    John had accepted the offer to become a part of a mutant group that was supposed to bring in his own kind. Although John saw this as far from what he wanted to do with his life, he accepted his role and became a teammember of the new Weapon X mutant crew. He had several missions with the team, growing in his role as a mutant tracker. It was however during this time that John noticed his powers going haywire, sometimes being unable to return to his human state after having been in his aquatic state. It was during a fight with the Mutant Underground, which sought to destroy the new Weapon X faccility, that John's powers let up, and he disintegrated in front of his teammates.
