In today’s present time a young couple were staying in the vicinity and the man, Dexter Rayne, almost tripped over the small statue that Llan was imprisoned within. He uncovered it fully and Llan began to exert an influence over him. He had Dexter murder his girlfriend by slitting her throat so her blood flowed into a pan holding the statue. With this ritual done, Llan assumed a physical form by taking over Dexter's body. Having regained a physical form he then decided to go after the Talisman affiliated with Alpha Flight and her allies. He took all the Alpha members to an inter-dimensional combat room and tried to have Talisman strike out against him. He did this by provoking fights with various members, when he had defeated most of the members and was on the point of killing Madison Jeffries, Talisman was forced to attack him, by doing this she had released him to attack the Earth. He left Alpha behind while he went off to the Earth dimension.
