Erg was one of the few Morlocks to survive the Marauders' attack during the 'Mutant Massacre'. He was also one of the first mutants to seek a safe haven at the Xavier Institute following M-Day, when most mutants lost their powers. Erg, Mammomax, and Peepers were running from members of the murderous Sapien League. They had the institute in sight when they were taken down by a shock grenade and tasers. The Leper Queen orders her men to kill them. The League members set up three St. Andrew's crosses (which are "X" shaped) with braces to keep the crosses upright. Erg is tied to one of the crosses. Gasoline was poured on and a lit match tossed. Erg regains consciousness when the lower legs of the cross were blazing. He would have died if he hadn't been yanked off by Wolverine.

Erg ends up living with many other mutants, some there unwillingly. It was Erg's idea to have a "198" flag, the number representing what was originally though to be the amount of mutants left in the entire world. He claims he had an uncle, unnamed, who was a Hell's Angel. He states that the Hell's Angels wear a 1% badge because the media says it was just one percent of bikers who caused the trouble when a biker gang tore up a town called Hollister back in the 1940s.
