Following the battle, Mitch decides to leave adventures behind for a while so he can pursue a relationship with Kim Rebecki. New 52 Much of the DC Universe has its history changed as a result of the New 52 timeline. In this version of events, Mitch Shelley is born in the late 20th century but has no memories of any past lives and there is no indication he has ever lived past lives. An amnesiac Mitch Shelley wanders America, gaining different powers with each death, encountering the angel Suriel, who targets Mitchell because she insists that his soul is overdue to enter the afterlife.
