    In the wake of Onslaught, Quicksilver makes his way to Wundagore Mountain to be reunited with his daughter, Luna. He arrives just as the High Evolutionary's base is being attacked by the Acolytes, who have been sent by Exodus to take the mysterious Isotope E. Quicksilver joins the battle and helps the Knights of Wundagore but the High Evolutionary decides to take Isotope E and retreat from his home, leaving it in the hands of Exodus and the Acolytes. With the High Evolutionary planning on taking off alone to do his work in secret, he makes Quicksilver the leader of the Knights of Wundagore.
