History:

(X-Men '92 II#1 - BTS) - After Professor Charles Xavier opened the Xavier Institute to the public, Everett Thomas was one of the many young teenagers that enrolled at the Xavier Institute. Because of his mutation, he took the codename Synch.

(X-Men '92 II#1) - Synch, Vivisector and Kid Sensitive were seen walking through the school's hallways during the first day of the semester. The students were shocked when X-Man Rogue came crashing through the school's walls when she was training with Gambit. Not much later Synch, Doop, M and other students attended Beast's class when mutant assassin Maverick came crashing through the classroom's window. Coming to warn the X-Men, Maverick fainted prompting Beast to dismiss his class.

(X-Men '92 II#2) - That night X-Man Bishop attacked Maverick on the school's front lawn believing the assassin was hiding something. The loud ruckus had woken up Synch, Doop, Skin and U-Go Gir who clearly enjoyed the battle only to be turned away by Xavier. However Synch then noticed Chamber carrying Jubilee through the school gate and alarmed the X-Men. Jubilee had been bitten by the vampire Alpha Red, the Soviet Union's answer to Captain America.

(X-Men '92 II#4 - BTS) - Synch was one of the many students turned into a vampire during Alpha Red's assault. Now falling under Alpha Red's command, Synch was forced to work alongside the People's Protectorate to defeat the X-Men.

(X-Men '92 II#4) - When Alpha Red and his vamped followers attacked the X-Men, Synch and the other vamped students were eager to kill U-Go Girl. She, however, teleported the vamped students to the Danger Room where they faced several constructs of legendary vampire hunter Blade. All of them were rescued when Dead Girl gave the Darkhold her soul to whisper the words "no more vampires" causing the vampire-curse to be lifted on Earth, turning all back into humans. Thus dealing with the situation at hand.

(X-Men '92 II#6 - BTS) - In an effort to make sure the entire student body would fully recover from their encounter with Alpha Red, Charles Xavier grounded the entire student body, including Synch.

(X-Men '92 II#10 (fb) - BTS) - Still grounded, Synch, Vivisector, Blink and Doop used their time to train in the Danger Room. Professor X, however, had turned down the difficulty levels as well, causing the students to easily defeat the Sentinels. Blink joined Doop on a skateboard as he discovered how to hack into the level structure.

(X-Men '92 II#10) - Synch watched as Vivisector complained about the Danger Room settings after which Blink and Doop revealed they'd discovered how to hack into the level structure and could build a skate park. However, before the students could enjoy the "killer" skate park they were surprised by the sudden arrival of Cyclops and Jean Grey who'd traveled back in time from 2099 A.D. of Earth-928. The senior X-Men had acquired the Darkhold from President Doom (Victor von Doom of Earth-928) which could be used in the X-Men's fight against Xodus the Forgotten. Vivisector, Blink and Doop stayed behind while Synch joined Cyclops and Jean Grey to meet the X-Men. Synch was present when the Charles Xavier and Apocalypse discussed a plan to activate the latent x-gene in all humans to create a world full of mutants to stop Xodus the Forgotten. Apocalypse had originally planned to use S.W.O.R.D.'s alien technology to construct a device to do so but with the Peak down it was X-Men student Dead Girl who suggested they use the Darkhold to do so. Reminded of the Darkhold book, Cyclops asked Husk to bring it after which Dead Girl with Xavier's help was able to turn millions of humans into mutants. Synch presumably joined the millions of mutants in the fight against Xodus.

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. All Earth-92131 profiles on the Marvel Appendix reflected that information, however, this has since been debunked with the news that the original X-Men: The Animated Series will receive a brand new season to pick up where the original series ended. As such the reality seen in two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015-2017) now have their own reality-designation. 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. Nearly thirty years after X-Men: The Animated Series first debuted the new season will appear on Disney+ in fall 2023.
