Years later, Forge's mentor Nazé was killed and his form and memories stolen by a Dire Wraith, an alien parasite.
The Adversary was then able to escape the dimension to which he was bound, capturing Forge and his ally, Storm of the X-Men, and imprisoning them in the otherworldly stronghold of the goddess Roma.
[2] The Adversary later returned to Earth, having been physically born, but was again banished by Forge, who was at the time affiliated with X-Factor.
[3] In Fear Itself, Adversary attends the Devil's Advocacy to discuss the Serpent's actions on Earth.
The Adversary appears in the X-Men '97 two-part episode "Lifedeath", voiced by Alison Sealy-Smith.
