At first Bowman struggled to find his place in the League, feeling like the junior member they felt like they had to let into the club because of his legacy and he adopted a flippant attitude; smarting off as he faced foes, from the Mastermind, the Power Corps, to members of the Crime League. Eventually Bowman’s new attitude started to shift towards his teammates, his biting wit pointing out mistakes they’d made or airing out Bowman’s thoughts on what they’d done that he hadn’t agreed with personally. This brought on a private talk from fellow legacy League member, the Raven. In a rare moment she shared that she felt many of the same insecurities that Bowman found himself facing but eventually realized that she’d gained membership on her own merit. Something that he had done as well, he’d led the Next-Gen despite not having any powers of his own successfully and had made them into a respectable group that was able to deal with threats that many thought were impossible for them to beat.
Realizing that he needed to have something of a solo career to balance out his time spent with the League, Bowman started hitting the streets of Freedom. Dealing with the day to day crooks like gang bangers, members of the Oliverti Crime Family and even super criminals like the Silencer, and Rant and Rave.
This ‘alone time’ has done wonders for Bowman’s attitude, mellowing him out a great deal and returning him back to his attitude of old. Though he has kept the banter as part of his identity, Bowman found that it did help him during fights as it tended to distract his opponents and leave themselves more open to his attacks. He's even become more relaxed with the legacy of being the Bowman, so much to the point that he's redesigned his costume to show he's not just someone trying to copy the men who came before him.
Recently the League decided to refocus some of it’s attention on their former home town, they’d noticed that Freedom City was dealing with more and more super crime since their taking the League’s direction in a more global setting, so a recruitment drive was opened. A week later and a few dozen interviews later, the League had chosen it’s new members that would be based out of their old home town and Bowman would be their eyes and ears there. Bowman had become somewhat uncomfortable with the League’s more global viewpoint, preferring to focus more on the daily problems of crime the average citizen faced (not that he doesn’t mind helping to take care of Doctor Simian’s latest plot to put Ape-kind in control of the world, but he felt like he all he was dealing with were would-be conquerors and despots of foreign lands and he wanted to have a more positive effect in his life). So operating out of Freedom Hall in a manner similar to a reserve member, Bowman now wages his own war on crime often teaming up with the likes of Foreshadow and even old teammate Sonic from time to time but for the most part he works alone and keeps up on the goings on of the new members of the Freedom League.
