Micromax later participates in battling the threat from the politician Orpington Smythe. Smythe was using manipulation, torture and murder in an attempt to control all the governmental agencies that dealt with super-powered happenings. Micromax was captured for Nigel Orpington-Smythe by the R.C.X.[6] He was subjected to medical tests at the Cloud Nine facility.[7] Excalibur and a mutiny from within Smythe's own ranks eventually end Smythe's threat.
He becomes involved in a battle with X-Force and the surviving original X-Men over the fate of the '198', a group of mutants being forcibly detained on the grounds of the X-Mansion. At the request of the British government Micromax joined O*N*E*[8], a policing force against unruly mutants. This team is fronted by Bishop with the support of Sabra[9]. During the fight he is stabbed in the chest by Shatterstar. The 198 escape. He receives medical attention and survives the attack.
Although Micromax has been identified as one of the 142 registered superheroes who appear to have registered as part of the Avengers: The Initiative[10][11] he is a citizen of and agent of the British government so he would come under the British version of the registration act rather than the U.S. governments Initiative.
Micromax is a mutant with the ability to increase, decrease or redistribute his body mass, allowing for dramatic size change. He can become small as roughly half an inch,[13] or as tall as 65 feet in height.[14] His strength is proportionate to his size and at top size and density he can withstand the pressure from a 50-ton weight, and strike with a similar level of force.[15] He can attain a limited degree of shapeshifting by redistributing his body mass. Normally, Micromax is a short, pot-bellied balding man; in everyday life he uses his powers to become taller and robust and to give himself a full head of hair.[16][17]
