X-Man Annual '96 (Age of Apocalypse)

Nate chases Sugarman to Genosha, holding him responsible for the recent reality ripples. However he actually does, what Sugarman wants, for as Nate uses his powers against Sugarman’s people, he actually empowers the “fargate” Sugarman created that enables him to go back to the Age of Apocalypse at an earlier point, where he plans to steal a deadly virus. Nate follows him, but almost drowns on the other side until he gets saved by Magneto and Forge, who were waiting for him, as a future version of Nate already was in the AoA once, and told Forge of this. Together they attack Sugarman’s fortress the next day, after being called by Magneto’s inside man Morph, who saved Sugarman’s prisoner Mastermind. Sugarman releases the virus into the water, but Nate, with the help of Magneto – manages to collect and destroy the virus before it does any harm. Afterwards Nate has made up his mind – he wants to stay in the AoA reality and make it a better place by changing the future, but Forge wants him to return to the other reality as it is the real one – and eventually tricks him (with the help of Mastermind) to go back. The Sugarman too gets caught in the fargate’s effect and returns to Genosha.
