History:
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Cold Comfort") - Strong Guy was grafted onto the government-financed mutant team X-Factor alongside Forge, Havok, Multiple Man, Polaris, Quicksilver and Wolfsbane.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Cold Comfort" (fb) - BTS) - When Forge noticed X-Man Jubilee and former X-Man Iceman broke into their training facility he and X-Factor quickly subdued the duo and tied them to chairs. Strong Guy and X-Factor were unaware that Jubilee had joined Iceman in search of his former girlfriend Polaris who'd become a member of X-Factor after being recruited by Forge in Seattle. But when Forge then witnessed the arrival of X-Men Professor X, Beast, Cyclops and Wolverine, in search of Jubilee and Iceman, he decided a friendly little skirmish with the X-Men could teach X-Factor some good pointers.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Cold Comfort") - Just as Beast, Cyclops and Wolverine revealed their presence to Jubilee and Iceman, planning to apprehend the ice-like mutant, Strong Guy and X-Factor revealed their presence. Eager to test their skills against the X-Men, X-Factor immediately attacked the heroes. During a fierce battle Strong Guy targeted Iceman and Jubilee but not even being frozen solid by Iceman could stop the superstrong mutant. It was Jubilee, while stuck in Quicksilver's whirlwind, who took out Havok with her fireworks. This prompted Xavier to command his X-Men to switch targets after which Wolverine slashed the base of a water-tower, causing the giant tank to fall on top of Strong Guy. In the end Forge and Polaris appeared, revealing Polaris wasn't truly missing but had joined with X-Factor and fallen in love with Havok, Forge introduced himself and the team to the X-Men. Cyclops and the X-Men expressed they'd be eager for a rematch after which Iceman and the X-Men left the X-Factor's training facility.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Sanctuary - Part II") - Strong Guy and X-Factor were part of the many recipients of a global transmission sent by mutant supremacist Fabian Cortez from Asteroid M. Cortez called for the immediate release of all mutants from captivity and pay restitution for human crimes against them, a feat which the inhabitants of Asteroid M celebrated. Others who viewed the message were the siblings Haven and Monsoon, Externals Gideon and Saul, and US President Robert Kelly. In the end, Magneto destroyed Asteroid M's active warheads, defeated Cortez and in a mighty show of force destroyed Asteroid M.
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Xavier Remembers" - BTS) - When a concussion left Charles Xavier's psychic mind open to manipulation, the Shadow King used images of Strong Guy and other friends of Xavier to persuade his adversary to believe he'd reached paradise so he could take possession of Xavier's body.

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. All Earth-92131 profiles on the Marvel Appendix reflected that information, however, this has since been debunked with the news that the original X-Men: The Animated Series will receive a brand new season to pick up where the original series ended. As such the reality seen in two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015-2017) now have their own reality-designation. 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. Nearly thirty years after X-Men: The Animated Series first debuted the new season will appear on Disney+ in fall 2023.
