Mr. Bones is shown to be acting as the D.E.O.'s director and tasks agent Cameron Chase with capturing Batwoman. Bones now believes himself to be Col. Jacob Kane's illegitimate son. He captures Beth Kane, sister of Batwoman, and blackmails Batwoman into agreeing to uncover Batman secret identity. Batwoman, Col. Kane's "Murder of Crows" elite paramilitary group, and the heroine Hawkfire fail to rescue Beth. Agent Asaf, compromised by Hawkfire, shoots Bones in the head after he threatens to kill Beth rather than hand her over. Asaf later says Bones was mentally unbalanced, and is not Jacob Kane's son. Infinite Frontier In the pages of "Infinite Frontier", Mister Bones is talking to Cameron Chase about the recent events that have transpired since the events of "Dark Nights: Death Metal" that revealed the Multiverse to everyone. While on Earth Omega, Mister Bones was revealed to have shot down Cameron Chase ship and says that he made a deal with Darkseid to spare their Earth in exchange for others. Jade knocks down Mister Bones. After Darkseid has teleported all the heroes off of Earth Omega and back to their respectful Earths, Mister Bones was mentioned to have gotten away upon being returned to Prime-Earth. Powers and abilities Bones' mother's exposure to mutagenic drugs during pregnancy gave him three superhuman powers, two of which are extremely inconvenient to his daily life: superhuman strength; transparent skin, flesh, and organs that give him a skeleton-like appearance, and toxic, cyanide-like sweat. Other versions Mister Bones is featured in the Smallville Season 11 digital comic based on the TV series. During World War II, the man who would become Mister Bones was a member of, and presumably the leader of, a government task force codenamed "ShadowPact", created to counter the Axis Thule Society.
