Ambushed while out driving by telepathic CIA assassins who feared Cloud 9's powers, White Heat died but Dr. Beat survived — albeit horrifically injured and brain-damaged, a shadow of his former self. Rebuilt by Peyne as the near mindless cyborg killer called Warhead, twenty years later Dr. Beat was sent out to kill his own son, but a horrified Zenith killed him instead, ending his father's misery at last.
