Debuting in Bendis's most cinematic New Avengers issue ever, Michael Pointer was host to the Collective, the sentient collection of all mutant power signatures lost during M-Day. Michael's introduction massacred Alpha Flight and added a new wrinkle to the Xorn paradox, but he failed to show meaningful star power. His addition to Omega Flight during the Initiative faded into a series of guest appearances, and his role in Norman Osborn's Dark X-Men similarly failed to make a lasting impression. Once considered one of the most powerful and important mutants alive, Omega failed to receive even a mention during the Age of Krakoa. Tragically, if history is any indication, Michael will only return when he's being exploited or manipulated by some other power, rather than free and in control of his own fate.

Re: Spotlight On...MICHAEL POINTER!
Wow, crazy to think that X-Men Legacy was over 10 years ago and he hasn’t appeared since. Almost as if he was a super unpopular character of something…
Everybody is entitled you their opinion...but yours is wrong.

Re: Spotlight On...MICHAEL POINTER!
I like him better than Bendis' other random guys with extremely powerful abilities out of nowhere, Matthew Malloy and Ulysses Cain. Though I guess Bob Reynolds, the Sentry, is a little more inspired.
Books to be excited for:
Immortal X-men, X-men Red, She-Hulk, The Fall of X

That explains why I like that character more then. I guess Sentry just got a lot of appearances through Bendis.
