History:
(Uncanny X-Men#157) - Members of the Guard were assigned to assist Lord Samèdar in attacking the Earth. Nightcrawler and Shadowcat convinced Gladiator, N'rill'iree, Oracle, and Starbolt to join them against Samèdar. Other members of the Guard loyal to Samèdar attacked and a fight ensued until a Brood weapon attached to B'nee (of the Warstar duo) knocked them all unconscious. During the battle, Webwing had tried restraining Sprite, but she phased through the floor to escape. Samèdar prepared to destroy the Earth with the four guard members, two X-Men, and Captain K'rk watching, but Lilandra revealed herself and stopped him. Guard members in this mission included: Blackthorn, Fang, Gladiator, Hussar, N'rill'iree, Oracle, Quasar, Starbolt, Warstar, Webwing, and others.
(Uncanny X-Men#387 (fb) - BTS) - Hussar, Warstar, Neutron, and Webwing were expelled from the Guard for unknown reasons revolving around treason. When Earth became a prison planet, they were sent there to serve their time. They allied with the D'Bari Starhammer and agreed to go after the X-Men.
(Uncanny X-Men#387) - Starhammer's Mandroids attacked the X-Men (Beast, Cable, Gambit, Phoenix (Jean Grey), Rogue) in New Orleans, with the former Guardsmen acting as backup. Webwing attacked and sedated Phoenix immediately, lulling her into a sense of bliss, but she pulled him onto the astral plane and defeated him with an astral image of the Phoenix. The Guardsmen, all defeated, were left tied up.
