But instead were put under her control and attacked the X-men. Radian and other students were freed from Nova by the Stepford Cuckooss.

Recently, Radian and the Omega Gang participated in an assault on a small group of human racists, and after, a team of U-Men.

The Omega Group the caused a riot during Open day, a day in which the Institute would accepting human students. During the riot, Radian was stopped by Cyclops, who broke his leg with his optic blasts. As a direct result of the violence, one of the Stepford Cuckoos died and another student was missing, presumed evaporated. Afterwards
