Serval Industries
Exactly how Harrison founded Serval Industries has yet to be revealed. It was however certain that Harrison would use the influence of his corporation to stop his former employer Alchemax‘s rise to power in this time. In doing so, he created a large corporation of which he himself became the CEO. Harisson eventually got married to a woman, whom seems to not know about Harrison’s arrival from the future. As the company grew, Harrison started working more closely with his public relations-manager Linda Kwan. This eventually led to an affair between the two.
The All-New X-Factor
Harrison started recruiting mutants for his privately owned super-hero team, named X-Factor (buying the name from former X-Factor member Jamie Madrox, the Mutliple Man). His first recruits where Polaris, Quicksilver and Gambit, soon followed by Danger, Cypher and Warlock. The team went on various missions while backed by Harrison. Although Harrison and Linda had tried to keep their affair a secret from Harrison’s wife, she eventually found out. Her revenge was sleeping with one of Harrison’s employees, namely Gambit (whom at the time did not know her to be Harrison’s wife). When Harrison found out about this, he seemingly was not mad at Gambit, although during the team’s next mission, Gambit was ‘unluckily’ left behind during an escape attempt when the mission went haywire. Eventually Harrison revealed that, recruiting X-Factor, was only the beginning of his mission to stop Alchemax. What will lie ahead remains to be seen.
