History

Vindaloo was a later member of the Acolytes. He was first seen during Magneto's scheme to "flip" Earth's electromagnetic field, blackmail which led to the United Nations signing the island of Genosha over to him.

After Genosha's devastation by Sentinels, Vindaloo's survival was in doubt for several years. He eventually resurfaced as one of the Acolytes stragglers being interrogated by the X-Men about Sinister and Exodus's whereabouts after Cooperstown.
