As the heroes and their alter egos drift further apart, a horrific version of Metamorpho comes to life to reunite with his son Joey Stagg. While trying to protect the Stagg family, the JLA encounter The Cathexis who inform them that a sentient energy from their dimension called ID is loose in the JLA's dimension and has granted Joey's wish for his father's return. Once Joey wishes his father away, The Cathexis suggest that not only is ID responsible for many of the strange occurrences around the globe but that it is also responsible for separating their private selves from their hero selves.
