The spirits of six of the Seven (including Vakume, but not Gazelle) later allied themselves with a creature named Samhain and confronted the Scarlet Witch again, but were defeated, and the Witch bound Samhain's spirit within those of the Seven. Salem's Seven, including Vakume, were later resurrected by the Scarlet Witch following her mental breakdown, and were once again used by Nicholas Scratch, this time to release the demon Shuma Gorath. The Seven turned on Scratch and assisted the Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange in defeating the demon.
