History:
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Repo Man" (fb) - BTS) - Puck was drafted onto Canada's premiere superhero team by General Chasen of Department H. They became known as Alpha Flight, consisting of Aurora, Northstar, Sasquatch, Shaman, Snowbird, Vindicator and Wolverine.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Repo Man" (fb) - BTS) - Wolverine left Alpha Flight for unknown reasons, moving to the United States where he joined the X-Men.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Repo Man" (fb) - BTS) - The years following Wolverine's defection, Department H and General Chasen repeatedly tried to duplicate the process that gave Wolverine his Adamantium skeleton. With the results less than encouraging, Chasen planned to bring Wolverine "home" to examine the mutant. Chasen contacted Alpha Flight, falsely promising to get Wolverine back so he could work with Alpha Flight again. To do so Heather Hudson asked Wolverine to come and meet her in the Canadian wilderness.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Repo Man") - Puck and the full force of Alpha Flight witnessed Wolverine's arrival and confronted him. Believing he'd fallen into a trap Wolverine attacked his former teammates who quickly retaliated. During the battle that followed Puck attacked Wolverine with one of his famous cartwheels but was pushed away. Not long after the siblings Aurora and Northstar managed to slow Wolverine down long enough for Puck and Sasquatch to strike and take him out. Alpha Flight then brought Wolverine to Department H where General Chasen and Heather Hudson waited to examine the mutant while the team was forced to wait outside.
Curious to learn what they were doing with Wolverine, Puck and the others waited outside the lab, eavesdropping, the team learned Chasen wished to remove Wolverine's Adamantium. Appalled, Puck and Alpha Flight bursted into the lab but were countered by Department H's security androids. As the fight went on, Wolverine managed to free himself and after destroying several androids and chase off General Chasen, tried to flee but was stopped by Vindicator who'd kept a grudge ever since Wolverine's defection. Vindicator tried to stop Wolverine but when Wolverine tried to kill the team's leader he was stopped by Heather Hudson. Promised to spare his life, Wolverine threatened to other members of Alpha Flight he wouldn't hold back if they came after him. Puck and the others watched as Wolverine left Department H.
(X-Men '97: the Animated Series cartoon - "Tolerance is Extinction - Part III") - Puck and his fellow Alpha Flight friends Aurora and Northstar appeared in Genosha, presumably to help with the large-scale rescue operation after Bastion's monstrous Mastermold had committed mass genocide. Puck and his friends stood alongside Cipher and Psylocke when Bastion's large army of Prime Sentinels descended upon Genosha and other parts of the planet after Earth's magnetic field was restored. Although unseen, Puck and the others supposedly battled the Prime Sentinels until Bastion's assault was halted when he and the downfall of Magneto's Asteroid M was stopped by the X-Men after which they disappeared from the planet.

Puck was voiced by Don Francks.
When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
