He would often keep to himself, due to his bizarre eating habits, which made the rest of the team suspicious. Maggott was asked to join the X-Men on a full-time basis. One of Maggott's slugs gulped down the device, where it detonated in its belly - but caused no more reaction than a fiery burp. When the bomb was removed, however, it was still going to detonate, and the team panicked. Maggott followed the team back to the mansion where they found Cyclops undergoing surgery to remove a bomb within his chest. He finally was able to express his gratitude to the man for saving his life as a child. At this location, Maggott finally met with Joseph who, at the time, was believed to be the real Magneto. After a brief showdown, they were all suddenly teleported away to Antarctica and put on the jury at the Trial of Gambit with other various X-Men. Using his psychometric powers - which allowed him to read "memories" of a specific area - Maggott finally believed he traced Magneto's signature down to New York City - but found Psylocke and Archangel instead. They also feasted up to five times daily, and the physical and mental toll was becoming too much for the young man. Maggott's slugs, Eany and Meany, had to burrow their way in and out of his stomach each time, causing immense pain. Little is known of what Maggott did in the following years, but at some point he decided to search out Magneto, to attempt to have Magneto help him master his powers. Magneto grew angry, but told Japheth he would one day change his mind. Asked to help, Magneto slaughtered the rebels in retaliation with Japheth by his side, but the boy was horrified and said he would never join Magneto's cause. Magneto extracted the slugs and brought Japheth back home, but found Japheth's father had been killed by rebel fighters, the Afrikaners. He wound up in the Kalahari Desert only to be found and saved by Magneto, who helped uncover the nature of the boy's malady: two slug-like creatures that dwelt within his guts that were the boy's digestive system, which he later named Eany and Meany. Told by doctors his terrible stomach pains were caused by cancer, and not wanting to drain his family's finances with medical treatment, young Japheth left his small South African village at twelve to commit suicide. He suffered from terrible stomach pains and required a special food. Quasar's powers were ineffective against the Anomaly realizing normal methods and logic were inappropriate with Anomaly Quasar simply surrendered, and Anomaly temporally broke apart into energy fractals.Born to a family of five siblings, young Japheth never quite grew at the normal rate of his other siblings. Upon Quasar's return, Anomaly attacked anew, having learned Quasar had invoked his attributes without permission. When he later entered the realm of Manifestations, in search of the embodiment of time and space known as Eternity, Quasar and the Elder of the Universe known as the Contemplator were attacked by the Anomaly until they agreed to depart. His foe Quasar's costume has been retroactively altered by the entity Origin, making his prior costume's existence an anomaly. Unaware that he had only slain Anomaly's M-Body Maelstrom, wielding powerful forces that required constant concentration, was later destroyed following a distraction by the discovery that he was not universe's sole anomaly. In somewhat abstract form at the time, and Maelstrom seemingly killed Anomaly and usurped its role. In recent years, the Deviant/ Inhuman hybrid Maelstrom served the abstract entity Oblivion. To interact with the physical universe, it adopted an " Manifestation Body" (M-Body) from the Dimension of Manifestations. The Anomaly allegedly perceived an unfulfilled conceptual niche in Earth's dimension, traveled there and altered itself to fill that niche as an abstract entity embodying those concepts. It is thought that the Anomaly is older than the current universe itself. The past history of the conceptual being known as Anomaly has yet to be revealed.
