knock Metamorpho around until Metamorpho becomes unconscious. Java then takes Metamorpho's body down to Simon Stagg's lab where he plans to merge him with Chemo. It doesn't go well as Java calls in Simon Stagg's servant Freight Train to help stop it. Freight Train manages to use an electrical wire which causes Chemo to vomit out Metamorpho. Simon Stagg later placed Java's mind into the body of a Shaggy Man which was defeated by Freight Train. In 2011, "The New 52" rebooted the DC universe. Java's history with Simon Stagg and Rex Mason remains the same. Java was present when Simon Stagg had opened a portal to the Dark Multiverse and is trying to close it with Metamorpho who was transmuted to Nth Metal.
