 After rescuing the Brood mutant and defeating the Brood in battle and allowing them to escape, the X-Men had their Brood embryos removed, to be raised aboard the Peak, with the Brood mutant acting as their mentor.The 2012 X-Men subseries "Wolverine and the X-Men" featured a Broodling as a student at Wolverine's Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.Nicknamed "Broo" by Oya, the Broodling was a mutant, and both intelligent and non-violent able to wear clothing and glasses (which he felt made him look less frightening).
