History

Jimmy Darnell was part of a team organized by Simon Utrecht a millionaire, public official, and industrialist who wanted to simulate the crash that led to the powers of the Fantastic Four. He promised each member of the team super powers due to exposure (although intentional, not accidental) to cosmic radiation. During this launch, Dr. Bruce Banner (known as the Hulk) was on hand at the base, and believing the ship to be having problems, guided it back to Earth. The now-changed humans called themselves the U-Foes (possible in connection with Utrecht's last name) and blamed Banner for cutting short their radiation exposure.

They again battled the Hulk and this time defeated him. In triumph, they exhibited the captive Bruce Banner on national television. However, Banner was freed by Rick Jones, Betty Ross, and the alien Bereet, and Banner transformed into the Hulk and defeated the U-Foes.[1]

Civil War/Initiative

Along with the other U-Foes, he joined Thunderbolts Army and after the Civil War. James was among the 142 registered superhuman who registered as part of the The Initiative[2]. [3]

Hood

Though a registered hero, X-Ray later joined the Hood's criminal organization who planned to take advantage of the split in the superhero community caused by the Superhuman Registration Act. During the Skrull Invasion, he was among the many supervillains who rejoined the Hood's crime syndicate and attacked an invading Skrull force.[4]

War of Kings: Darkhawk

When a Skrull booby trap went off in Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., he was one of the two U-Foes who were attempting to escape and was dealt with by Nova.
