History
Eric the Red shared a similar history to his Prime Universe counter-part until the second team of X-Men did not form. Eric the Red was sent to earth by Emperor D'ken to prevent Lilandra Neramani from contacting Professor X. In doing this he recruited Nightcrawler and John Proudstar to attack the X-Men but they were defeated and Eric the Red captured. He was initially placed on Muir Island with Moira MacTaggert but was moved to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.[1]
