Geoffrey Wilder and his recent bride
Catherine were lowly thieves in 1984 Los Angeles. After a heist, they were abducted by the
Gibborim, a group of giants who needed them to bring their plan to fruition. Along with five other couples, the Wilders formed the
Pride, a group dedicated to bringing about the end of the world for the Gibborim. Each couple had their unique powers augmented by the Gibborim, meaning that Geoffrey and Catherine's shrewdness was increased, allowing them to become crime lords. The Gibborim also promised that six of the twelve members of the Pride would be saved after the world ended. A few years later, the couples decided to each have a single child and have their children be saved.
1985 version Several months later, Alex's friends learn about his death and discover several files from his computer. The files claim that the Pride was a group of heroes (as opposed to villains as reported by the
Daily Bugle), and contain a ritual detailing how to resurrect Alex. When Alex's friends perform the spell, they accidentally resurrect Geoffrey instead. The Geoffrey they raised from the dead is his past self from 1985, who has only been with the Pride for a year. Geoffrey recruits Alex's friends to his side and reforms the Pride with them as members. He intends to use them to regain favor with the Gibborim by sacrificing one of the Runaways, a plot the other members of the new Pride are unaware of. During this period, he poses as
Chamber to infiltrate
Excelsior and get information on the Runaways. Wilder is eventually stopped by the Runaways, but manages to impale and kill
Gertrude Yorkes. The Runaways then erase his memory from his time in 2006, and return him to his home time. ==Other versions==
