2) #36 (September 1994), part of the "Phalanx Covenant" event, and was created by writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Andy Kubert.

[2] At the start of the Krakoan Age, as part of the Dawn of X relaunch of all X-Men related titles, Synch was brought back via the mutant resurrection protocols in House of X (2019) #6.

[6][7] Synch then appeared, debuting in the Hellfire Gala (2021) during the Reign of X relaunch, on the first team roster for Gerry Duggan's X-Men (vol.

[15] This misfit band of heroes ended up saving the other kids who were captured by the Phalanx, and with the sacrifice of Blink, they escaped the menace.

They were soon joined by new recruits Chamber, who had been invited by Charles Xavier, and Penance, a former prisoner of the mutant Emplate who had been liberated by Gateway.

[17] Synch played a major role in many of Generation X's adventures, and was known for being both even-tempered and very resourceful in the growing use of his (and by extension, his teammates') powers.

This rendered most battle strategies against Synch useless, as he could use his teammates' powers against them without restraint, forcing them to employ more unconventional means.

If not, Adrienne would release information to the parents of the normal students that the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters was a secret training ground for mutants.

During their first day, while engaging the Children of the Vault in battle, Wolverine and Synch killed most of their foes while Darwin's head got caught in a water bubble from Sangre.

[27] However, due to their unique powers, the three recovered and went on to survive as centuries went on, fighting different iterations of the Children of the Vault; Synch and Laura became close before developing a romantic relationship.

Eventually, Darwin was captured and experimented upon by the Vault's artificial intelligence to create an evolved batch of the Children, forcing Laura to sacrifice herself to give Synch enough time to escape and reach Xavier.

[33] During the Fall of X phase, Synch and Talon would go on to lead the X-Men[34][35] while they were part of the mutant resistance following the attack on Krakoa by Orchis.

Together they successfully steal technology to nullify Orchis' poisoned medicine from the High Evolutionary, however, he retaliates and disintegrates Talon's body.

Synch seemingly had greater mastery of his mutant abilities than his peers, often displaying more control over whatever powers he copied than that person.

[52] Alex Schlesinger, for Screen Rant in 2022, called their reunion "a truly heartwarming one, with the intense and ancient love between Everett and Laura on full display, but because this is happening in an X-Men comic fans of the couple shouldn't get too hopeful, as the future of this tragic romance is still yet to be revealed".

[48] Following the death of Talon's body in X-Men #30 (January 2024), Robert Wood of Screen Rant commented that "Synch and Laura's relationship has been filled with heartache and tragedy, and this final twist of the knife confirms things will get worse before they get better – if they ever do".

[53] Jones, in his review of X-Men #31 for AIPT, felt the "emotional beats" of Laura and Synch's final conversation was a bit empty and that the creative team's focus was on addressing the problem of Talon's existence as a character.

On top of that, the majority of their romance before and after the Vault took place off-panel, making it even harder for readers to find a reason to care"; however, Jones was more positive about artist Phil Noto's portrayal of the characters in the issue as "even if readers don't especially care about Talon and Synch's relationship, the emotional subtleties in their faces are worth a look through.

Thus [Cecilia Reyes] believes what is hitting him hardest is to see the ways in which his contemporaries left him behind and have often gone on to deal with their own brushes with death that they've been able to overcome.

[...] Coming back this way has to feel bittersweet—not just because it's taken his friends this long to even try a resurrection, but because making up for all that lost time is the sort of feat that not even he could manage".

[40] He highlighted "a nice moment grieving" between Synch and Wolverine who "have their first proper team-up since the loss of Talon [in X-Men #31], and Everett and Laura remain very respectful about the wild circumstances around their relationship".

[40] Jamie Lovett of ComicBook.com similarly commented that "the issue does bring some closure to the Synch/Talon/Wolverine situation that has been at the heart of the book, but with even the considerable artistic talent involved struggling to make something out of what little the script has to offer, X-Men #34 feels like the tail-end of a story stretched too thin".

Set ten years into an alternate future where Orchis is victorious against mutantkind, Synch leads a small group of survivors and is now known as the Professor.

[62][51][63] Tristan Benns of Screen Rant commented that "weakened by the containment of his tremendous powers, this timeline's variant Everett Thomas is confined to a hoverchair resembling Xavier's iconic chair from the Mutant Genesis era.

Although this timeline is ultimately averted as part of Xavier's experiments with the Moira Engine, Synch's potential as Charles' replacement remains undeniable".

[63] Benns called him "a rising star" of the Krakoan Age "with his inclusion in the lineup for the flagship X-Team raising his profile to incredible new heights.
