However, when the extraterrestrial threat of the Phalanx attacked Earth, they captured many "neomutants" (later known as the team "Generation X"), including Clarice, in order to experiment on how they could absorb mutants into their collective existence. Clarice came to be friends with the other captives, but couldn’t see how they could escape. They were freed them from their prison with help from a rescue team of Banshee, Synch, Jubilee, Emma Frost, and Sabretooth. Attacked by the Phalanx intelligence known as Harvest, Clarice took it upon herself to defeat him. Teleporting away half of the ship they were imprisoned upon, only Clarice and Banshee could stop Harvest. Using her powers, she "distorted" the villain with her space-altering powers, although the portal swallowed herself as well, killing them both.
