Vic did not appear on the front cover of any albums or compilations from 1991 to 2000. However, when Megadeth tried to bring back a more "classic" vibe to their material, he returned for the 2001 album "The World Needs a Hero", the 2004 album "The System Has Failed", as well as the 2007 studio album "United Abominations" in a human form. He is identified by his visor, metal caps on his ears, and clamps on his mouth. Only Vic's face is shown in the mushroom cloud on the 2005 compilation "". Vic was once again absent from the cover of "Endgame", instead found in the album's booklet much like the inside cover of "Youthanasia" and "Countdown To Extinction". His portrait image can also be found by joining the spine labels of the 7 albums Mustaine re-released in 2004. Vic was mentioned in the band's 2010 video "The Right to Go Insane" and featured on the cover art for the "Sudden Death" single. On the cover of "Th1rt3en" he is shown with his back turned. Vic can be seen very faintly on the "Super Collider" album artwork as a reflection in the center of the particle collider; it is revealed inside the cover and on the back that Vic is the Super Collider. On "Dystopia", a robot version of Vic Rattlehead is seen.
