Jade and Obsidian bring Mr. Bones to Stellar Studios where Solomon Grundy has been waiting for Jade to return. Grundy reflects on his own past. Cyrus Gold was killed in Slaughter Swamp and eventually was reborn as the undead Solomon Grundy. He becomes a criminal and is beaten by Green Lantern. Grundy develops a hatred for GL that lasts for years. Eventually Jade rescued him from a glacier. Despite the fact that Jade is Lantern's daughter, Grundy likes her and will do anything to protect her.
