After the events of the House of M Freakshow is revealed to be one of the many mutants to lose his abilities has a result of the Scarlet Witch's decimation. He has been seen with a number of Genoshan mutants including Unus the Untouchable and Wicked. In "Son of M" #5, (June 2006) the traveling mutant Quicksilver convinces them to try the mutagenic compound called the "Terrigen Mists", which had been stolen from the Inhumans. Freakshow regains his powers, but like the other mutants who have used the mist, it came with a price. For some time, he is unable to change out of his large, monstrous form. While trapped like this, he and the other Genosha mutants are drawn into battle with the Inhumans, who are tracking down Quicksilver. Some time after, the effects of the mist wear off.
