As the energies of the Goddess, amplified by the Cosmic Egg, blanketed Earth with energy designed to bring out universal salvation, Silver Sable was hired to make sure food and medicine shipments made it to their destinations safely. In Somalia, the Bio-Genes sought to drive Silver Sable and the US military from their country and take over themselves. Leecher used his psychic powers to reinforce the negative emotions of his teammates, counteracting the Goddess' energies.
The Bio-Genes attacked Silver Sable and her agents, the Intruders and Wild Pack, whose effectiveness was reduced by the peaceful emotions caused by the Goddess. After a short struggle, however, their fight was interrupted by Baron Strucker and Hydra, who sought to claim Somalia for the Southern Warlords.
As they fought together against Hydra, most of the Bio-Genes began to realize that Sable's group meant them no harm. Regardless, Leecher used his powers to force his teammates to continue attacking Sable and her agents. Ultimately, Sable proved able to resist Leecher's mind control and forced him to realize that they should be allies. Respecting Sable, Leecher withdrew his control from all of the combatants, and the Bio-Genes withdrew from the conflict.
