He was tracked down and killed by the high-tech vigilante known as the X-Cutioner.[2]

Tower is resurrected by means of the Transmode Virus to serve as part of Selene's army of deceased mutants. Under the control of Selene and Eli Bard, he takes part in the assault on the mutant nation of Utopia.[3]
