The paradox created by Prime attacking himself returns him to Earth-Prime. To his dismay, his girlfriend and family have read "Infinite Crisis", "Sinestro Corps War", "Countdown to Final Crisis", and "Legion of 3 Worlds", and are now terrified of him. Prime lives in his parents' basement, who support him out of fear for what he might do to them. He spends his days collecting comic books and trolling the DC Comics message boards, remarking that the DCU will never be rid of him and that he "always survives." Despite the physical depletion of his powers, his eyes begin glowing red again.
