When teaching Derek to use and control, Derek spots a Company agent who has come to the warehouse. He was stopped by Irony and then interrogated. His name was Frederick Davies, but escaped with his partner's help. Their next assignment was to help a man named Richard Gold, however Elle Bishop arrives and causes the team to lose him. After losing the police, they are offered to join Pinehearst, but reject. The team then listen to Claude and Gabriel's stories from when the pair were Company agents, they soon get a heads up from Officer Bonkin, say where Jack will murder next. The Cockney Heroes recruit Jenny Rowland go to find Jack the Ripper. Once they confront him, Jack makes Irony see his worst fearspossesses him and drains Gabriel's ability away, but the team escape. Though after Jack takes Frederick Davies' form and finds the team, another fight breaks out in a hospital, Irony wakes up and helps to defeat Jack.

Three weeks later, Irony and the others celebrate Jack's demise. All of a sudden, Danko's team ambushes the party and captures Irony, Gabriel, Jenny, and Derek with tasers.

Veni Vidi Expugnavi

Irony awakes with Derek in a cell. Confused as to why they are there, they meet Eric Cowell, another evolved human, and discover that the prison in which they are is for "specials" only. The prison's boss, Consuela Hammock, gives a speech which explains the situation further. Irony stays behind when all the other inmates head back to their cells. When he arrives back at the cell, Irony tells Derek that they are going to escape. After Derek uses the passive side of his ability to short out the cell's electric door, they escape through corridors and discover that Officer Bonkin was the one who turned them in. They continue and find the Project DIBOAHA that Consuela had mentioned, who is actually a person, Obadiah. They untie him, but their presence is discovered and guards storm into the room. Irony manages to access a new level of his ability, stopping all the bullets that are fired at him. However, after the brief firefight, an explosion occurs.

Imprisoned

In solitary confinement, Irony introduces himself and Derek to Karl and Leckie. As Karl tell their story of how they were captured and placed into solitary confinement, Irony listens. Then, Irony and Karl simultaneously declare that they are going to escape the prison.

Déjà Vu

Irony learns from Karl that there are five additional prisoners in solitary confinement. After waiting a few days, they discover that the prison's stock of ability-negating drugs has run out, and their abilities have been restored. They release the five other prisoners, and together, try to escape. After their initial attempt is thwarted by Consuela Hammock, Karl saves them and, using a combination of the nine evolved humans' abilities, manage to subdue a guard as well as Consuela herself. One of the evolved humans, Stuart Harrison, is killed in the firefight, but the rest of them, including Irony, escape the prison safely.

Sliding Doors

After agreeing to meet Karl at the warehouse, Irony, Derek and Leckie took the tube. As the train suddenly stopped they find it is the result of a hooded evolved human who can release EMPs.

They chase him until he is overwhelmed by Irony. Discovering they are both prison escapees and due to a tip off from REBEL, that there are agents waiting for them at the next stop. Tyler manages to reverse the EMP and the group is rescued by Karl who takes them to the sewer, below the warehouse, much to Irony's delight.

Shattered Lives

Irony and the others arrive at the warehouse after Karl had created a tunnel to escape the train tunnel.

Later on that night, some escapees from the prison arrive at the warehouse and Karl buries underground and creates a bunker for all the escapees. Irony questions the escapees asking who sent them, he then accompanies them down to the bunker. When Karl has shown them around Irony makes his way to the surface with Derek, Karl, Tyler and Leckie when they reach the top Leckie is shot by an unknown assailant and Karl makes the ground move to make a wall keeping them safe.

The Wanderer Returns

When Leckie is shot by an assailant and the team panics, Irony suggests using Derek's ability as a defibrillator to jump-start Leckie's heart.

Later, Irony, Derek, and Tyler confront Consuela Hammock, Officer Bonkin, and Bobby. Irony asks who shot Leckie, and Bobby says that it was him, and prepares to shoot Irony as well. However, before he can, he is zapped from behind by Gabriel Bishop, much to Irony's delight. However, Consuela soon spoils the reunion, shooting both Gabriel and Officer Bonkin. Knowing that it is too late for Gabriel, Irony and the team rush to help Officer Bonkin.

Room 410

After dumping Gabriel's body in a skip, Irony, Elizabeth, Kate, Tyler and Derek are confronted by a mysterious woman who tells them her ability and how they need both Leckie and Frederick to stop an incoming batch of drugs. After deciding to use Elizabeth's ability to transport Leckie out of the hospital, Irony and the gang find Gabriel's body is missing.

He and Elizabeth arrive at the hospital, and after gaining directions from a nurse, head to Leckie's room, 410. Using his ability, he gets past the police on guard, and the pair escape with a sand container, which Elizabeth soon restores to an unconscious Leckie. Relieved, Irony tells the gang they must stop the incoming batch of drugs.

Evolved Human Abilities

Irony has the ability of ability diminishment, he can weaken others abilities. He has been shown to take the 'life force' of people and can reduce energy, as he has shown to have done once. He can also negate the effects of abilties by absorbing the 'energy' when it touches him, creating somewhat of an ability force field.
