Characters

Multi-Man II; Ice; Guy Gardner; DMV clerks; Kilowog; Fire; Multi-Woman III; Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Red Ryan; various supervillains

Synopsis

Multi-Man reads his obituary. It says he died heroically saving the Challengers, so he demands a retraction. Needing valid ID, he goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a driver's license. He sabotages the computers so Guy Gardner attacks. Multi-Man’s head falls off: he’s a robot. Kilowog finds that Multi-Man II was created when Duncan Pramble (the original Multi-Man) lost his powers. The robot thought he was the real Multi-Man. Ice thinks he’s lonely so he is rebuilt with a Multi-Woman as companion. Multi-Man II and Multi-Woman III drive off. The Challengers read about it in the paper.

Indexer Notes

Multi-Man in a epilogue to the miniseries. In a forward, Jeph Loeb explains this original story is an epilogue to the Challengers of the Unknown miniseries of 1991. It was slated for Justice League Quarterly, but that was canceled. So this is the first publication.
