Following the [[Avengers Vs. X-Men|war with the Phoenix Five]], as Cyclops begins to lash out against government oppression of mutants, a chance comment by Bobby about how the old Cyclops wouldn't tolerate what he is currently doing inspires Beast to travel back in time and recruit [[Uncanny X-Men#1963–1970: Original run|the original five X-Men]] to stop Cyclops.<ref>''All-New X-Men'' #1</ref> The team decides to stay in the present instead of returning into the past.<ref>''All-New X-Men'' #4</ref> They are now called the [[All-New X-Men]] and led by [[Kitty Pryde]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=June 2016}} The past and present Bobby are particularly shocked when they see each other.

Bobby joins the time-displaced Cyclops, Angel and Beast, as well as [[Kid Apocalypse]], [[All-New Wolverine]] and [[Oya (comics)|Oya]] as they road-trip around America trying to make their own mark on the world. Bobby is initially reluctant to talk about his sexuality with his teammates until Oya and Kid Apocalypse take him to a gay club in an attempt to make him more comfortable. He embarrasses himself and runs into Romeo, an Inhuman with the ability to manipulate and feel others' emotions. Romeo makes Bobby more comfortable and the two begin a relationship.<ref>''All-New X-Men'' vol. 2 #13</ref> The two are later caught in the middle when [[Inhumans vs. X-Men|the X-Men declare war on the Inhumans]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=May 2019}} Bobby joins the X-Men when they attack New Attilan but quickly breaks off from the battle to find Romeo, with the two escaping together.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=May 2019}}

====X-Men Blue====
{{Main|X-Men Blue}}
After the [[Inhumans vs. X-Men|X-Men's war against the Inhumans for the Terrigen]] ends, Iceman joins the rest of the young X-Men on an attempted return to their original timeline but they quickly realize that theirs isn't part of the [[Earth 616]] timeline, leaving them stuck in that present time with no knowledge where they were originally from.<ref>''All-New X-Men'' vol. 3 #19</ref> Upon learning this, Iceman joins the rest of the young X-Men and leaves the rest of the X-Men to find their place in the world.<ref>''X-Men: Prime'' #1</ref> Iceman then joins Magneto in [[Madripoor]] along with the rest of the time-displaced X-Men; however, due to a lack of trust in their new leader, the X-Men make plans and train in case Magneto returns to his former villainous ways to kill them. Instead of training with his teammates, Iceman spends most of his time trying to reach out Romeo unsuccessfully, placing him into a stupor.<ref>''X-Men: Blue'' #2</ref>

The time-displaced X-Men continue fighting crime in the present day although following a battle with the [[Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]] from an alternate timeline, they are disheartened to realize that they must eventually return to their original time. This particularly upsets Bobby who is sad that all of their growth as people will be undone once they go back. While the team are in space working alongside [[Venom (Marvel Comics character)|Venom]] to defeat the Poisons, a race of mind-controlling [[Symbiote (comics)|symbiotes]], Magneto attacks several [[Hellfire Club (comics)|Hellfire Club]] parties searching for [[Emma Frost]]. The X-Men find her first and offer to protect her from Magneto although they quickly discover that he had taken mutant growth hormones to enhance his powers and, rather than kill the team he has mentored, Magneto leaves. Young Jean senses that they must return to their own time period soon and the X-Men have heart-to-hearts with their adult selves. During a game of pool with older Iceman, Bobby breaks down, knowing that his memory of the present must be erased and he will be forced back into the closet and, despite Iceman's best efforts to convince his younger self that he will grow up to be someone awesome, Bobby admits that he likes the person he has already become but that remaining that person is no longer an option. As the team prepare to leave, a news report announces that Magneto has formed a new brotherhood, leading the X-Men to decide to stay in the present for a little while longer.<ref>''X-Men Blue'' #29-36</ref>

====Extermination====
{{Main|Extermination (comics)}}

While en route to help young Cyclops, Bobby is attacked by a mysterious assailant but is rescued by [[Cable (comics)|Cable]], who urges him to flee. Iceman refuses but is incapacitated and captured while Cable is killed. Young Jean attempts to use [[Cerebro]] to locate Bobby but states that she is unable to find him. In a secret lab, the man who attacked Bobby is revealed to be a [[Cable (comics)#Nathan Summers (time-displaced version)|time-displaced version of Cable]] who has him locked up in a tube.<ref>''Extermination'' #1</ref> Kitty gathers all of the X-Men, who split into four teams tasked with protecting one of the remaining time-displaced X-Men. Young Jean uses her telepathy to guide her team to young Cable's base, where he admits to murdering his older self because he had failed in his mission to maintain the timeline by allowing the young X-Men to stay in the present for so long. They discover that Cable has been genetically modifying young Iceman so that he looks the way he looked when he left his original time period. He releases Bobby and teleports them all to [[Atlantis (Marvel Comics)|Atlantis]], where [[Ahab (comics)|Ahab]] is attempting to kill young Cyclops so that the timeline can never be restored. The X-Men find themselves overwhelmed by Ahab's forces and Cable convinces the young X-Men that they must return home immediately in order to save the others. Young Iceman breaks down to his older self, admitting he doesn't want to be forced back into the closet but the present day Bobby tells him that his younger self finally allowed him to accept that he was gay and promises that he will be finally be able to truly be himself when he grows up. Cable then sends the X-Men back to their original time, informing them that everything will return to normal once they officially close the time loop. In 1964, the young X-Men change into their original clothes and young Jean performs a mind wipe so that they won't remember their time in the present day although she informs them that she is able to lock their memories away so that, once the loop is closed, their older selves will regain those memories. Back in modern day, the founding X-Men inherit the memories of their younger selves allowing them to defeat Ahab. Returned to their original time, the young X-Men forget about their adventures in the present and are greeted by Professor Xavier.<ref>''Extermination'' #2-5</ref>
