He and his variants work in the school’s laboratory to concoct cures for the other universe-displaced before leaving, while Leeds and Jones remain with the mystical Macchina de Kadavus. Leeds uses a Sling Ring to open an inter-dimensional portal, which accidentally allows the universe-displaced Lizard to come through and attack them in the school.
