They now travel the cosmos as the ambassador of peace, love, and rock and roll (or maybe they’re the embodiment of those concepts, nobody's sure). At one point, they even get pulled outside the Multiverse and travel from universe to universe in order to spread love and grooviness. Additionally, their “Groovitational Pull” is now part of his power set and is how he navigates the stars. Their main contributions to fights they participated in is to just float around and play guitar.
** Nega-Guise, who is just a ''really'' pissed off Argentium who has decided the only way for him to know peace is to kill Guise.
** Finally, Guise has two character sheets, his normal one and his “real” one. While the normal one simply lays out his backstory and powers with minimal interference from the titular character, the “real” one plays him up as the king of a media empire, more specifically, Sentinel Comics itself. It features him arguing with the Editor in text and talking to a very annoyed looking Christopher and Adam in art. It even implies that Creator/JoeZieja, who voices him in the Video Game (both of them), is actually him. Not an alternate version of him, but the actual Guise.
