William Stryker found out about the baby by checking the info Nimrod gave him, and paid the facility to create a monster that would hunt and eat mutants. Which is what Predator X is.

He's a really horrible idea.
I dunno, a biological weapon created out of the stolen cells of a cast member? I think that's pretty cool.
'Course, it makes little sense (for the writers) to have something like Predator X when there are so few mutants around.
The only positive about Pred X is that that storyline revealed wierd properties to Mercury's powers and helped me formulate a theory:
I think Mercury's hand bonded with Nimrod when it was cut off just like the tissue sample tried to bond with the lab assistant. That's where his repair and reconfiguration capabilities came from and why Nimrod couldn't fix himself while Stryker had him.
He's a really horrible idea.
His name is bad, anything with an "X" in the end of it makes it more lame than cool.
But all in all it seems like an interesting threat, IMHO.

Even if the creature ends up being amazing, it will always deserve at least a little mocking for the name.

Predator X horrified the world when it killed Mammomax, the best new villain of the last five years.
Thus, we must destroy it. Slowly and painfully.

I giggled when that happened. Sorry, insensitive, I know. But we know that everyone's favourite mutant pachyderm will return triumphantly in Uncanny #500.
I liked the idea of Predator X in the Mercury Falling arc, but I'd rather they'd just tied it up there. It seems there are more than enough villains in MC already.

It was created in New X-Men and has been leading up to be in Messiah CompleX since its first appearance.

He's the future breakout star of the X-books, and a principal character in X-Queeze Me?! a new mini-series featuring a rag-tag team of heroes with ridiculous names investigating a serial killer of other characters with ridiculous names.
The tough-as-nails misfit mash-up of:
Stacey X!

I really did like Mammomax. He might have been goofy, but there's just something so awesome about a giant, super-strong elephant-man with dissolve-o-bile.
Best new villain of the last five years, I tells ya. Which makes me doubly mad that he was fed to Predator X in the meat-grinder that is New X-Men.

"Oh no its Sage whose powers can destroy my own, based on my hidden secret origin in the hills of Idaho where Sage worked as a spy/farm worker on her summers off from the Hellfire club later she destroyed me and then I returned due to the invention of this other character who was really THE SHADOW KING"

Other than being two words, the second of which is "X", and being X-Men villains, Mutant X and Predator X have nothing in common.
One's a reality-warping wanker whose Mama MacTaggart couldn't get him over his Daddy issues and got punched through the heart by Colossus.
The other is a slathering, giant hound of a monster with tracking abilities, the ability to regenerate from nearby matter. Which, it was wounded near a part of Mercury, and why it's metal now.
Now that we've cleared that up... you were never good at the game on Sesame Street when they played, "One of these things is not like the other things..." I'd wager.

Yeah, they're just SOOOO totally similar. Oh wait, no they aren't, only their names are similar, and at that, only that it's <noun> X. Sure, the name ain't original or even that great, but to suggest that Predator X is a rip off of Mutant X/Proteus is...well...UTTERLY ridiculous and without merit.

Yes, he's obviously a Professor X rip off.

That's at least a 50% similarity. Add in that they both have a shiny head and the rip off is just too obvious.

Why exactly did they need Mercury's skin to give to the monsters to begin with? Seems kinda odd they'd give liquid metal powers to something that couldn't fully use the powers. It's not like the things are smart enough to make stabby weapons out of it beyond the usual animal claws and given that they're flesh and bone underneath, it's not like it helps getting past obstacles.

For starters it gave it regenerative powers. X-23 would cut it, and it would heal thanks to the skin.
