Micromax participates in battling the threat from the politician Orpington Smythe. Smythe is using manipulation, torture and murder in an attempt to control all the governmental agencies that deal with super-powered happenings. Micromax is captured for Nigel Orpington-Smythe by the

R.C.X.[6] He is subjected to medical tests at the Cloud Nine facility.[7] Excalibur and a mutiny from within Smythe's own ranks eventually end Smythe's threat.[volume & issue needed
