His mind eventually returned to its body with the help of the young telepath Carter Ghazikhanian, son of the X-Men's school nurse Annie, who had cared for him.
Havok rejoined the X-Men, serving as a team leader. During the undefined time Havok was gone, times were tough on the X-Men and Havok's former lover Lorna Danes in particular. X-Factor fell apart. Polaris learned her true father was the mutant terrorist Magneto, and briefly served him as a deputy on his fiefdom of Genosha. During all of this, Polaris had refused to believe Havok was truly dead. Seizing the moment, Lorna asked him to marry her. Somewhat shocked at such a life-altering question so soon after his return, Alex faltered over a reply but his assembled friends and family made the decision for him.
However, Alex had fallen in love with Annie, and called off his wedding as Lorna was walking up the aisle. Lorna snapped and attempted to kill both Alex and his newfound love, but she was stopped by Alex's teammate, the Juggernaut.
Soon after, the alternate-reality Havok's personality resurfaced within Alex, having followed Alex's consciousness back from within the void in which he had been trapped. The team of dimension-hopping mutants known as the Exiles were charged with the task of stopping the evil Havok, and they teamed up with the X-Men to prevent him from killing Carter.
The evil consciousness was eventually forced out of Alex's body and sent back into the void, where it was destroyed by the Exiles' taskmaster, the enigmatic being known as the Timebroker. Following the Scarlet Witch's alteration of reality, many mutants were left powerless, including Polaris.
During the same time, Havok's lover Annie Ghazikhanian decided to leave the school with her son in tow due to the multiple attacks the Xavier's school had faced. During an encounter with the creature called Doop, Polaris was abducted by Apocalypse and Havok returned to the X-Men. After the battle with Apocalypse Wolverine discovered that one of his knocked-out horsemen was actually Polaris.
As her esophagus closed down, Havok administered CPR to save her life, but was infected with the meta-plague she was carrying. Emma Frost managed to save the stricken Havok using some of Apocalypse's blood which was an antidote to the plague.
After the death of Corsair , the father of Cyclops , Havok and Vulcan , the Starjammers were left without a leader. Havok decides to stay behind and assume command of the team that his father lead for many years. With the new team a new mission was set forth.
At all cost they worked to return Lilandra , the former Shi'ar Queen to her throne and defeat Vulcan who had become the emperor of the Shi'ar after his marriage with Deathbird. Havok took the Starjammers and began leading rebel raids against the forces of the Shi'ar, as his father had before him. Their raids were extremely successful because of the defections that plagued the Shi'ar Empire, who were unhappy with a non-Shi'ar as emperor.
Havok and his forces commenced a raid on the loyalist-stronghold of Feather's Edge. Vulcan had discovered plans for the raid, and were waiting in ambush. A battle ensued. Vulcan and Gladiator are both easily defeated by the Scy'ar Tal's leader, called the Eldest.
Havok has Marvel Girl scan the assailants to learn more about them, and discovers their history with both the Shi'ar and the Mkarran crystal. As Havok and his team looked on the Scy'ar Tal loosed their greatest weapon, Finality, which transported a star into the planets orbit, destroying it completely.
In response to this change of events, Vulcan elected to sue for peace with Havok and work together to defeat the threat. Though Havok and his team knew they would eventually be betrayed, they joined forces with the new Emperor. Calling a cease fire to the current civil war to deal with this new threat, a decision that threatened to have horrible ramifications for Vulcan's leadership.
Something that Havok and his allies hoped to use to their advantage after the conflict was settled. Havok then worked with Lilandra, her uncle Ka'ardum and Vulcan to devise a plan. While Lilandra worked with her uncle and the Shi'ar forces to confront and distract the Scy'ar Tal armada, Havok and his brother would lead their people on a secret mission to Fatality.
As Lilandra and her uncle Ka'ardum led their forces against the Scy'ar Tal, the attack on finality began. Leaving Polaris in charge of the Starjammers Havok went with Vulcan to board and attempt to destroy Finality.
Working with his younger brother, Havok had no trouble boarding the station. The two fought their way to the main deck with minimal trouble, even having time to argue their differing philosophies, and were in the process of making their way to the station's core when the Eldest arrived. As they fought against him, they realized they were outmatched. Yet another difference between the brother's was shown as they reacted to the situation, while Havok ordered his crew to stay away, Vulcan demanded the Imperial Guard come to defend him.
The Guard's reinforcements allowed the two Summer's brothers time to catch their breath, and regain their strength. They leapt back in to battle and following Havok's instructions, worked in concert with Gladiator to put the Eldest down. As the Eldest began to regain strength and ready himself for a second round, Havok was able to decipher the source of his power and direct Vulcan how to disrupt it.
Having defeated the Eldest, Vulcan begins killing the other Scy'ar Tul and Havok attempts to stop him. Using his power Vulcan blasts his older brother out of the station and into one of the nearby stars. Thinking him dead Vulcan ordered the Fatality used against it's creators and sent the Imperial Guard to deal with the rest of the Starjammers.
Just as he began to savor his victory, Havok blasted him, rising from the star back to the station itself. Havok's powers were pushed to their upper limits after absorbing energy from the heart of the star, and he wastes no time in attacking his brother.
Vulcan is surprised to find that Havok is able to challenge him on equal standing now, and that his powers now affect him easily. The two battled aboard the station, neither brother holding back. Havok managed to defeat Vulcan, and just as he prepared to deal the killing blow, the Imperial Guard teleported in with the unconscious Starjammers. Vulcan's wife, Deathbird, gave him an ultimatum, release her husband or watch his teammates be killed. After listening to a message from Lorna relayed from Ch'od, Alex made his decision.
Unleashing his power he blasts the station in two, destroying it. Vulcan orders all present ported out and Havok ends up a prisoner of the Shi'ar along with the rest of the Starjammers. Havok remained a prisoner in Shi'ar custody. Vulcan, meanwhile, leads the Shi'ar to new conquests across the universe while amusing himself with the torture of his brother Havok and the captured Starjammers which included Raza, Ch'od and Polaris. In an effort to break him Vulcan would proceed to tell Havok that his team was dead putting the blame on him.
In these moments Havok would be seen suffering at the thought of failing his team but he would not give in. Several weeks had passed and due to the location of his prison Havok had not been able to absorb large amounts of energy. All he could muster was enough to to ignite his left hand which he strategically and patiently waited to use in the most opportune moment. As the Shi'ar guards slid a meal into his cell Havok used that time to strike.
He blasted the door with his remaining energy and used his hand to hand ability to break free, taking out a number of guards in the process. He continued through the prison and was able to locate the rest of his captive team and release them as well. At this point the other alien prisoners that were locked up also escape and begin terrorizing the torturers. Havok claims the he is powerless and Raza suggests that they "do it the old fashioned way".
Together the Starjammers in the prison begin to fight the other convicts as ordered by their leader Havok who told them to try and spare their live if they could. When it was all said and don't the convicts were defeated and the Starjammers in the prison were joined by Korvus and Lilandra who came to help them escape.
Unbeknown to them Havok had other plans and did not want to flee. The group was then surprised when The New Imperial Guard showed up and began to battle them. For the most part Havok held his own but his teammates notably Raza and Polaris were not as lucky. To make matters even worse Vulcan and The Old Imperial Guard teleport in after gaining knowledge of Havok's escape and made the bold statement by saying he was "going to kill them".
Havok was caught off guard by Gladiator as Vulcan ordered him to kill him. When Gladiator launched himself at his cousin, Havok was left free to act. He drew Vulcan's attention and while dodging his energy blasts argued against his philosophy. When Lorna made her presence known and Vulcan launched himself to assault her, Alex was as surprised as everyone else when Rachel and the Hodinn blasted their way into the prison.
While Lorna help up the ceiling, Alex took advantage of the situation. Absorbing the energy of the living star for his own, Havok turned to face his brother. Cutting loose, Havok blasted Vulcan easily cutting through his armor. Havok attack his brother viciously and was able to easily overpower him. Havok was momentarily distracted by a burst of energy from Racheal and Korvus as the Phoenix Force fled them to return to Earth.
As their battle continued Alex and Gabriel argued over their philosophy, with Alex explaining that they could have forgiven him originally but he had crossed the line with their father's murder. Just as Havok was preparing the killing blow, Lillandra teleported the team back to the ship. Furious Alex argued for returning to finish the job before the finality of the situation set in. Havok and the Starjammers jumped away from the Vulcan's armada to safety.
Over the next 6 cycles Havok and his team ran from their pursuers. Alex questioned his niece and Korvus about the events surrounding the Phoenix Force as they took stock of their situation.
As he once more argued with Lillandra over her decisions, she put forth the suggestion to enter Kree space. After they decided to attend the wedding of Ronan and Crystal the Starjammers took off.
With Shi'ar in hot pursuit they raced towards the Kree space boarder attempting to contact the empire. While Alex had no luck getting a response, Lorna did. While they Kree opened their shields to allow them, they didn't for the Shi'ar. Upon reaching Hala , Alex worked on the ship while Lilandra and Lorna met with members of the Inhumans.
Alex attended the wedding along with the rest of the team. Watching as Black Bolt walked Crystal down the aisle, he was as surprised as everyone else by the arrival of the Imperial Guard.
Alex was infuriated by his brother's actions. Complaining to Lorna about his brother he went about helping with the defense. Havok worked hard to help protect the civilians against the Guard. When they took Lilandra he was busy fighting a few of them off. When they teleported out it was Korvus who informed him of Lillandra's capture. Dealing with Lillandra's loss, Havok offered to work together with the Inhumans in the war effort, though he requested assistance in finding Lillandra.
Black Bolt and Medusa agreed and with there help Alex came up with a plan that would not only strike a blow against his brother, but also help him to locate his missing empress. Taking the Starjammers into the Ehn-Fol system on the Kree Frontier he and his crew tempted a Shi'ar vessel into a chase. After isolating their enemy, Havok had them cut systems and allow Lorna to magnetically attack the two ships. Popping the hatch Havok let loose a blast of plasma, both blowing an opening into the enemy ship and damaging their Gravity Generators.
They were able to hack into the ships systems and locate Lillandra. With that information at his disposal Havok prepared to plan his next move. Havok and the other Starjammers played a minor part during the Realm of Kings war, in witch Havok's brother Vulcan and his Shi'ar Empire attacked the Kree Empire, at the time led by the Inhumans. Havok and Polaris had joined the Kree empire in hope of winning them for their cause against Vulcan. Vulcan however attacked the Kree home-planet before any military actions had been taken by the Kree.
Havok, Polaris, Rachel and Korvus teamed up with the Guardians of the Galaxy in hope of defeating Vulcan and his army. The battle eventually let to the seeming death of both kings of the empires, Vulcan and Black Bolt. After the battle, the team again took of in space. This was broadcasted to the X-men Rogue, whom undertook a mission alongside Gambit, Magneto and Frenzy to finally return the long lost X-men to earth. Although this was more difficult then thought of because the base the lost X-men found themselves in was about to orbit into a sun.
They luckily managed to escape and eventually return to earth. Wolverine has since taken Havok and Polaris to rejoin their former team X-Factor where Havok briefly becomes the leader of the group when it was thought that Jamie Madrox, the former leader, had died.
Jamie however was revealed to be alive and soon took on his role as leader again, with Havok becoming co-leader. This however brought troubles along because of the conflicting ways of leadership. Eventually Havok realized he had to leave the group. Although he wanted Lorna to come with him, she refused, thinking it good to stay.
The two agreed that it could also be good for them to spent time alone, to get in touch with themselves again after the long time in space.
It is then that Havok decides to leave X-Factor again, wishing Lorna the best. Following his leave from X-Factor, Havok visited his brother Cyclops, whom was apprehended after the events of Avengers vs. After his visit, he was contacted by Captain America , whom wanted him to join the newest Avengers team, a team that was supposed to become a hybrid of Avenger and X-Men members, named the Uncanny Avengers.
Havok accepted the offer after the team's first battle with the Red Skull. During his time with the team, he entered into a romantic relationship with the Janet Van Dyne, the Wasp. This came to a head when Eimon and Uriel , the children of Archangel, destroyed the Earth while creating a new world, Planet X. Though Planet X was a paradise for mutants, Havok and Wasp sought a way to return to the past so that they could undo the destruction of Earth.
They eventually succeed, but lose Katie , the child they conceived on Planet X, to Kang. After absorbing the radiation and energy from the nuclear plant in meltdown, he ejected the energy into space with a powerful blast that his brother would never be able to match.
While Alex is able to generate more energy output, especially when given sufficient time to absorb and rechannel another energy source, that energy is rechanneled as superheated plasma blasts as opposed to his brother's alternate energy source. We previously mentioned Cyclops ' optic blasts technically emanated from another dimension, as opposed to being produced by solar energy. What some fans might not know is that they are actually almost entirely made of concussive energy.
Cyclops is able to punch a hole through a mountain with a fully unleashed optic blast, no charging required. Havok may be able to unleash massive amounts of energy in time, but when it comes to concussive blasts vs superheated plasma, Cyclops packs the punch. There is no denying that Havok can be a powerhouse, which may be best represented by the explosive waves of energy that radiate from his body in circular plasma bursts. By Cyclops' very nature, his entire power set is focused on tight control, whereas Alex's powers are loosely controlled mayhem.
While Cyclops is able to provide room-clearing blasts when needed, they are one-directional and generally reliant on line-of-sight, though Cyclops' unique spatial awareness gets around that hurdle. Havok can bring down the building just by standing in the center of it and would be a master level clearer in any video game with his intense AoE attacks.
With that being said, Cyclops ' previously mentioned spatial awareness and unique understanding of the makeup of his optic blasts allow him to bounce his blasts around a room much like Captain America's shield, and with his visor he is able to focus his blast into a razor-thin beam, something Alex would struggle to pull off without any tech enhancements in his suit.
Furthermore, while Alex is an accomplished leader of various X-Men squads as well as his iconic run with X-Factor, Scott is without a doubt the better leader and tactician, and the X-Men are better with him in command. Sure, Alex was put in charge of the Avengers Unity Squad by Captain America, but his time as leader was plagued with problems. Cyclops may be in peak physical condition, but Havok has an advantage over his older brother that has nothing to do with his workout regiment.
During Havok's tenure as leader of X-Factor in the '90s when he was outfitted in a snazzy leather jacket, naturally the team faced off against the evil Haven. In X-Factor , Haven tries to get Wolfsbane to join her weird mutant cult. Air superiority is cool unless Havok is around. He charges up and blows the satellite out of space from the ground.
The range and power of Havok's energy blasts should be enough, but he has displayed another unique, if less obvious, power. In the Exiles comic book series, fans discovered that Havok's body and mind are a nexus for every other different version of Alex Summers in every other reality.
Essentially, Havok is a 'back door' to all his other selves. This power has yet to be truly explained or really followed up on, but this dimensional switching is incredibly powerful. Poor Xorn. What was his deal? It's still kind of confusing today, which was bad enough without having a black hole growing inside his mind.
Lucky for him and really everyone else Havok was there. Xorn's potent powers stemmed from the sun - an actual star - in his head. He could also transform this sun into a black hole, which anybody with a cursory understanding of physics knows is not ideal.
Havok demonstrated the truly cosmic reach of his powers by containing the black hole when it threatened to expand out of control. Back in , Havok teamed up with Wolverine in a limited series with gorgeous painted watercolors by Jon J. Muth called Meltdown for the Havok parts anyways - the Wolverine parts of the series were handled by artist Kent Williams.
In the story, Havok shows how boss he is by absorbing the entire output of a nuclear reactor in full meltdown - think Chernobyl but worse - and then blasts it out harmlessly into outer space like he's letting out a sigh.
