the last time and reveals what happened to Storm. Sometime later the Shadow King reached Psylocke's mind when she's forced to use Cerebro to cleansed Logan of the Death persona with a little push from each of Logan's closest friends, but Archangel experienced a metamorphosis of his own from his close contact to Apocalypse's handiwork. The Shadow King eventually managed to convince Betsy to release him in order to help Warren but before she reaches him, Warren himself mysteriously appears on her mind and stop her from setting him free, sending the Shadow King back to his prison when Betsy disconnected herself from Cerebro. Freedom The Shadow King was eventually released from his prison when Psylocke perished in combat with the mutant hunter, Vargas.

He maintained constant telepathic contact and control over them and forced them to kill all the heroes of their world.
