He joined the New Warriors as Bolt, in hopes of making something of his life. As a member of the New Warriors, Bolt had worked closely with the team. However, it was in Namorita that Bolt had found a special friendship. She had been the only one of the New Warriors, he had confessed having the Legacy Virus to.
He also later found himself working with Maverick, a fellow mutant and Legacy Virus sufferer. The virus was cured through the actions of Colossus (Piotr Rasputin). However one day Nord mysteriously disappeared. Chris took up his equipment and the name of Maverick.
