In Marvel Comics continuity, Frank McGee, Jason Flint, and Naja went on a mission to Morocco. The three of them flew to a dangerous part of the region in search of a NuHuman, whom they hoped would have a lead to Gorgon Petragon's missing son. While searching for the mysterious “Glass Girl”, they ran afoul of some soldiers who opened fire on them. Flint used his telekinesis to hurl sharpened rocks at them, while McGee secured the girl. He had her use her glass powers to turn sand into a lens, which they then used to refract energy back at the soldiers. Afterward, they boarded their aircraft and left. [1]
