As the chaos of the old multiverse being restored continues, Alex decides he wants to create the 'perfect' Earth, one without a Superman, merging various earths in the process, and as failures, destroying them as well. The heroes stop him, but at a cost, as Superboy destroys the tower that was allowing for the earths to appear while battling vs. Superboy-Prime, freeing the captured heroes and villain to join in the fight. The magical heroes also fail to summon the Spectre to aid them, given he has no human host to appeal to.
