The New Hellions stole the Armageddon Man, a mutant kept on ice since the 1950s, possessing uncontrollable and immensely destructive powers, intending to use him to blackmail the United States. X-Force, including Tarot's former teammate Proudstar and King Bedlam's younger brother, Jesse Aaronson (Bedlam), disrupted this plan, and the New Hellions fled.
