Justice Issue Guide #12

Post-Series Summary:

After liberating the Forskaen from Judge Mental and his enforcer, Seraph, Justice stayed on as their lawgiver. After all, the Judge seemingly caused the National Security Council's destruction, prompting the government to lose track of him. But then the government had its hands full with the outbreak of World War III, so their critical Justice-related intelligence lapse can readily be forgiven.

Though his life continually turned on a dime after the White Event, Justice remained in the paranormal community of New York well after the end of World War III. When the Star Child deactivated every extant weapon on earth, humanity suddenly found itself disarmed, and reliant on paranormals for its protection - both from its own machinations and those of paranormals who disregarded the law.

Growing comfortable in his role and slowly recovering from the grievous damage Daedalus Darquill inflicted on his mind, Justice eventually adopted a costume reminiscent of his original, Far Side ensemble. His service to New York's paranormals was ultimately interrupted, however, when Nightmask came to him for assistance, raving about an imminent alien invasion from another universe entirely.

When joined by Quasar, a powerful hero from the timeline said invasion was hailing from, Justice joined him and several other paranormals Nightmask had assembled to nip it in the bud. Traveling to their spacecraft, which was by now in orbit over their world, the paranormals arrived just in time for another force intent on the aliens' defeat to show up - and both groups then set upon each other!

Outside the alien craft, the enigmatic Stranger appeared! In addition to maniupulating several heroes from his timeline to assault the vehicle, the Stranger attacked it directly. But this craft was no mere vessel, for it was in fact the immense body of the techno-organic scoundrel known as Skeletron! Unable to stop it, the Stranger watched helplessly as Skeletron began to drain the world of the Star Brand's lingering energies.

In response, the Stranger transported the world from its native universe to the timeline he himself hailed from, In response, Skeletron then seized the Stranger directly, siphoning off most of the lingering power of the Star Brand he, himself, had tricked its current bearer into giving him. Fleeing the scene, the Stranger returned to his laboratory world, which was currently wedged between the two universes.

Following him, Skeletron finished stealing the Star Brand from his cosmic-powered foe, at which point the Stranger's world suddenly snapped back to its original universe, leaving Skeletron abandoned in a timeline lacking an earth. Or any other known beings, save for perhaps one or two who had left earth once the White Event or the Black Event empowered them sufficiently that they were able to do so.

Though the immediate threat was resolved, Justice's world was now lost in another universe entirely, stranded in orbit around the Stranger's laboratory planet. Before the cosmic scientist could experiment on its inhabitants, however, the Living Tribunal sealed it away from the rest of the universe, not wanting the alien power of the Star Brand to further contaminate the timeline it was responsible for.

Thus, the earth remained stranded in orbit around the Stranger's world for some time - at least, until the very end of the multiverse. When reality was reborn as a direct continuation of the previous, Justice's world was presumably returned to the timeline of its origin - or at least a new one matching its previous qualities. This just left the lingering menace of Skeletron to deal with at some point in the future.

Assuming he, too, wasn't returned to his timeline of origin as a result of the multiverse's end and rebirth.

Later, a version of Justice manifested in the far-flung year of 2099 in Skeletron's original timeline, thanks to the machinations of Jordan Boone, a mad scientist. There, he took on a new alias, that of the Net Prophet, and he had multiple encounters with the Spider-Man of that future era. But the question is whether or not this was the original Justice or his counterpart from that timeline, which may never be answered.
