Hodge's jealousy of Warren Worthington grew into a general hatred of mutants by the time he was an adult. He posed as Warren's friend and become a trusted advisor. When the original members of the X-Men wished to operate in secret due to growing anti-mutant predjudice, Hodge led Warren to believe that posing as mutant hunters would be the best cover. In fact, however, when the team advertised as the "X-Terminators", a group of bounty hunters targeting troublesome mutants, it only whipped the anti-mutant fervor into a frenzy, with Hodge subtly guiding the ad campaign. He also embezzled money from the team, particularly Warren, to finance a terrorist group called The Right. He also made a deal with the powerful demon N'Astirh to magically protect him should the mutants discover his duplicity.

When Angel was injured during the Mutant Massacre, Hodge arranged for the doctors to amputate his dmaged wings. His girlfriend Candy Southern was also murderred, secretly by Hodge. Angel seemingly comitted suicide over these losses, but had in fact been captured by Apocalypse and turned into the cyber-winged Horseman of Death. After breaking free of Apocalypse, and now calling himself Archangel, Warren used his new metallic wings to slice Cameron's head off. Yet, preserved by the demonic spell, Hodge was now unable to die. He did, however, go mad.

Next turning up in the mutant-enslaving nation of Genosha, Hodge masterminded a plan to capture the entire X-Men/X-Factor/New Mutants extended family, planning to use the alien Warlock to become a techno-organic shapeshifting immortal. He used a massive, heavily armed cyborg body with his still-living head attached to fight the teams, but lost the battle and his new body, and his head wound up buried under rubble.

But Hodge later achieves this goal anyway, when Hodge's head was recovered by the Purifiers, and assimilated into the Phalanx, an alien techno-organic offshoot of the Technarchy (Warlock's race). Though he was rendered intert for a while by Archangel, he got better and is currently allied with the Purifiers.
