intention to kill Wolverine and feed to the deathwatch beetles to steal the man's Adamantium skeleton. However, Cyber is unaware that the Adamantium laced to Wolverine's skeleton has been removed by Magneto. Despite this, and despite the fact that many of Wolverine's other mutant attributes were weakened, he manages to hold his own against Cyber briefly. Cyber is momentarily distracted by the distant cannon fire of Edinburgh Castle as Wolverine extracts his bone claws and slashes Cyber across the face. Cyber, unimpressed by the attack and annoyed by this turn of events, quickly slams Wolverine to the ground and uses his foot to break the bone claws off of Wolverine's right arm before their fight is interrupted, allowing Wolverine the opportunity to escape Cyber once more. Using his amplified brain-wave tracking power, he chases the poisoned Logan to Muir Island, where he is eventually outsmarted by Kitty Pride and captured by Excalibur. Cyber is later broken out of S.H.I.E.L.D. custody by the Dark Riders, and taken to one of Apocalypse's corpse littered, ancient Egyptian fortresses. They run a series of tests to determine the strength and purity of Cyber's Adamantium skin, then through a combined effort they manage to trap him inside a vault and release a swarm of voracious, "mutant" deathwatch beetles, which devour the flesh from Cyber's entire body, beginning with his exposed face and eating the rest from the inside out. Cyber's Adamantium carapace, which remains untouched, is then used in an unsuccessful attempt to re-implant Adamantium onto Wolverine's skeleton by Genesis, leader of the Dark Riders.

After possessing Milo's body, Cyber is easily able to suppress Milo's childlike psyche, coupling Milo's incredible strength with his own cunning intelligence. Intent on revenge, he sets off for the Tinkerer, contracting the man to perform the Adamantium-epidermal bonding process once he has stolen the necessary liquid Adamantium from storage in The Hague. Arriving in Brussels, he is revealed to be behind the scenes in setting up the confrontation between Wolverine and Daken. At the culmination of the bloody battle between father and son, Cyber appears, complete in his new Adamantium laced skin, and challenges not Wolverine, but Daken. After quickly gaining the upper hand in his fight with Daken, Cyber questions him on the whereabouts of his master. Daken refuses
