[volume & issue needed] With his body possessed by Xorn's consciousness, Pointer went on a rampage across North America, killing over 2,000 people.

After the ensuing battle between Magneto and the Collective (still under Xorn's influence) and the New Avengers, Pointer still possessed a large amount of residual energy.

After the super-hero Civil War, he was forced to join Omega Flight as a means of atoning for the damage he caused while being the Collective.

[4] As a member of Omega Flight, Pointer wore a suit designed by Reed Richards to regulate his mutant absorption powers where he briefly used the Guardian name.

[5] During Omega Flight's first mission, Pointer aided the group against the combined forces of the Wrecking Crew and the Great Beast known as Tanaraq.

[6][7] After the battle, Sasquatch apologizes for forcing Richards' suit onto Michael, instructing him to avoid dwelling on the past and to instead do right by the Guardian-styled uniform and the nation it represents.

This caused Pointer to become an addict of the energy, and only with the help of the other members of Omega Flight was he able to put a stop to the government plans.

[volume & issue needed] He also appeared in Incredible Hercules #117 in a flashback scene where he asked Snowbird to join Omega Flight.

After the reshuffle of Osborn's X-Men, the power-ups are shown to be affecting Pointer's psyche where it seems remnants of the personalities of the mutants he is draining energy from seep into his mind.

Borrowing powers from Rachel Grey, Mimic put Omega to sleep promising to stay by his side until he wakes up.
