He is a secondary player in the Disney Villains War and a minor player in the Video Game Villains War.
Disney Villains War 2[]
Vs Pete[]
Joining Saix's strike force, Axel is sent to recapture Castle Oblivion from Maleficent and her forces. Ambushing Pete, one of her trusted allies, outside the castle, Axel challenges the thug to a fight to the death, knocking his foe with his telekinetic chakrams after being taunted by the thug. In retaliation, Pete summons the Ice Titan, evening the odds against the pyrokinetic user. Pushing his power to its limits, Axel manages to destroy the Titan at the expense of most of his strength. Drained of power, Axel leaves to recover his strength.
The Battle at the World that Never Was[]
Axel is presented in the final battle of the Organization against Maleficent's forces in the World that Never Was. Charging into the fray, Axel beats Shan Yu into submission, though he is forced down by Maleficent's wave of dark magic. While distracted from Maleficent's departure, Axel is struck by Pete's blow. Weakened by the blow, Axel teleports away from the realm, leaving his fate currently unknown.
Video Game Villains War[]
Vs Barthandelus[]
Axel's superior, Xemnas, forms a partnership with international terrorist and weapons expert, Revolver Ocelot. The two immediately form an antagonistic relationship against the forces of Garland, who previously defeated one of Ocelot's agents. As a result, Xemnas and Ocelot have Axel and one of Ocelot's agents, Fortune, assassinate one of Garland's affiliates, the enigmatic Galenth Dysley. Axel dodges most of Dysley's attacks, but his attempt to kill Dysley with his chakrams fails due to Dysley's shield. Axel and Fortune goad Dysley into transforming into a more powerful form, the monstrous Barthandelus; the immense energy surge actually forces Axel back. After Barthandelus is armed for the assault, Fortune ends up destroying the monster, to Axel's appreciation.
Killing an Old Friend[]
It soon emerges, though, that Fortune has been conducting some activities contrary to Organization 13's interests, making allies with Doctor Cid, an avowed enemy of the Nobodies. Marluxia catches wind of this and realizes that Ocelot and his allies have been two-timing Organization 13. He thus summons Axel and Larxene to help him take out Fortune and Doctor Cid. Axel is perfectly willing to "eliminate the traitor" and helps in the fight. During most of the brawl, he takes on Doctor Cid and his insane arsenal of guns. Axel's chakrams manage to protect him from most of the attacks, but Axel doesn't get the chance to fire any shots. When Marluxia kills Doctor Cid, Axel turns to Fortune and causes explosions all around her, leaving her exposed to a fatal blow from Marluxia.
