History:
(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Secrets, Not Long Buried" - BTS) - Strobe moved to Skull Mesa, Nevada where Dr. Taylor Prescott had established a community where mutants could live in peace. However, the town was soon taken over by the villainous Solarr and his allies Chet Lambert and Toad after learning of it's underground goldmine. Dr. Taylor Prescott opposed the villains but was placed in suspended animation and soon had all of the town's residents living in fear by attacking anyone who questioned his authority, forcing some like Sunder, Slither, Random and Forearm to work in the goldmine.
(X-Men: The Animated Series - "Secrets, Not Long Buried" - BTS) - When the X-Man Cyclops had come to Skull Mesa to meet his old friend Dr. Taylor Prescott he was confronted by Solarr and his allies. Through the following days Cyclops learned Solarr had taken over the city forcing the residents to live in fear. Determined to stop Solarr, a temporary depowered Cyclops fought back.
(X-Men: The Animated Series - "Secrets, Not Long Buried") - Strobe, Reaper, Senyaka and several other mutants gathered at the town's square when Solarr openly confronted Cyclops. Solarr falsely claimed Cyclops was one of the subversives who wished to destroy their lives, something he'd warned the townspeople of before. Solarr continued, explaining that a crystal sculpture Cyclops was carrying was in fact a transmitter to summon his friends. Cyclops, who was bound to a large golden sculpture of Solarr with Toad's green muck urged the townsfolk to see Solarr for who he really was, a tyrant who held the innocent Dr. Taylor Prescott in the goldmine. Deciding to finally stand up to Solarr, one of the townsfolk, Tusk attacked Solarr and freed Cyclops. As a full fledged fight erupted other townsfolk like Lady Gardener and Dr. Darrell Tanaka helped Cyclops while others like Arclight, Slither, Copycat, Ape and Sunder stood with Solarr, Strobe was one of the few who abstained from fighting. Cyclops, repowered thanks to Tanaka used his optic blast on the crystal sculpture to take them out with a single blast. When Solarr was defeated Dr. Prescott was quickly freed and was reunited with Cyclops after which he told the X-Man they would deal with Solarr and his men in Skull Mesa.

Senyaka is a member of the Acolytes on Earth-616, although he wears the Acolytes uniform he's not part of the team on Earth-92131. In this reality the Acolytes consist of Chrome, Fabian Cortez, Delgado, Frenzy, Unuscione, Amelia Voght and even Burner, who's part of the Mutant Resistance Force on Earth-616. Other Acolytes that have been seen that are not actually part of the team are Milan (Francisco Milan): shown as one of the scientist who helped Magneto build asteroid M. Both Exodus (Bennett du Paris) and Gargouille (Lavinia LeBlanc) were seen living on Genosha in the new X-Men '97.
When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
