He returns as a major ally in Final Endings. This is the original depiction of Sebastian Rhodes, as created by Alex Guy.

Sebastian was approached by Helix to put together a team to combat the powerful mutant Sylvia Smythe, recruiting Orion, Hannah, Lyz, Net, and Alystair. After several battles with the ADMINS, Sebastian and his allies confronted Sylvia conflict, however, Sebastian and Orion became enemies due to their opposing ideals following this conflict.

Twenty-five years later, Sebastian lived under the name "Paxton Young" and became the principal of Universal Academy. Discovering Orion's plan to overtake humanity, Sebastian was forced to put together a team consisting of the best students to Orion's Team Neo, later helping Axel and Serena against the Vega Foundation.
