was a mutant with the ability to heal, Collins scared off the Reavers with her pheromone powers. Pierce grabbed Collins by the neck, his blades digging into her back.

(New Mutants II#6) - The Reavers tried attacking Sofia, but an escaped Derek aided her, then Karma possessed their minds and forced their surrender. As Pierce dropped Collins' body, Ford rushed at him, using his death touch to decay Pierce's coat. As Pierce wasted away, he called out to Foley for help, but Foley chose to heal Collins instead. Moonstar stopped Ford from killing Pierce, and ordered Pierce be taken to a hospital immediately. The Reavers attacked Foley at his home later, and Foley's parents chose to let it happen, disgusted their son was a mutant.

(New Mutants II#13 (fb) - BTS) - His flesh still off his bones, Pierce was incarcerated in the Cage, an international prison, where an energy field turned off his cybernetics, keeping him barely alive. He was scheduled to be executed months later.

(New Mutants II#13) - Pierce's nephew, Justin, an FBI agent, visited Pierce, who was disgusted to see Justin. Justin informed Pierce that if he testified against Ford, who was being implicated in other murders, they would stay his execution. Pierce agreed, on the condition that he could return to an American prison. At the New York airport later, Pierce was being led by federal agents when he extended a blade from his arm, killed his guards, and escaped. Pierce rushed off, letting Justin live, and quickly contacted Duncan and the other Reavers so they could get revenge on Foley, who'd joined Xavier's school. Attaching new skin to his face, Pierce told the Reavers that this mission would determine their worthiness to receive cybernetic enhancements. Monitoring the FBI stations at the X-Men's mansion, Pierce confirmed that Foley was on-campus before moving in. With helmets guarding them from telepathy, the Reavers were immediately attacked by Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Sunspot, Magma, Moonstar, and Karma. Wolfsbane defeated Duncan, letting him go soon after, while Sunspot knocked the helmets off the others, giving Karma mental control of them. Cannonball disarmed Pierce, Moonstar toppled him, then Magma silenced his threats with several balls of lava.

(Uncanny X-Men I#454 (fb) - BTS) - Pierce planned to seize Shaw's control of the Hellfire Club. He designed a new group of cybernetic mercenaries and called them the Cleaning Crew.

(Uncanny X-Men I#453) - Pierce attacked the Paris branch of the Hellfire Club taking down the new Inner Circle (Sage, Sebastian Shaw, Sunspot) and Bishop and Storm of the X-Men, with Tantalus webs.

(Uncanny X-Men I#454) - When Storm managed to free her way free from the webs, Pierce ordered the Cleaning Crew after them. While Storm fought them, Pierce taunted his remaining captives, deciding who to kill first. Wolverine and Nightcrawler joined Storm, helping her defeat the Cleaning Crew, and Wolverine killed many of them. Wolverine attacked Pierce, who was barely phased at being cut. Pierce fired missiles full of combat nannites from his fingertips, and the missiles exploded on Wolverine's skull. Pierce explained that they'd been specifically designed to deal with Wolverine's healing factor, then hit Wolverine with an electric shock before sprouting claws of his own and tearing the mutant's skin repeatedly. As Nightcrawler battled more Cleaning Crew, Pierce taunted him until Storm arrived, defeating the cyborgs. As Pierce had defenses against Storm's powers, Storm tried tossing her sharp tiara at him, just as Pierce hit her with an energy blast. Wolverine deflected the tiara, however, allowing Sage and Shaw to get free. Shaw and Pierce battled, then, and Shaw absorbed the kinetic energy from the repeated blows. Generating blue laser claws from his fingers, Pierce mortally wounded Shaw, who managed to muster the last of his strength and punch Pierce's head off. As the head bounced across the floor, Pierce's body collapsed in a heap.

(X-Treme X-Men Annual 2001) - Manipulated by the Shadow King, Pierce sent the Reavers to capture Rogue, who was staying in a hotel with a faction of the X-Men. The Reavers (Bonebreaker, Cole, Macon, Prettyboy, Reese, Skullbuster) attacked, ordered to kill all but Rogue, but Bishop, Thunderbird, Sage (Tessa, who'd joined the X-Men), and Storm helped defeat them. Rogue went to confront Pierce (controlled by Shadow King) directly, but he took her by surprise, knocking her out with a punch. When Rogue managed to defeat Shadow King, the Reavers were arrested.

(X-Force III#3) - Pierce was at his base in Prague, getting his cybernetics updated, when members of the Purifiers burst in to retrieve him. He fired on them, but willingly went with them when their artillery proved superior to his. Later, Cameron Hodge, the Leper Queen, Graydon Creed, Stephen Lang, Bolivar Trask, Donald Pierce, and William Stryker were infected with a strain of the Phalanx virus and put under the direct control of Bastion. Matthew Risman, leader of the Purifiers, watched the process, which was incredibly painful for those who'd been living. Bastion surmised that Pierce and the Reavers had been responsible for 348 mutant deaths.

(X-Force III#4) - Pierce and the others stood by while Bastion issued orders to the Purifiers.

(X-Force III#6) - As the Purifiers were destroyed by X-Force, Bastion took Hodge and the others away with him.

(X-Force III#7) - Pierce put together plans to kill mutants.

(Young X-Men#1 (fb) - BTS) - Pierce put together a plan to pose as Cyclops, who'd recently disbanded Xavier's school, and recruit wayward mutants into thinking they were X-Men, then assassinating other mutants.

(Young X-Men#1) - Pierce found Wolf Cub in Erfurt, Germany, preparing to kill Maximus Lobo, but convinced him to join the X-Men team instead. "Cyclops" then tracked Dust to Bakwa, Afghanistan; Ink to a jail La Jolla, California; and Rockslide, who he had to blast through the window with his "optic blast", in Naples, Florida. Rockslide demanded that his friend Blindfold join the team with him as she'd already had a precognitive vision of the team being formed. Pierce took the young mutants back to the subbasements in Westchester, where he planned to train them in the Danger Cave. He told them that Cannonball, Sunspot, Magma, and former mutant Moonstar had formed a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

(Young X-Men#6 (fb) - BTS) - Seeing Blindfold as a wildcard, Pierce (as himself) contacted Ink and offered a large sum of cash for Blindfold to be delivered to Pierce. Ink was not aware of Pierce posing as Cyclops.

(Young X-Men#2) - Pierce trained the young mutants in honing their killing skills over the following three weeks. After witnessing a disastrous training against the New Mutants in the Danger Cave, "Cyclops" lectured the recruits on how important killing now was. The next day, he chose two targets, Magma and Moonstar, and divided them into two teams. Ink easily defeated both Blindfold (his only teammate on the mission) and Moonstar while the others began battling Magma.

(Young X-Men#3) - Ink delivered Moonstar and Blindfold to Pierce in his base in Manhattan, where Mole Man had left behind a series of deep tunnels. After monitoring Cannonball and Sunspot at the Hellfire Club, he disguised himself as Cyclops again and heard Ink's lies about not finishing the mission and Blindfold being taken hostage by Moonstar. The others returned with a captive Magma, but Dust was transformed into glass and kept in the infirmary. "Cyclops" discussed Wolf Cub's killing instinct with him, then confirmed they'd go after the others tomorrow. He later returned to the tunnels, where Pierce revealed himself to Moonstar and Blindfold, breaking up a fight between them.

(Young X-Men#4) - "Cyclops" tested out Ink's fighting prowess, noting his new tattoos and the new powers they gave him. He soon sent the others against Cannonball and Sunspot, claiming he needed to remain behind as back-up. Just as the mutants moved in, "Cyclops" was attacked by the strange Jonas Graymalkin, who put out the lights in order to increase his strength in the dark. Graymalkin quickly destroyed Pierce's image inducer, taking away the Cyclops illusion.

(Young X-Men#5) - Pierce soon managed to get the lights back up and knocked Graymalkin into Dust, who shattered, inadvertently freeing Magma as well. Pierce teleported back to the tunnels as Magma helped Dust heal. After the Young X-Men discovered Pierce's true identity, they went with him to the tunnels, where he attacked the young group. After Dust tore the flesh from his form, leaving his creepy skeleton beneath, Pierce slashed into Wolf Cub, killing him. Rockslide then defeated Pierce, but refused to kill him at the dying Wolf Cub's request.

(Young X-Men#6) - In a cell with the flesh still off his face, Pierce treated Dust sardonically when she visited him, telling him that his prejudice and hate reminded her of home.

(Young X-Men#7) - Dust continued visiting Pierce in his cell, though he was allowed to walk the grounds freely with her. With his face now with new flesh, he continued taunting her with his knowledge, knowing she wanted to know which of her team was not a mutant. She revealed that she continued talking to him because he didn't care, and she revealed that she was dying. He then revealed that Ink was not a mutant, but that his tattoo artist

(Young X-Men#10) - Pierce offered to help cure Dust if she would let him out of his cell.

(X-Force III#12) - While in the X-Men's prison, Pierce continued taunting Dust even while he used his cybernetics to record the headquarters blueprints and sent them back to Bastion.

(X-Force III#13) - Pierce, from his cell, taunted Dust that soon her friends would die, knowing the plans Bastion had set into motion.

(Young X-Men#11) - Pierce continued manipulating Dust on her visits to his cell. She soon helped him escape, but the security system registered it immediately. They rushed toward an escape ship, but were blocked by Beast, Cyclops, Moonstar, Sunspot, and Wolverine. Faced with the decision of helping Pierce or attacking her friends, Dust turned on Pierce, ripping the flesh off his skull again. Pierce held his own against the mutants until the Young X-Men (Anole, Cipher, Graymalkin, Ink, Rockslide) attacked. The battle paused when Dust appeared to have died.

(Young X-Men#12) - A furious Rockslide savagely launched himself at Pierce, but he was convinced not to kill Pierce, who was placed back in his cell. Dust was later revived by Ink.

(X-Force III#19) - Pierce reported in to Bastion regarding the X-Men's activities. Pierce complained about having to remain captive, but Bastion ordered him to remain until his orders changed.

(X-Necrosha#1) - While in his cell on Utopia, alongside Sebastian Shaw, the Tattooed Man, and Empath, Donald Pierce saw deceased mutants Harry Leland and Shinobi Shaw attack. He transmitted back to Bastion that these men had the techno-organic virus in their system.

(New Mutants IV#12) - In his holographic prison, Donald Pierce smiled, prepared to act on Bastion's orders.

(X-Men: Legacy#235) - Pierce successfully dismantled Cerebra, causing painful psychic feedback in the X-Men's telepaths.

(Uncanny X-Men#524) - Still successfully convincing Danger that he was in captivity, Pierce was ordered by Bastion to destroy the X-Men's modes of transportation, beginning with their planes.

(New Mutants IV#13) - Acting on intelligence from Pierce, Bastion took out the X-Men's last teleporter, the Vanisher, and Pierce eagerly moved in to destroy the ships. He did so, after activating a containment shell over the island, and was attacked by Wolverine, X-23, Magma, Namor, and Cyclops. After he was torn to pieces, he screamed in their faces about Bastion's plans to annihilate them, then was decapitated by Cyclops.

(Uncanny X-Men III#5) - Donald Pierce interacted among other criminals aboard the Queen Kathleen ship.

What came first? The egg or the chicken? The White King or the White Bishop? Between Uncanny X-Men I#245-252 Pierce was referenced as the former White King of the Hellfire Club. Since then he was always called the White Bishop in connection with the Hellfire Club. Donald even has his own profile as White Bishop in the OHOTMU Master Edition.
--Markus Raymond

The placement of Uncanny X-Men Annual II#2 is difficult as Selene is part of the club, but she didn't join until after Pierce had been kicked out and incarcerated. For the purpose of this profile, we'll assume that Pierce was temporarily out of prison and associating with the Hellfire Club for a time.

Donald Pierce received a handbook profile as part of the Hellfire Club in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#5 (May, 1983) and the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Deluxe Edition#5 (April, 1986). He received his own profile in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z HC#9 (July, 2009).
