History:

Triumph was present on stage with the rest of the Brockton Bay Protectorate at the Forsberg Gallery when the Undersiders attacked. He managed to claw enough of Skitter's bugs from his face to use his sonic shout, knocking Skitter off her feet with a shockwave. He avoided Grue's stream of containment foam before kicking a cocktail table and used it as a shield. Skitter tried to come at him from another side, but he hit her with another shockwave. He geared up to use his power again only for one of Bitch's dogs to slam into him like a rampaging bull. <ref name = ":1">"Worm" Web Serial, Tangle 6.5</ref>

Triumph later faced off against Bitch and her dogs. Skitter directed her bugs to distract him and the other members of the Protectorate and, in the chaos, the Undersiders slipped away. <ref>"Worm" Web Serial, Parasite 10.6</ref>

Triumph accompanied Miss Militia, Battery, Weld, and Clockblocker to the middle of the lake Leviathan created to get information on the Slaughterhouse Nine. Hookwolf revealed that the Undersiders and the Travelers had been taking over the city before asking them for a truce until the Slaughterhouse Nine was dealt with. <ref>"Worm" Web Serial, Plague 12.2</ref>

Later, Triumph was present for a meeting Director Piggot had arranged with the Brockton Bay Protectorate and Wards. Director Piggot told them of their priorities before telling them that, when they attacked, they needed to make it an absolute victory. She then told them what she wanted them to do and told them that they would act that evening. <ref name = ":2">"Worm" Web Serial, Interlude 13</ref>

When Skitter used her insects to inform them about the positions of the Slaughterhouse Nine, Triumph talked about what he and his teammates would do. He eventually broke into a run alongside them towards where Jack Slash and Bonesaw were. <ref>"Worm" Web Serial, Prey 14.4</ref> When Crawler was distracted, he emerged alongside Glory Girl, Miss Militia, and Prism before engaging him.<ref>"Worm" Web Serial, Prey 14.5</ref>

Triumph later flanked Crawler and used a full-power shout to send Crawler sprawling through the clearing that Vista created. He then joined Ursa Aurora and Assault in attacking Crawler while his other teammates provided long-range support. <ref>"Worm" Web Serial, Prey 14.6</ref>

When Genesis broke into his family's house, he attempted to run only to be blocked by a swarm of Skitter's bugs. He asked what the villains wanted before Trickster began to talk to his father. Atlas tore a phone he was using from his fingers and he demanded it back, saying that the phone was his priority when Trickster asked him about it. <ref name = ":3">"Worm" Web Serial, Colony 15.8</ref>

After Trickster took his sister hostage and looked up, Triumph whipped his head around and saw what Skitter had wrote. He used his power to blast Trickster away from his sister and then lunged forward, kicking the table so that it rammed into Trickster's midsection. He then used his power on Genesis before his family fled. <ref name = ":3">"Worm" Web Serial, Colony 15.8</ref>
