Many initial competitors in the Upstarts game fell out, leaving only a select few. Trevor and Shinobi were left to compete against Fabian Cortez, the current point-leader for his murder of Magneto, along with Gamesmaster's amusing addition of the anti-mutant activist Graydon Creed. After Cortez's whining about Creed, Gamesmaster announced the membership of the Upstarts 
would be fixed after one final recruit... the one Fitzroy had secretly been planning to cultivate. Caught off-guard by Gamesmaster's basic omniscience, Trevor nevertheless proceeded with his plans. [Uncanny X-Men (1st series) #299]
Fitzroy recovered Bantam to use again as his temporal anchor. Together, the two of them arrived at the scene of a shootout on US-1 in the New Mexico desert. A young mutant anarchist named Siena Blaze and her partner, Wallace Benton, ran afoul the local police in their crime spree. 
Fitzroy killed Wallace and used his life energy to summon a hover engine from the camps before the Summer Rebellion. This juggernaut smashed through the police barricade and the officers manning it, killing all of Siena's opposition. As fantastic as that was, Siena was more shocked to see an older version of herself inside the cattle car as it passed by. Fitzroy recruited Siena Blaze as the final member of the Upstarts, intimating that he did so because, years ago in the future, Siena herself told him this was how it transpired. [Uncanny X-Men (1st series) Annual #17]
The Upstarts had secretly been formed by the Black Queen, Selene, in part to help clear the way for her to seize power in the Hellfire Club for herself. Fitzroy proved the competition had taken on a life of its own by kidnapping Selene and trapping her in a spooling chamber, breaking her apart on the molecular level and reconstituting her over and over again. His efforts were to get the attention of the Gamesmaster, an audience he could not demand without being the lead point holder among the Upstarts. Gamesmaster responded to Fitzroy's "summons," beginning a new round in the competition by naming Forge as their next target. Fitzroy, for his efforts, would receive the first chance at scoring a kill.
At Eagle Plaza in Texas, Fitzroy used his battle armor to force his way through Forge's defenses. He counted on his future tech to hopelessly outclass Forge's modern equipment, only to learn firsthand just how much ahead of the curve Forge's equipment really was. Moreover, he learned some limits of his powers, as trying to absorb lifeforce from Forge's bionic hand destroyed the artificial appendage but injured Trevor in the process. Fitzroy was kept busy by Forge and his 
houseguest Mystique, until Bishop and the rest of the X-Men arrived as reinforcements. Jean Grey managed to force apart Fitzroy's crystal armor at the seams, but he nonetheless retained its cloaking circuitry. He got his hands on Bishop and Forge and prepared to drain away their life-energy. Colossus, who was dealing with personal turmoil at the time, tackled Fitzroy and beat him so severely that the other X-Men needed to forcibly pull Colossus away from the villain. [Uncanny X-Men (1st series) #301-302]
In the final round of the Upstarts competition, Gamesmaster became even more involved in the proceedings. He decreed the Upstarts would be hunting surviving members of the Hellions and New Mutants, and that victims would be captured and delivered to him first before being killed at the end of the contest. Fitzroy protested Gamesmaster's increasing interference in the competition, but ultimately relented.
He challenged X-Force for possession of Warpath and Rictor. While Fitzroy was fighting most of the team, however, Warpath intimidated Bantam into giving him and Cable intel on Fitzroy. Based on this, Cable lunged at Trevor, with his techno-organic arm covered in a synthetic flesh sheath. Fitzroy tried to drain lifeforce from Cable's arm, but found his powers incompatible with Cable's techno-organics, and the backlash caused him to drain the life energy from himself instead. [X-Force (1st series) #32-33] Trevor was so severely injured by the process that most people, even Bantam, believed him dead from the consequences. [Bishop #1]
Fitzroy experienced a long recovery from his power's feedback. He recuperated in London, England while mutant relations became critical back in the States after the Onslaught affair and the rise of Operation: Zero Tolerance. While meeting with informants at a local pub, Fitzroy was drawn to the visiting Madelyne Pryor. Madelyne lured him out into the streets of London where they had 
a confrontation. Presently a psychic echo in human form, Fitzroy discovered Pryor had no lifeforce for him to absorb, and she proved surprisingly effective in combat even against his omnium mesh armor. Fitzroy's shock turned to fear when he learned Madelyne was working for Selene, back from the torture she suffered in his spooling chamber and eager for revenge. [X-Man #17]
The encounter turned out better than Trevor might have expected. Instead of killing him, Selene forcibly recruited Fitzroy into a new coalition she was building to retake power in the Hellfire Club. With Fitzroy and Madelyne by her side, she presented herself to Sebastian Shaw to seal an alliance and reform the Inner Circle as its Black King and Queen. Fitzroy was suitably cowed into showing loyalty to Selene, and seemed content to serve and wait for a time. He also had dreams of making Madelyne Pryor his, giving the right opportunity. Trevor was established as the White Rook, while Madelyne became the Black Rook in their new Circle. [X-Man #20-23]
Madelyne proved more cunning than Trevor or Selene anticipated, however, and positioned herself as reigning consort at Sebastian's side. Selene felt threatened by this minimized role, and intended to conspire with Fitzroy and Sebastian's jealous assistant Tessa against Madelyne. [X-
Man #28] This conspiracy never came to be, as both Selene and Madelyne became distracted by other affairs, leaving the Hellfire Club surprisingly quiet and tension-free. Fitzroy settled into a comfortable if somewhat boring role as Shaw's ally and confidant for several months. [Cable (1st series) #51, X-Men (2nd series) #73]
Fitzroy had been restrained for years across two time periods by his fear of Bishop, ready to flee at a moment's notice if his hated pursuer showed up. Bishop showed less and less concern for Fitzroy, though, dismissing his threat in place of the other concerns felt by the X-Men of this era. Left to his own devices, Trevor began exploring the limits of his powers for the first time in years. He engaged in the mass slaughter of helpless innocents to fuel his powers like never before, and learned to not only move through time, but control time itself.
Seeking new opportunities, Fitzroy reconnected with Bantam and traveled to an unknown era of the future, where the history of America was lost and the remaining people lived in a backwards, feudal system. Styling himself as the Chronomancer, Fitzroy gathered a confederation of lords under his command. With his powers, he supported them in suppressing the local population into 
a tyrannical kingdom under his thumb, with the lords acting as his regents and gathering tithes for his largess. Fitzroy used slave labor to produce his Chronotrooper Guardians, clockwork metal men which Fitzroy somehow animated with his powers, a growing supply of mindlessly loyal enforcers who could be dispatched anywhere in his kingdom in an instant by Fitzroy's powers. In this manner, he seized control of the era and ruled from his Chronokeep fortress, all but unopposed.
