After moving away from Albuquerque and to new work, unfortunately he was taken in for experimental use and they made him take permanent Compound V which gave him the ability to fly, teleport , super strength and shape shifting , this made him the perfect replacement for Black noir, he was still black noir just he has his own abilities

he quickly learned about the crowd he was going into which he kept quiet and decided not to do anything all he cared about was being away from Albuquerque
