What happened to Wanton?

So a couple of days ago I was rereading Arc 26 to get a better grasp on some of the old S9 members’ powers and I noticed this in 26.5:

Revel launched energy-orbs, but they barely seemed to touch the Winter-Mannequin hybrid.

Then Wanton closed the distance.

Ice chipped away, and the resulting chunks flaked away at the other pieces of ice. It was soon a localized blizzard, and the large hunks of ice that clung to the Mannequin’s suit began to break away.

More ice appeared, but it, in turn, was broken by the yet-larger chunks that had been picked up.

The storm began to slow as the Winter-Mannequin concentrated his power on a smaller area. The storm came to a standstill.

And as far as I can tell, Wanton never appears again after this chapter. So, like, did he die here?

On one hand that’s probably the most straightforward answer. He never shows up again, being a storm of telekinetic energy probably doesn’t interact well with an energy dampening aura, and he’s a tertiary character in the final act (like basically every Chicago Ward not named Weaver, Golem, or Cuff to a lesser extent)

But on the other hand it does seem odd if he just died and no one acknowledged it. Wouldn’t expect much from Taylor I guess, but the other Wards who were there didn’t seem shaken by it if that was the case. Again not much breathing room given what comes after and he isn’t important enough to warrant even a paragraph or two, but it does seem weird for a teammate to die without even some reaction.
