(Young X-Men#3) - Carlos used his new tattoo to break down the walls of a prison, freeing his brother Julio from within.

(Young X-Men#8 (fb) - BTS) - Julio and Carlos joined up with dozens more of their friends, including Jesus, and all of them received additional tattoos from Leon Nunez. They drank beer and hung out in an abandoned paintball park.

(Young X-Men#8) - A group of X-Men attacked Julio and his friends, who called themselves the Y-Men as they fought back.

(Young X-Men#9) - Carlos battled the X-Men, using his shields and explosive punches. Ink arrived and knocked out Carlos before defeating the Y-Men. Carlos and the others were arrested as Leon Nunez fell into a coma, his powers over-extended.
