As an adult the Rogues came to him after Captain Boomerang was nearly killed by a new Dark Flash. They needed a new Rogue to combat him, and Anthony volunteered. They used their tech and T.O. Morrow's futuristic machinery to turn Anthony into an energy being capable of absorbing and replicating tech, the Replicant.
