Dark Avengers #7, #8 and Uncanny X-Men #512

Adam-X appears after a long time off the radar, at the Gene Pool Bar among a few others. With him are Julian Keller – better known as “Hellion”; Ben Hammil – better known as “Match”; Lorelei Travis; Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis – better known as “Avalanche”; Jeremiah Muldoon – better known as “Meld”; Roberto Da Costa – better known as “Sunspot.” They’re gathered to fight and put an end to Normon Osborn’s presence in San Francisco – which is supposedly a haven for all Mutants. They decide to make their stand at Union Square Park.

The team of rebellious Mutants are naturally defeated by the Dark Avengers. Adam takes a hit from Mimic’s optic blast than kicked into the folds of Cloak’s shadows and held in the Darkforce Dimension.
