Many years later, following the foundation of a mutant state in Krakoa by the hand of Charles Xavier and his allies, Tommy resurfaced as a citizen of the nation, having been reborn by the hand of the Five, a group of mutants capable of combining their powers into a process of resurrection, brought together by Xavier as part of his plans for mutant ascension.[2]
The Hellions, upon learning that Scalphunter, one of the Marauders responsible for the Mutant Massacre, was also residing on Krakoa, Tommy reunited with her resurrected Morlock comrades to confront the assassin on the solemn anniversary of the tragic event. However, their attempt at reconciliation was met with defiance, as Scalphunter displayed no remorse and brandished a formidable assault weapon. In response to the escalating tension, Callisto made the bold decision to dispatch Tommy and the others to eliminate Scalphunter, emphasizing that any casualties would be resurrected. Tommy and her companions engaged in the confrontation and met their demise, only to be resurrected shortly afterward.

During the Hellions' capture orchestrated by Arcade and Mastermind, Scalphunter found himself plunged into a harrowing scenario. In this simulation, he was confronted with a haunting memory of having taken innocent lives in a war zone. To his horror, the victims transformed into familiar faces from the Morlocks, including Tommy, Ape, Cybelle, Erg, Masque, and others, all seemingly lifeless. Yet, the nightmare took a terrifying turn when Tommy and Cybelle morphed into bloodthirsty zombies, driven by an insatiable hunger for flesh. In a shocking twist, they turned on Scalphunter, becoming his assailants in a horrifying ordeal within the fabricated reality.[5]
Tommy became an integral part of X-Force, joining them as a recon agent. When it came to light that Orchis had stationed an observation team in Paris to monitor a crucial gate utilized by Dr. Moira MacTaggert, X-Force devised a cunning plan. They installed another Krakoan gate at the same location but on a different floor, effectively misleading Orchis. Meanwhile, Tommy was assigned to another nearby building to surveil the Orchis team. As she kept a close watch on their activities, the Orchis operatives eventually caught wind of the deception. Swiftly, Tommy alerted Sage, ensuring that X-Force remained one step ahead of their adversaries.[6]Attributes
