he later appeared again with weapon x in "exiles" #38–40 and #43–45. it appeared that he and storm on his team had been in a relationship and that back in his alternative reality he and storm (another one from his alternative reality) were married. storm was now dead and replaced by hyperion. in this mission, weapon x was supposed to kill the ten remaining mutants in this reality, but this evil version of hyperion wanted to be the ruler of this earth. the heroes did not want to murder anyone, but a battle with hyperion soon followed. hyperion shot off gambit's arm, forcing gambit to retreat into the morlock tunnels. hyperion murdered most of the weapon x team.
