Where they tortured Skullfire which made his powers go off and release them from the theater of pain. The men then went to his friends apartment where the found a journal that led to the mutant Ravage. Ravage had no answers so he led them to a floating city called Valhalla. When they arrived meanstreak' friend had been turned into Loki. They then were attacked by Heimdall but he was defeated when Meanstreak's friend gave them a control that turned off his powers. The rest of the X-men got off the city before the vigilante heroes got the city under control. Henri went with the X-men to find Mama Hurricane. This is when everyone decided to split up. But, Meanstreak decided to stay with the remaining X-men. Meanstreak met up with his old friend who is now calling himself Halloween Jack and the two decided to take over Vegas.
