[1] The group changed their name to Mutant Force and offered their services to the Mandrill and battled Defenders for him in his scheme to take over the U.S. Peeper became the field leader of the team, his powers allowing him to see his enemy's movements and plan for them.

The group rescued the mutant Quill from the custody of the new Captain America, John Walker, and Battle Star.

This time they came into conflict with Freedom Force,[volume & issue needed] a group who ironically enough, had been another incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, but had now become government agents.

The new Captain America, John Walker, lost control during a battle near Carson City, Nevada, and seemingly killed Occult along with several other members of the Resistants due to his recent violent streak as the result of the death of his parents at the hand of the Watchdogs, another group the Red Skull had formed to discredit the image of Captain America.

During the fight, Quinn was seriously injured after hitting high tension power lines and was electrocuted and believed dead.

[7] Another mission as the Resistants was a failure as well, so the team changed its name back to Mutant Force, but by now Peeper was becoming afraid during combat.

An alternate universe variant of Peepers from Earth-58163 appears in House of M as a member of Magneto's mutant army.
