X3: Madrox apparently decided to use his powers for himself and became a criminal, but was later caught when he tried to rob seven banks… at the same time. He was locked away in a special cell on a prison truck which was also carrying the mutant known as Mystique. When Magneto eventually rescued his trusted follower, he also broke Madrox free, offering him a place in his Brotherhood, which Jamie easily accepted. However, during the escape, Mystique was shot with a cure dart, erasing her mutant powers, and causing Magneto to leave her behind. Not one to take rejection easily, Mystique disclosed to the government the location of Magneto’s base. However, either through understanding how his former minion would react or through some secret plan, Magneto escaped his compound early, leaving Madrox behind to use his duplicates to confuse the government forces. However, this meant that Jamie would be recaptured, but he didn’t seem to mind.
