Empire I#1
(fb) – BTS) – After undergoing Terrigenesis, Brian McAllister
discovered he had the ability to duplicate images he had seen by
growing them within his own body and vomiting them up. He refused to
register as a super-powered operative after Hydra took over the
government and instead, he focused on working and taking care of his
little brother Jason. Brian sometimes had to vomit things up while at
work, back behind the dumpster.
(Secret Empire I#1) – While dropping Jason off at school (with Anna), Brian promised to get him a new Captain America lunchbox, as bully Marcus Festerman had stolen Jason's last one. Brian googled images of the lunchboxes then he vomited up a new one when he got home. Just then, Hydra agents showed up to arrest Brian for his failure to register.
(Captain America: Steve Rogers I#17 (fb) – BTS) – Brian was taken to the Inhuman Holding Center in New Attilan, where he was equipped with a face mask that prevented his powers and stopped him from speaking. He had to drink through a straw.
(Captain America: Steve Rogers I#17) – As the frightening warden Mr. Hyde addressed the Inhumans, Brian befriended Naja.
(Captain America VIII#25 (fb) – BTS) – Befriending his other inmates, including Iso, McAllister received the nickname Barf. In time, they got his face mask off then he saw the guards' keys and barfed a copy up, allowing them to escape.
(Captain America VIII#25) – Captain America (Sam Wilson) and Iron Man (Tony Stark A.I.) were among the heroes who rushed in to save the Inhumans. Learning about Barf's powers, the heroes showed him an image of a Cosmic Cube fragment and he barfed one up.
(Secret Empire I#10) – The government let the Inhumans all out of their imprisonment if they agreed to sign a waiver that excused the government for his actions. Not wanting to wait for an attorney, Brian signed the form and then rushed to be reunited with Jason. They returned home to find graffiti painted on the house (including "Hail Hydra" and "Die Inhuman"). The next morning, he found Ms. Peters, Harris and kids from the school, including Marcus Festerman, helping clean up the graffiti.

I#1) – Brian, Jason's big brother, promised to get him a new lunchbox
then dropped him off at school. Jason rushed in right on time and was
embarrassed when he gave the wrong answer in class to Ms. Peters, who
reminded him the textbooks had new information now; she praised Anna
for getting the information right. Marcus then raised his hand,
reporting that Jason's older brother Brian was a freak. Jason called
Marcus a liar and Ms. Peters said she wanted to see them both after
class. Later, Brian was arrested for being an Inhuman.
