Since the end of the "Starman" (vol. 2) series, the Shade has made cameo appearances in several comic series, including "Green Arrow" and "JSA" and was listed alongside magical-based villains such as Felix Faust and Circe. He also has a brief appearance in DC's "Brave New World" in 2006. During the Infinite Crisis, he is seen using his powers to help Opal citizens by protecting the buildings they are in (though, in a remark full of his trademark cynicism, he comments he is not doing it to save the citizens themselves, but, rather, he is "saving the architecture").
