 brings Cortex to their time, however reprogramed, and forces the Madrox dupe to attack the mutants. Although initially at a disantvantage, especially when Doom reveals that he has taken control of her father-Cyclops due to him being more cyborg then man, she manages to blast Cortex out of the building and to disable Cyclops by having her energy blast ricochet off a wall and hit him in the back. While she swears to kill Doom, he manages to flee.

While Madrox battles Cortex, Ruby asks Layla to revive Fitzroy who was killed during Cortex's initial assault. Although Layla does not think that it is a good idea she complies since Ruby persuades her that they may yet take control of their own destiny.

Powers and abilities

Ruby has the power to emit force beams from her eyes, like her father, but hers are black and take 93 seconds to regenerate. She also has the ability to transform her body into organic ruby similar to her mother's diamond form. This ruby form halts the aging process and allows her to survive without sustenance, but due to fear that she might "age nearly seventy years in seconds" if she reverts, she has remained in this form for decades.
