(X-Men II#74) - Without a Danger Room to test their new members' strengths and weaknesses, Beast took Maggott and Cecilia Reyes outside for observation. Beast noted that Maggott's physical strength was impressive, though his incessant, boasting banter was a tad wearying. While Cecilia couldn't help but agree, she wasn't interested in being reviewed in a similar way. Spotting Hank's subtle signal, Maggott lobbed a snowball at the doctor just as she was turning away to head back inside. This led to a friendly snowball fight which abruptly ended for Maggott when he realized Eany and Meany had run off again, unaware that they were inexplicably drawn to Pilgrimm.

(X-Men II#74 - BTS) - Since Pilgrimm and the Ru'Tai demons' continued assaults were being mistaken for the work of mutants, Wolverine, who had gotten wind of the attacks and decided to investigate the matter himself, was tracking the Ru'Tai demons and smelled the presence of Eany and Meany. However, because the Ru'Tai's Mongrels didn't carry a scent, he was ambushed by the ferocious creatures and vivisected out in the woods while the slugs helplessly watched.

(X-Men II#74) - Maggott expended most of his energy trying to find his slugs in the woods. Just when he was about to pass out, he discovered them under a bush, covered in blood. When he turned, he was horrified to find the heavily scarred Wolverine, who had just woke up after his torturous vivisection. Misinterpreting the situation, Maggott thought he was to blame and ran away, yelling he was so sorry.

(X-Men II#75 - BTS) - Wolverine, incoherent and still badly wounded, returned to the X-Mansion, where the X-Men initially figured Maggott was to blame. However, it didn't take long for Cecilia Reyes to conclude that the scar tissue was consistent with that of an autopsy, ruling out the involvement of the semi-sentient Eany & Meany. After the team was attacked by a pack of Mongrels emerging from the cairn on the school grounds, the X-Men realized they had to find Maggott.

(X-Men II#75) - The team searched the city and eventually found the still terrified Maggott. They managed to assure him Wolverine's injuries weren't his fault. Before they could do much else, Eany & Meany ate through the asphalt, revealing another Ru'Tai portal. The X-Men followed the metallic slugs through the portal and ended up at the Ru'Tai's Ukraine base, where all their dead and dissected human victims were kept. Pilgrim showed himself and captured Cecilia Reyes, Marrow and Beast. Maggott fled through the cairn, pursued by the others, only to be confronted by the Mongrels. A time-tossed Wolverine  then appeared and slaughtered the Mongrels. Together with Wolverine, Maggott and the remaining X-Men attacked Pilgrimm, who defended himself using the mystic eye of Kierrok. When Marrow managed to free herself, Maggott decided to throw her at the giant demon. Through an impressive feat of aerial maneuvering, Marrow used her bone growths to cut the Eye off its necklace. As it fell to the floor, Cecilia Reyes tried to grab it but tripped and landed on the mystic gem, cracking it in the process. This dissolved the magical bonds that held the other X-Men. The team then fled through a portal, taking with them the still-living prisoners of Pilgrimm and exiting a cairn in Las Vegas seconds before the cairn (and others like it across the planet) exploded, shutting the portal to the N'Garai realm.

(Uncanny X-Men I#352) - Maggott continued to ruffle feathers among the X-Men, especially Angel, who could hardly believe his former opponent had decided to stay on. A little while later, he read a personal message from Meltdown addressed to Cannonball out loud which infuriated Sam. He grabbed the letter and flew off to see his old friends in X-Force.

(X-Force I#76 - BTS) - When Cannonball caught up with X-Force, he admitted to feeling out of place among the X-Men. Sam figured it was because of the three new, unconventional recruits Maggott, Marrow and Cecilia Reyes and decided to briefly hang around with his old friends to clear his head.

(Uncanny X-Men I#353) - Joined by the visiting Jubilee and Iceman, Maggott and the other X-Men spent a leisurely summer's day at the local pond. Maggott didn't take his poncho off nor did he swim but he did offer to put sun tan lotion on Storm's back, an offer the weather witch kindly declined. Some time later, they heard Wolverine screaming from a nearby bush, where he'd gone to get some peace and quiet. When they arrived, they found him unconscious with Rogue standing over him. Incorrectly believing Rogue, who had been struggling with not being able to touch anyone, was to blame, the X-Men made her run away. Moments later, the true culprit revealed himself: the reptilian energy leech Sauron, who immediately attacked.

(Uncanny X-Men I#354) - Sauron grabbed Maggott with his hind claws and planned to fly off with him to feed. Maggott was rescued by Cannonball but was momentarily stunned while the fight continued. Eany & Meany pitched in, eating their way through Sauron's stash of advanced weapons. In the end, Maggott turned the tables by jumping on Sauron's back and holding on as Sauron flew high up in the air. Not impressed to hear that Ka-Zar had tried this trick as well, Maggott kept pounding Sauron until the villain finally managed to shake free. Maggott fell to the ground but ordered Eany & Meany to quickly dig a giant hole, causing him to fall into loose, soft earth. In the end, Sauron was defeated by Wolverine and Jubilee.

(X-Men II#76) - Afraid to come clear to the X-Men about Eany and Meany being his digestive system, Maggott tried his best to get out of the mandatory physical. Wolverine noticed his squirrelly behavior and confronted Japheth about it, reminding the boy that keeping secrets from people who barely knew him wasn't the best way to gain their trust. Maggott then recounted his origins and his encounter with Magneto. When he was done, he got emotional and said there were still so much more dark secrets to share. Wolverine assured him it could wait for another day. Moments later, Storm arrived at the mansion with a package from her home village in Kenya. They were stunned to find a talking stone statue of Ainet inside that begged for Storm's help.

(X-Men II#77) - Maggott, Cannonball, Wolverine and Cecilia Reyes accompanied Storm on a rescue mission to Kenya. They were teleported there thanks to Psylocke and her shadow shifting and joined at the last moment by the rebellious Marrow. After fighting off armed tribesmen, they discovered everyone in Storm's native village was under a paralyzing mind control spell. Moments later, Cannonball disappeared into the sand, and met the spider-covered Ainet, who told Storm that she had to marry the god Ananasi. As if on cue, "Ananasi" began to mentally manipulate Maggott, Cecilia and Marrow. He first showed them their heart's desire, in Maggott's case controlling his powers and becoming the well respected hero he dreamt of becoming. He offered to make it happen, if only Maggott and the others joined him. At the same time, "Ananasi" had mentally turned Wolverine into a dog while revealing himself to Storm and Psylocke as the Shadow King.

(X-Men II#78) - Shadow King continued to tempt Maggott and the neophyte X-Men members until Psylocke managed to break his hold over them. Maggott then watched as Betsy Braddock fought a vicious psi-war against the King, which ended with her trapping him on the Astral Plane without being able to influence anyone on Earth. Before returning home, Maggott and the others helped Storm's villagers recover from their ordeal. He discovered Wolverine sitting by himself in a corner of the village and checked to see if he was alright. Still suffering from the King turning him into a dog, Wolverine asked to be left alone which Japheth respected.

(X-Force I#83 - BTS) -  Cannonball eventually realized his discomfort with being an X-Man wasn't caused by Maggott or the others. It stemmed from a deep seated lack of finding fulfillment and purpose. He went home to Kentucky to discuss the matter with his mother Lucinda Guthrie.

(X-Men II#79) - Maggott got into quite a bit of trouble with Cecilia Reyes when Eany and Meany ate half her medical text books and part of her underwear. Beast witnessed the falling out, which made him realize how similar Japheth was to him at that age. Later, when Maggott was in his room berating his girls for not at least finishing Reyes' books to get rid of the evidence, Beast dropped by for a talk. McCoy wondered if perhaps Japheth wasn't interested in furthering his college education. He left him some information on the Massachusetts Academy and Generation X.

(Generation X I#48) - Taking Beast up on his offer, Maggott left the X-Men and decided to join the Massachusetts Academy. He showed up at the team's Massachusetts Academy, along with Eany and Meany.

(Generation X I#49 - BTS) - Learning of Maggott's cybernetic slugs, world renowned big game hunter Francis Slaughter IV was determined to add these exotic animals to his collection. He eventually located the slugs and their owner at the Massachusetts Academy and began a lengthy stake out.

(Generation X I#49) - Maggott was settling into his new life at the Academy, playing basketball and excelling at it while being especially charmed by his fellow classmate Paige Guthrie. After class, the male Gen X'ers took him out to their infamous sleigh riding spot. On the way there, they questioned about Maggott's time with the X-Men. He assured them all that the gushing Jubilee had done was true and that they were his idols. Before he could go on, both Japheth and Eany and Meany were struck by Slaughter's tranq-darts. He proceeded to fight Gen X, who held him off long enough for Maggott to recover. In the end, Slaughter incapacitated all of them with the same paralyzing black goo that assured him victory over an Asgardian steed. Tying his assailants up with polymer cables, he left through the snow with Eany and Meany hoisted over his shoulder in a duffle bag. Synch, determined to escape, used his powers to copy Maggott's genetic potential. As a result, he manifested his own replicas of Maggott's all consuming cybernetic slugs which tore through Slaughter's bonds, setting them free. The mutants gave chase. Slaughter spotted Maggott's approach and planned to shoot him but was unpleasantly surprised to find his slugs had revived. They chewed through the bag and nibbled at his weapons pack, leaving the hunter vulnerable to a smack to the face. Figuring he'd best retreat, Slaughter dropped a flash grenade but not before telling the worried Maggott there were still plenty of other rarities to collect, such as the Black Knight's winged horse, Lockheed or even mutants. Feeling responsible for his escape and concerned with Slaughter's proposed plans, Maggott vowed to chase the hunter around the world. He said goodbye to Generation X and left for parts unknown.

(Uncanny X-Men I#368) - Maggott briefly returned to the Xavier Institute to attend the funeral of Joseph. During the ceremony, he and all those who were close to Joseph got to experience the essence of the dearly departed, courtesy of Charles Xavier's telepathic eulogy.

(Weapon X II#5) - Maggott was eventually captured by the Weapon X Program and deported to their Neverland concentration camp along with the likes of Bulwark, Diamond Lil, Siena Blaze, Ape and several other low powered mutants. Maggott was processed, questioned and genetically tested. When it became clear he showed insufficient potential, his hand was marked with a red "M," while other, more promising prisoners, received a green M. Japheth was the only one who correctly guessed the unspoken repercussions of the red M: he was scheduled for termination. A little while before the end, he gave one of his slugs to fellow prisoner Billy Taylor for safe keeping.  Not too long after that, Maggott was seen getting herded into the Neverland gas chambers where he presumably perished.

(Weapon X II#13 - BTS) - Eventually, Mr. Sinister, posing as Neverland's head geneticist Dr. Windsor, gained a hold of the cybernetic slug Maggott gave to Billy. He added the creature to one of the tanks in his lab's bestiary.

(X-Necrosha I#1 - BTS) - Maggott was among the many deceased friends, foes, allies and X-Men acquaintances that were revived by Selene and pressed into service as part of her undead army through a combination of magic and the Transmode virus.

(X-Force III#21) - Maggott attacked Hrimhari and X-Force's Archangel, Warpath and Wolfsbane on Utopia alongside other resurrected mutants including Berzerker, Hemingway, Pyro and Scaleface. When Archangel killed him the T/O virus put him back together in mere moments.

(X-Men Legacy I#231) - Maggott was seen attacking the X-Men on Utopia, alongside the likes of other revived mutants such as Stone Wall and Banshee. However, Cyclops quickly and decisively took care of Maggott with one optical blast that sent him flying through a concrete pillar.

(Wolverine and the X-Men I#2 - BTS) - When Wolverine decided to rebuild Xavier's he brought Iceman to look at the ruins and discuss how to build the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. When Wolverine told Iceman he was the first person he asked to come with Iceman joked he was only picked after Maggott had turned him down.

(Wolverine and the X-Men I#3 - BTS) - When the newly opened Jean Grey School for Higher Learning was partly destroyed by a small army of Frankenstein Soldiers and an artificially grown Krakoa send by the new incarnation of the Hellfire Club, the lessons were continued on the school's grounds. During Husk's mutant literature class she discussed a text from Maggott called "Ode to Eany and Meany".

(Wolverine and the X-Men I#11 - BTS) - When the Phoenix Force was headed towards Earth, the X-Men and the Avengers tried to get it's possible future host, Hope Summers. As both teams fared off against each other in different parts of the world, Thing fought Sunspot in Tabula Rasa, an alien forest in Montana when he asked Sunspot if they still had the guy with the giant maggots around.

(Wolverine and the X-Men II#9) - Maggott attended Quentin Quire's crowded, lavish seventeenth birthday party at New York's Hellfire Club. The dresscode required X-Men cosplay, but when Maggott turned up as himself the doorman believed it was a costume and let him enter.

(Uncanny X-Men I#600) - Maggott was present when Cyclops delivered a powerful speech in the nation's capital to prove to the world they had nothing to fear from mutants.

(Domino Annual I#1/4) - Maggott took part in the first "Mindfulness for Mutant Appearances" meeting, a support group created by Nightcrawler and Domino to help mutants with non-humanoid appearances cope with their negative body images. When Domino was late, the group started with their sharing circle which saw Maggott telling an elaborate story about barbecue sauce. He was interrupted by Kylun who expressed unease about the presence of villains like Toad, Thumbelina and Briquette. Nightcrawler quickly explained the group was a safe space for everyone, adding that he, as a highly decorated X-Man could deal with anyone in the room. The dust hadn't even settled when Briquette questioned why the gorgeous, regular looking Miranda Leevald was there. Maggott watched in awe as Miranda revealed herself to be the depowered former X-Man Stacy X. After losing her mutant powers, she'd been hanging on by a thread to find a reason not to give up. As if on cue, Domino showed up, assuring Miranda of her place amongst them. The meeting ended with the group affirmation they deserved to be alive.

(Uncanny X-Men V#9) - The X-Men were targeted by X-Man who had recently learned he was dying. Eager to make a difference by bringing about world peace and powered by the life bringing Celestial Life Seed, he was determined to kill them to achieve his goal. Jean Grey telepathically contacted Maggott and all the other X-Men, allies and former students for help. Just when X-Man (inhabiting the body of Legion) and his Horsemen of Salvation appeared to have defeated the X-Men, Maggott and dozens of other mutants showed up to join the fight.

(Uncanny X-Men V#10) - Maggott and the other X-Men allies engaged X-Man and his Horsemen of Salvation. The fierce battle reached a climax when Storm and the X-Men's telepaths successfully separated X-Man from Legion. Jean Grey then telepathically attacked X-Man, but was unable to stop him from trapping Maggott and the other X-Men in a newly created pocket dimension, leaving the world to believe the mutants were dead.

(Age of X-Man: NextGen#2 - BTS) - Now part of X-Man's realm, Maggott, was among the many mutants de-aged and altered by X-Man. In this utopian pocket dimension, X-Man was the hero bravely opposing Apocalypse who ironically started to preach togetherness and earning a reputation as a guru of love. This was against X-Man's philosophies believed personal relationships were forbidden and raising families was discouraged. X-Man even made everyone believe people were hatched in a laboratory instead of being born.

(Age of X-Man: NextGen#2) - Maggott, deaged to his teens, gravitated towards En Sabah Nur's teachings, founding a radical rebel group which soon attracted other loyal followers Match, Transonic and Scripture (a construct created by X-Man). Sometime later, they added Bling! and Anole of the Summers Institute for Higher Learning. Meeting in secret to worship En Sabah Nur, Maggott would supply the group with the "drug" Unveil which allowed them to connect to each-other on a deeper level. Unbeknownst to Maggott, the drug was actually a piece of one Apocalypse's agents.

(Age of X-Man: NextGen#1 - BTS) - Department X operative Blob disrupted a worship meeting of Maggott's group, burning down the house and capturing Bling!.In an effort to "save" one of their own, Department X mindwiped Bling! after which she returned to the Summers Institute for Higher Learning.

(Age of X-Man: NextGen#2 - BTS) - Unsure if Anole had been caught, Maggott sent the young student a vial of Unveil to remind him of the truth.

(Age of X-Man: NextGen#2) - That night, Maggott hosted another gathering in his safehouse. During the meeting Maggott gave his fellow radical followers another batch of Unveil noting that since his supplier had disappeared it would be their last for a while. He then explained that while he believed En Sabah Nur's message of love and togetherness, he was disappointed by his lack of courage to act. Determined to expose the truth, Maggott announced he was planning to bomb the heart of X-Men's propaganda machine at the Hope Summers Memorial Library.

(Age of X-Man: NextGen#4) - The following night, Maggott hosted another gathering at his safehouse. But instead of planning the bombing, Anole revealed Armor and Glob Herman claimed to know the truth (Glob's "living wax" body had made him immune to X-Man's manipulation, leaving his memories of their past lives intact). Fearing Anole been followed, Maggott decided they had to carry out their plan tonight. In a twist, Anole was tasked with placing the bomb in the Hope Summers Memorial Library. Not long after Armor, Glob Herman and Rockslide arrived at Maggott's safehouse confronting the mutant. As the students explained they wished to help Anole, Glob Herman revealed that En Sabah Nur was in fact a mutant supremacist supervillain. Enraged by such perceived blasphemy Maggott attacked Herman, causing an all-out battle between both groups until Rockslide found the blue prints to the Hope Summers Memorial Library. Learning of Maggott's plan, the students quickly left to find their friend. The students were eventually captured by the X-Men and incarcerated in the Danger Room Prison Complex.

(Age of X-Man: Omega#1 - BTS) - When X-Man was finally disposed, he released the X-Men and their allies back into the real world.

(House of X#5 - BTS) - Maggott was one of many who accepted the invitation to live on the sovereign mutant island nation of Krakoa, ruled by the Quiet Council.

(House of X#5) - Maggott and dozens of other Krakoans had gathered near Krakoa's Arbor Magna to witness the resurrection protocols firsthand as the Five had resurrected the X-Men who'd died during an outspace mission to stop Orchis from activating Mother Mold.

(Excalibur IV#1) - Jean Grey, Marrow and Maggott were seen enjoying their new home on Krakoa when Apocalypse discovered an inactive Krakoan gate to Avalon.

(X-Force VI#9) - Maggott was seen enjoying a drink in Krakoa's Green Lagoon where he was getting intimate with Penance (Monet St. Croix).

(Cable IV#8 - BTS) - When Beast and Domino discussed a group of Stryfe clones, Domino wondered if Maggott's worm guys could eat the clones.

(Children of the Atom#1) - Maggott joined Magma and Pixie on a trip to Brooklyn after learning a young group of "mutants" were patrolling the city as the Children of the Atom. The mutants witnessed the young teenagers square off against the Hells Belles after which they confronted them. After complimenting the teenagers on their efforts, Magma asked why they hadn't yet seen the group on Krakoa, however, the Children of the Atom who were regular humans (except for Gimmick) explained they still preferred to follow their human-education. Magma assured the teenagers now one would force them but they were still welcome after which she, Maggott and Pixie returned to Krakoa.

(Children of the Atom#4) - When the Children of the Atom were kidnapped by the U-Men, Daycrawler urged Krakoa to help him rescue his friends. Maggott joined a strike team consisting of Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Pixie and Magma to stop the U-Men.

(Children of the Atom#5) - Maggott and Krakoa's finest fought the U-Men, a fight during which Maggott was eager to use Eany and Meany to "eat a hole through this mess," Nightcrawler wondered if there was another way to best the fanatical humans. The U-Men, however, gained the upper hand after using Barrington's newest technology after which the Children of the Atom finally stepped up and destroyed the technology. Now the two groups were joined they successfully defeated the U-Men. But having learned the teenagers were regular humans, Cyclopa advised the team to stand down after which the mutants returned to Krakoa.

(X-Men Unlimited III#35 (fb) - BTS) - When Greenlawn, Long Island was terrorized by the towering sludge-like D.K., Maggott was asked to join the official X-Men team on the mission. Being near-indestructible, Maggott was chosen to distract the creature while Polaris would tear the magnetite out of it body. However, when the plan backfired Maggott was benched and had to wait while the X-Men fought it.

(X-Men Unlimited III#35) - Maggott sat and watched as the official team of X-Men fought D.K., slightly disappointed. When Jean Grey eventually defeated D.K. by tearing him to small parts Maggott was tasked to eat the toxic protoplasm left behind. However, just as the X-Men looked away D.K. managed to form a giant fist with whom he killed Maggott and Meany.
    Killed on an official X-Men mission, Maggott was rushed through the Resurrection Protocols and returned to life. Upon his resurrection Charles Xavier himself appeared to imprint his mind with a backup of all his memories. Sometime later that day Maggott met up with X-23 in the Green Lagoon for lunch when Maggott shared his new Eany had not yet eaten or even talked to him. In reality Maggott and the X-Men were unaware his original Eany had not been killed by D.K. and was still alive.

(X-Men Unlimited III#35 - BTS) - Meanwhile back in Greenlawn, Long Island Eany appeared to be mutated by the D.K.'s toxic protoplasm, sporting a more feral look he attacked a human.

(X-Men Unlimited III#36 - BTS) - Eany made its way to Salina Cruz in Mexico where it continued to grow in size, shedding its skin. Eany eventually grew to a Godzilla-sized creature.

(X-Men Unlimited III#36) - Maggott met with Emma Frost in Krakoa's Healing Gardens where she made a telepathic connection with the new Eany who still wouldn't eat. As such Frost learned Eany had survived the X-Men's mission and was eating more and more to grow bigger to return home.

(X-Men Unlimited III#37) - Frost explained to Maggott that his original Eany had survived D.K.'s attack and was still alive and on her way to Krakoa. In an effort to fix the situation Frost suggested to put the new Eany down. Upset by Frost's suggestion Maggott tried to leave the Healing Gardens only to be jumped by Frost in her diamond-form. Enraged, Maggott accessed the energy stored by Meany with whom he threw Frost into the ground after which she smacked Maggott in the head with a large slab of stone. Defeated and unconscious, Frost put Maggott on a table after which she pulled the small Eany from his stomach. But before she could kill the creature she was opposed by X-23.

(X-Men Unlimited III#38) - When Maggott regained his senses he witnessed the fight between Frost and X-23 and made a run for it. Unable to brute force her way into Maggott's mind but determined to stop the man she used her telepathy to take control of Wild Child to attack him with. However, Frost had to let Wild Child go when she learned X-23 had nicked her femoral artery forcing her to return to diamond shape. Meanwhile Maggott had reached the island shore where he sat down to rest and talk with his new Eany who still refused to eat. Maggott believed Eany was trying to protect all of Krakoa by dying before the old Eany could arrive but refused to let it happen. All while the old monstrous Eany had finally arrived to Krakoa.

(X-Men Unlimited III#39) - Several mutants such a Cannonball, Avalanche and Banshee joined forces to fight the monstrous Eany who'd arrived to Krakoa while Maggott watched from a cave and recalled how he'd met Eany and Meany. Just then Emma Frost appeared and while she grabbed Maggott by the throat she explained there wasn't anything she wouldn't do to keep protect the nation of Krakoa. But although Maggott refused to turn Eany over the little creature made her way to Emma, unaware Meany was hanging from the ceiling above Frost. Meany then attacked Frost, biting her hand allowing Maggott and Eany to escape only to run straight into the monstrous Eany.

(X-Men Unlimited III#40) - Staring the monstrous Eany in the face, Maggott realized there was no point in reasoning with the towering beast. The monstrous Eany then tried to kill Maggott who was rescued by Banshee who dropped them off at the beast. Still determined to keep Eany save, Maggott handed her over to X-23 to protect her after which he and Meany were swooped up and eaten by the monstrous Eany. While Maggott and Meany fought for their lives inside the monstrous Eany's intestines, the new Eany showed X-23 she wanted to be killed, a wish Laura Kinney fulfilled. With the new Eany gone, Maggott was able to once again absorb the monstrous Eany's fissile energy again which caused the monster to explode. In reality the monstrous Eany returned to her normal size. With the threat at hand dealt with Maggott found his body jacked up from all the energy. Not long after Laura Kinney revealed she'd killed the new Eany much to Maggott's regret.

    Two weeks later when everything had returned to normal, Maggott was seen eating lunch with Eany and Meany when Laura Kinney tried to interact with them. Maggott, however, gave her the cold shoulder as he still wasn't over the loss of his new Eany.

(Legion of X#1 - BTS) - Maggott was one of the many mutants who joined Nightcrawler's peacekeeping force the Legionaries tasked with reinforcing Krakoa's mutant laws.

(Legion of X#1) - Maggott attended a Legionaries meeting at the Station inside the Altar where Maggott was tasked with collecting biometry as someone was graffitiing Rockslide. In reality, four young mutants (Brutha Nature, Glob Herman, Cam Long and Spike) would paint Rockslide different colors to cheer him up.

(Legion of X#3) - Maggott was seen leaving the Altar just as Doctor Nemesis entered.

(X-Force VI#32) - When mutants came under attack during Judgement Day, Maggott was one of the many mutants targeted. While being hunted Maggott throw one of his slugs at the creature's head causing it to shoot its comrade. Maggott's victory, however, was only short as he was jumped from the back by Kraven the Hunter who then beheaded Maggott.

(Legion of X#7 - BTS) - Maggott was resurrected by the Five.

(Legion of X#7) - Maggot was seen alongside Blob entering the Altar just as Nightcrawler lead another Legionaries meeting.

(Marauders II#8) - When Kwannon showed Crave of the Threshold Three around Krakoa she showed him John Greycrow's diner where Maggott let Eany and Meany eat his dinner. Amazed by the sight and still hungry after finishing his own dinner, Crave asked Maggott if his "gut demons" intended to finish their dinner.

Comments: Created by Scott Lobdell, Joe Madureira and Tim Townsend.

Ah, Maggott... Scott Lobdell's legacy on the X-Men franchise which Joe Kelly and Steve Seagle tried to incorporate as best they could. In his earliest appearances, he looked like a refugee from Joe Madureira's BattleChasers and then he turned out to be a sickly South African kid with robotized intestines that took the term "eating out" to the next level.

Just why Angel and Psylocke just left Maggott lying around the World Trade Center when Betsy repeatedly stated she sensed a great darkness within him was beyond baffling. You'd think they'd be at least concerned enough to either get him arrested or to Xavier's for the help he so clearly needed. Instead, they just left. Only for incoming writer Steve Seagle to turn back the clock a month later and have them still standing around Maggott's unconscious body.

Also, having Betsy indirectly transport herself, Angel and Maggott to Magneto in the Arctic just as he was dressed as Eric the Red and ready to judge Gambit for helping Sinister assemble the Marauders was...beyond convenient. Yet, somehow, it added to the mystery of Maggott at the time. It might be explained away by the fact that Betsy sensed a great emptiness inside Maggott which her vaguely defined mystical Crimson Dawn powers might have conveniently tried to solve by taking them to either Magneto and/or Joseph.

Back in early 1999, there was a bit of buzz surrounding Maggott's transfer from the X-Men to Generation X. He arrived in the closing pages of #48 only to leave again before the next issue was over. One would assume someone at Marvel wasn't too keen on having the Afrikander on the team.

So, did Maggott survive the events of Necrosha? An unspecified number of mutants resurrected by Selene's magic and the techno-organic virus seemingly continued on even after her defeat. Maybe Maggott was among them but it seems rather unlikely given both his lack of popularity or the absence of his two slugs. Without either of those, he'd surely die.

Maggott received profiles in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z HC Vol. 7, All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z I#7 and Marvel Encyclopedia: X-Men.

Maggott also appeared on the covers of Age of X-Man: NextGen#1 and #3 while not appearing in the issues itself.
