| HistoryText | - The Stix Brothers are a clan of apparently identical mutants of indeterminate number. All of them are, like their father, unprincipled, untrustworthy and utterly ruthless. They are laconic, adopt a dress similar to that of gunfighters in the American West, and are stone-cold killers.
The Stix brothers all, as far as we know, work for the Search/Destroy Agency as bounty hunters or 'Strontium Dogs'. The first Stix we ever encountered competed with Johnny Alpha to hunt down Adolf Hitler in the the incident known as 'The Schicklgruber Grab', but was killed. Later, two of his brothers entered the employ of Alpha's father, the mutant-hating bigot Nelson Bunker Kreelman, who used them to attempt to get revenge on his son. They slaughtered the inhabitants of Jock's Landing on the water world of Och-Eleven and blamed the killings on Alpha and his partner Wulf Sternhammer, leading to termination warrants being put out on the blameless pair. These two Stixes were also killed by Alpha.
Several other Stix Brothers have been seen since, often clashing with Johnny Alpha or others such as the vampire woman Durham Red. It remains unclear how many Stixes there actually are, though at least eight have been identified.
