Return
He later fell under the control of Cassandra Nova who used him to build her equipment to be used to exterminate Mutants around the world. This led to him creating Sentinites that were machines that embedded themselves in hosts and allowed them to detect Mutants but also brainwashed them into exterminating those with such mutations. (X-Men: Red v1 #4)
House of X
Charles Xavier later approached Forge about adding a new feature within Cerebro namely the ability to store the thoughts and personality of every Mutant. This was to be used in conjunction with the Five that would create the Resurrection Protocols allowing them to revive any Mutant that had been killed with the backup being used to restore their minds in a new body. (Powers of X v1 #5)
