Darwin ended up held at gunpoint by the Lenore’s mother, who had seemingly been brainwashed into killing him. On a seemingly normal case, Darwin went to help Longshot protect a woman, Lenore, who thought she was being stalked. He got to work helping out the investigation company, often trying his best to avoid the various members’ inter-personal dramas. ĭarwin found himself working alongside the real Longshot, who had joined X-Factor after hearing about his Skrull doppelganger. Later on, he visited his comatose father in hospital and forgave the man for betraying him but stated that he intended to forget all about him from then on. Croix rescue him, as he was a long-time fan of hers, and he begged for her to mind-probe him to make sure everyone knew he was the real deal. Armando was especially pleased to see Monet St. Maru fled, leaving X-Factor to rescue Darwin. The team fought the constantly evolving soldiers, finally coming out on top due to the soldiers breaking down on the cellular level. X-Factor was hot on the Karma Project’s trail, though, having been alerted to Hector’s shooting and Darwin’s kidnapping. Maru’s experimentation paid off and he soon had an army of soldiers, all sporting Darwin’s enhanced evolution powers. Maru, but was quickly subdued again by a chemical designed to constantly work against his evolution powers. He burst through the glass and confronted Mr. Darwin refused to believe the man and furiously beat on the glass of his chamber until he developed super strength. Maru taunted Darwin about the hopelessness of his situation, and the fact that his own father betrayed him. Maru used Darwin’s DNA and attempted to splice it into “volunteers” from nearby prisons, but the initial test subjects did not survive. Maru, explained that Darwin’s unique mutation was of interest to his organization and they hoped to harness the secrets of it, regardless of whether Darwin lived or died. A representative for the Karma Project shot Hector, instead of handing over the half a million dollars he was expecting for the sale of his son.ĭarwin woke up in a liquid-filled chamber, surrounded by scientists and a man dressed in a sharp suit and wielding a cane. Just after they left X-Factor’s headquarters, Darwin was bundled into a van and taken to a base operated by the Karma Project. Darwin was happy to be reunited with his father, but that feeling quickly wore off when Hector betrayed his son. Hector Munoz had apparently had a change of heart and wanted to get to know his son again after years of not being in his life. The reason X-Factor had become involved with the Skrull incident was that they were also looking for Darwin on behalf of his father. The arrival of X-Factor Investigations, as well as She-Hulk, helped turn the tide of the battle and Darwin managed to beat Nogor. Nogor tried to bargain with Darwin to join forces and help conquer Earth, but the mutant was having none of it. Nogor had become fascinated by Darwin and his evolutionary powers, believing him to be a missing link between Skrulls and Humans. Nogor’s role was as a representation of the Skrull gods, and his presence on Earth acted as a blessing for the invasion to take place. The Skrull, Nogor the Talisman, was on Earth because the alien race was trying to take over it. As if on cue, Darwin touched his friend’s arm and “Longshot’s” disguise dropped, revealing him to be a Skrull. However, Darwin theorized that if Longshot were a Skrull with malicious intentions, then he would have evolved a mechanism to reveal the Skrull’s true nature. The arrival of Monet from X-Factor Investigations confused matters, when she mind-scanned Longshot and confirmed he wasn’t a Skrull. She claimed Longshot was a Skrull but, when she went to shoot him, Darwin stepped in the way and the blast ricocheted off him.

Darwin gave chase and caught up with the woman, who was about to execute his friend. When the two of them realized they were being followed by a woman, Longshot freaked out and ran off with the woman in hot pursuit. Darwin became frustrated with the lack of clear direction they were going in and Longshot’s actions soon started to annoy Darwin, as he constantly picked fights with people, which would often lead to Darwin getting attacked. Longshot claimed he could help find Xavier with his luck powers and the two soon found themselves in Detroit.

When Darwin got word that Xavier might be alive, he set off to find him and encountered the former X-Man Longshot on his journey.
