• Gen 13 visited New York City, but decided to leave their pet Qeelocke in their hotel room while they went site-seeing. When a bizarre creature entered Earth's dimension in the Atlantic Ocean, Qeelocke sensed it and began to act violently. Later, Gen 13 returned to find that Qeelocke had busted out of the room and gone on a rampage, and had also begun to grow. While they were out killing their evening, Spider-Man and the Human Torch came across Qeelocke, and, not knowing what it was, captured it. Torch told Spider-Man to bring it to the Baxter Building. As he flew back there, the Torch caught the attention of Freefal, who mistook him for her teammate Burnout. After Spider-Man delivered the still-growing Qeelocke to the Fantastic Four, the team went to investigate the new creature that was seen in the ocean. Gen 13 realized that the Fantastic Four were holding Qeelocke and Freefall went to the Baxter Building to talk to the Torch. When the Torch explained that Qeelocke was growing and violent, Freefall flew through the building looking for him. When she did, the rest of her team, who had followed her, arrived and confronted the Thing and Torch, and fought them while trying to free their pet. Before things could go too horribly wrong, Mr. Fantastic arrived and settled things down, but just as he did, the other creature made its way on to land. Qeelocke broke free and in its frenzied state, went to meet the other creature. Mr. Fantastic theorized that the two now-gigantic creatures must be mortal enemies and were tracking each other down by instinct. This proved to be quite incorrect when the two monsters finally confronted each other and, instead of fighting, began to mate. When they were finished, the other creature disappeared, apparently back to its original dimension, while Qeelocke returned to its normal size and attitude. The two teams, somewhat embarrased over the situation, parted ways. (see Gen 13/Fantastic Four).
