History: (Marvel Premiere#41)- Knowing that Earth's solar system would soon be destroyed, the Six determined to save themselves by constructing the vessel Seeker 3000. In order to obtain warp speed and escape the solar system, they obtained Phaedra, the most powerful telepath known to exist, intending for her to power the ship's warp-drive. They had Jason prepare Seeker 3000 for launch, and made sure that all of the DNA samples contained aboard to create new colonists were of people loyal to the Six.

However, Captain Jordan Shaw defied the Six, and determined to leave them behind. When Seeker 3000 arrived at Mars to rendezvous with the Six and Phaedra, Shaw rescued Phaedra and abandoned the Six on Mars. The Six contacted Jason at Saturn, asking him to stop Shaw. Jason replied that he would, but that he had no intention of returning for the Six. All of the Six perished when Earth's sun went nova.
