==Crimson Pirates== '''The Crimson Pirates''' are a supervillain group and minor recurring adversaries of the [[X-Men]] appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team and its members were created by [[Chris Claremont]] and [[Adam Kubert]], and first appear in ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'' #384 (July 2000).

The Crimson Pirates are a team of superpowered mercenaries and slavehunters, mostly under the employ of the interdimensional slave trader [[List of Marvel Comics characters: V|Tullamore Voge]]. Its membership includes the following individuals: *'''Killian''', the red-hued leader of the Pirates who wears highly resilient armor equipped with energy blasters. *'''Bloody Bess''', a silver-haired human-like woman, and the team's [[Telepathy|telepath]]. *'''Broadside''', a huge, green-skinned male who acts as the team's heavy weapons specialist. *the '''Sea Dogs''', a group of identical green-skinned males who share a group empathy, enabling them to coordinate their actions, and act as the grunts of the team.

The Crimson Pirates first came into conflict with the X-Men after their employer Tullamore Voge was captured by [[Gambit (Marvel Comics)|Gambit]] and the Russian authorities. The Pirates executed a prison break and temporarily captured several X-Men, who broke free and defeated the slavers.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #384 and #385, July and August 2000)</ref> Later, [[Nightcrawler (character)|Nightcrawler]] and [[Scorpion Boy]] were forced to battle the Pirates when they attempted to kidnap [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] prodigy [[List of Xavier Institute students and staff#2010s|Ziggy Karst]], who was subsequently sheltered at the [[X-Mansion|Jean Grey School for Higher Learning]]. During that fight, Nightcrawler and Bess developed an interest in each other.<ref>''Nightcrawler'' (vol. 4) #5-6 (2014)</ref>

Shortly afterwards, the Pirates accidentally released the [[Shadow King]] from his internment, who quickly possessed most of the team.
