History: (X-Force#117)- The team watched a video of Bloke that showed him using his chameleon-like powers in San Francisco, as he was being evaluated as a potential team member. He later joined the team and was present as the team viewed a video of the upcoming mission to save Paco Perez. He was present at the press conference when the former X-Force team attacked the team on camera.
(X-Force#118)- As the team said their goodbyes to their respective family and friends, Bloke said goodbye to his mutant lover with a kiss and prepared for X-Force's mission. He participated in the mission and, as helicopters attack the team, Bloke shielded the team's informant from the helicopter's fire and was killed by the shots. The Anarchist vaporized his corpse afterwards.
