While in the bowels of LexCorp, Luthor meets up with his security guard Otis, and proceed to the location of subject B-0̸, an experiment to try to clone a purely Kryptonian body, after a first attempt resulted in the test subject becoming a hulking white-skinned monster five years before. Knowing it needs an additional five years to complete the cloning process, Luthor sees no other choice given the current state, and decides to release his subject. Luthor introduces himself to the creature as his master, and tests his control by ordering it to kill Otis. It refuses and is resistant to Otis' gunfire. Otis then attempts to harm Lex Luthor for using him as bait, which triggers the creature to attack and kill Otis. Satisfied, Lex Luthor proceeds to his armor chamber and gives the creature a Superman costume, which it puts on inside out, reversing the shield. At the Justice League Watchtower, the Crime Syndicate argue on how to proceed. Owlman wants an infrastructure in place, like he had in Gotham City on Earth-3, Johnny Quick wants to go have fun on the new world, and Power Ring wants to stay inside. Grid informs Ultraman that there is an uprising in Kahndaq requiring his attention and that the Rogues refuse to join the Crime Syndicate. Ultraman tells Grid to send Deathstorm and Power Ring to take care of the Rogues, and before leaving, checks in on the prisoner they brought with them from Earth-3. Owlman and Superwoman believe he should be killed, but Ultraman keeps him alive, saying they might need him. Owlman then requests that Nightwing stay alive, but Ultraman and The Outsider say he is nothing, knowing he is not the Dick Grayson they knew from Earth-3. After Ultraman leaves, Superwoman, who is having an affair with Owlman, reveals to him that she is pregnant with his child. As a group of Happy Harbor SWAT members attempt to attack the Crime Syndicate, the Teen Titans arrive at the Justice League Watchtower to do the same. When they arrive, they are greeted by Johnny Quick and Atomica. Johnny Quick uses his powers on Kid Flash, which creates a hole in time that pulls the Teen Titans through. Elsewhere at S.T.A.R. Labs, Dr. Silas Stone and Dr. Thomas Morrow remain in the Red Room to protect all of its technology and research. Batman and Catwoman appear, with the critically injured Cyborg. When Dr. Morrow ask Batman where the rest of the Justice League is, Batman merely states that "they didn't make it."
