* BroadStrokes: In keeping with the post-''Comicbook/DarkNightsDeathMetal'' position that everything is canon, sort of, a couple of continuity nods reference pre-Flashpoint history:
** While insisting that nobody else has the right to tell her who she is, Kendra says she even had an ''angel'' try to tell her she was someone else. This references her introduction in ''Comicbook/{{JSA}}'', when Zauriel told her she was actually Shierra (as a walk-in spirit, not a reincarnation).
** When Kat makes a joke about a Green Lantern ring, Kendra says they're more trouble than they're worth, then clarifies that hers wasn't green. This is probably a reference to her being a Black Lantern in ''Comicbook/BlackestNight''.

Then travel back to the present, when their body is now infused with Nth metal, and attempt to use this power to build a portal to the Nth world. This has the useful side effect of turning them into monsters based on their wish, under her control.
