As a student at the Braddock Academy, Roger operated in an exoskeleton-style construct based on his father's original design but modified to increase his speed and strength ten-fold. He attended a meeting of which includes other schools for a Contest of Champions between the students from every Institute. However, the Contest was interrupted when Thanos' forces descended upon Earth.[2]
After graduating, Roger followed his father's footsteps in becoming a pioneer in biotech engineering and became known for his groundbreaking in the field of robotics for people with disabilities. Roger was recruited by Department H to oversee the development of Box Sentinels to supplement Alpha Flight in capturing mutant fugitives in Canada.[3]
When Feedback was spotted in Bend, Oregon, Director Erika Doiron deployed Box Sentinels to capture him while Roger controlled them remotely from Department H Headquarters. Roger lost his composure when Feedback destroyed several units but calmed down when a Sentinel immobilized him. When Feedback argued he did nothing wrong, Roger retorted through one of his Sentinels that he was already breaking the law for being a mutant. Roger was shocked by Alpha Flight's mutant splinter group who arrived to rescue Feedback.[4] Due to the constant bickering between Roger and Doiron, several Sentinels were damaged and destroyed during the battle by the splinter group, who were able to teleport away with Feedback although Roger was able to pinpoint their location in Turtle Mountain, Manitoba. Roger later surveyed the damage done to the Sentinels and made notes on how to improve them.[5]
While Alpha Flight escorted Feedback back to headquarters on their Omnijet, Department H detected mutant presence at Krakoa North nearby and Roger directed the Sentinels accompanying the Omnijet there. As the Sentinels were rounding up the Krakoa North inhabitants, Argent destroyed a Sentinel, to which Roger instinctively had another Sentinel attack him. To Roger's horror, an energy blast from the Sentinel killed Argent. A shocked Roger silently fixated on the image of Argent's smoldering corpse as the Alpha Flight splinter group returned to rescue the mutants. Doiron continued to berate Roger by convincing him Argent's death was justified and threatened to replace him if he didn't obey commands. Roger regained his senses but Nemesis had already teleported her mutant teammates and the refugees away. Roger had the Sentinels detain the remaining Alpha Flight members, who were revealed to have been helping the mutants the entire time. After the battle, Roger continued to express remorse for Argent's death.[6]Attributes
