After he becomes Cyberiad, he seeks revenge and sets his plan into motion by taking control of the Danger Room. Firestar, along with Spider-Man and the X-Men, are put through the proverbial wringer as they try to reach Cyberiad and put an end to his madness. After his defeat at the hands of Firestar, Price regains a modicum of his senses and admits he still loves Firestar.
