The Vanisher's first recruits were a male cyborg named Gomi and his two cybernetically enhanced lobsters Bill and Don, a young female teleporter by the name of Ariel, and a young Korean girl by the name of Chance, who had the ability to either inhibit or enhance the abilities of other mutants.
Ariel had used Chance as an accomplice to this end, not realizing that Chance was a mutant herself.
Ariel even teleported the group to a different dimension where they added the beings Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur to their ranks before finally journeying to Ariel's home dimension, the Coconut Grove.
