Part of the Clan Chosen, Boak fought alongside the time-traveling mutant Cable who made it his life's mission to destroy Apocalypse.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Time Fugitives - Part I" - BTS) - 3999 A.D. - Boak and the Clan Chosen made their way to the war torn city of New York to oppose Apocalypse's army of killer androids.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Time Fugitives - Part I") - 3999 A.D. - Making their way through the ruins of New York City, Boak and the Clan Chosen fought Apocalypse's army of killer androids. Refusing to retreat, Cable ordered the Clan Chosen to counter their attack. The Clan Chosen followed Cable onto the battlefield to strike at the androids while Apocalypse himself watched their struggle from atop a large building, self-assured he could never be defeated. Boak was joined by Garrison Kane and Dawnsilk while charging at the killer androids although his friends were caught in an explosion which send them flying into the air. However just then, a temporal storm appeared out of nowhere and engulfed the battlefield, unbeknownst to the Clan Chosen the temporal storm was inadvertently caused by Bishop of Earth-121193 as he traveled back in time to prevent the release of a plague that ravaged his reality. Boak watched as both Garrison Kane and Hope were pulled into the temporal storm while calling for Cable's help, seemingly erased from the timeline. Cable however, managed to evade the storm and set out to stop Bishop and save his reality.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Time Fugitives - Part II" - BTS) - Cable eventually joined forces with both Bishop and the X-Men to stop Apocalypse of Earth-92131 and end the mutant plague, saving both Bishop and Cable's timeline. As such Boak and those lost in the temporal storm were returned to normal.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Beyond Good and Evil - Part I") - Learning of Apocalypse's regenerative Lazarus Chamber, Boak and the Clan Chosen planned to destroy it in the hopes of permanently dealing with Apocalypse. The Clan Chosen made their way to Cairo in Egypt where they successfully located the mysterious pyramid. After gaining entrance Boak and Hope joined Cable inside while the other clan members stood watch outside. The threesome quickly stumbled upon a large slab of stone with Apocalypse's depiction on it and after pushing the snake glyph they entered a secret room. However, Apocalypse had foreseen the attack on his Lazarus Chamber and let a giant stone wall fall down from the ceiling, separating Cable from the group. Boak and Hope, now joined by the other clan members tried to destroy the wall with their weapons while Apocalypse himself appeared before Cable, successfully stealing Cable's time traveling device with which Apocalypse inadvertently discovered the Axis of Time, a realm outside of time. Enraged he'd been played, Cable returned to his friends, revealing the mutant supremacist had stolen his time traveling device.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Beyond Good and Evil - Part II" - BTS) - Determined to stop Apocalypse, Cable and the Clan Chosen decided on a plan to travel back in time to destroy the Lazarus Chamber at the point of its creation, to do so they planned to use a secret time machine which was kept under strict protection by the United States government as it was deemed to dangerous to use.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Beyond Good and Evil - Part III") - Stationed near the power station that powered the impenetrable energy dome surrounding the secret facility, Boak and the Clan Chosen were given the go-ahead by Tyler Dayspring to destroy it. Boak, Dawnsilk, and Garrison Kane ran into heavy resistance as they had been spotted by the armed guards. It wasn't until Garrison Kane was able to detonate several explosives the energy dome was taken down, allowing Cable to gain entrance to the secret facility and use the time machine.

When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
