- When breaking obstacles, Huntmaster Saber wields the Adamantium Claws. A Harvesting Tool exclusive to Wolverine.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- IO Hunter’s codenames were "Thunder Meow Light" and "Thunder Kitty".
- This plays off Huntmaster Saber's Boss codename which was "Thunder Meow".
- It was possible to prevent IO Hunter from spawning by quickly eliminating the retreating IO Forces before Stage 3 started.
- IO Hunter's appearance is an inverted recolor of Huntmaster Saber. Likely indicating he is a disciple trained by him.
- IO Hunter reuses Huntmaster Saber's voicelines in combat.
- Just like Huntmaster Saber, he:
- Wields the Adamantium Claws when breaking obstacles. A Harvesting Tool exclusive to Wolverine.
- Uses the standard Chapter 3 Boss music despite having another unique track.
- Though in the setting he is found it, an argument can be made that its more appropriate than Huntmaster Saber's Boss track.
