Weary of continually cloning his own henchmen, only for them fail him again and again, Mr. Sinister creates feral clones of six of the X-Men, and transplants No-Girl's brain into the duplicate of Storm. The clones are unleashed against Spider-Man and the Special Class of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, and die via melting when Sinister destroys his own laboratory while retreating from the losing battle; Ernst is able to rip No-Girl's brain free of the Storm clone, and place it back into its life support system.
