Noah Adam Mahn isn't a Game Changer, the Extinctioners universe has always been Mature-rated, even before humans arrived - Alden has had bloody inter-species wars, genocide, murder and so on for generations.. Scarlet's brother was murdered in front of her eyes at an early age by a gang of felines, who evaded justice and this turned Scarlet into a vicious racist for much of her early life and Lynx Wylde was going around cannibalizing, raping and mutilating females for years prior to becoming an official "super villain".

Mind-Swipe was raised in poverty and when her mother died she experienced her dying moments via being unable to control her psychic link : Force-Wave was raised in an abusive home with a father that went on a rampage and tried to kill him, resulting in Force-Wave killing his own father to survive, his mother kicked him out in fear and he spent his teens fighting others.

Copy Cat was involved in street-gangs and so forth.. basically, all the characters had craptacular lives well before Noah came along - they are designed to be "anthro yet alien", however they are still very human.. with all the horrors that come with that (war, crime and so on) - as you know, Howard was inspired by Marvel comics in creating the series and he didn't shy away from the crapsack world that goes with any X-Men inspired setting (because X-Men is a grimdark comic book, even when "light" it deals with incredibly dark materials and antagonists).

Howard also admited he can't do light-hearted material too well and when he did a crossover with the more comedy-based Androzon comics he made Zora and the Cat Sisters much more cruel and vicious - this is because the Extinctioners universe itself is very dark.. they aren't traditional superheroes, rather paramilitary types with super-powers (again much like X-Men, who tend to be outlaws rather than traditional heroes).
