- Director Bones has been examining all the potential players across the Multiverse, the ones who could be responsible for either causing or preventing the next big Crisis. This means experimenting and crossing certain ethicial lines, especially when it comes to rounding up villains traveling from one universe to another. What Bones should never forget, however, is sometimes when you stare into the Multiverse, the Mutliverse looks right back at you.
