History[]
2010[]

The Forever people arrived on Earth to track down the New Genesphere.[1]
|
They found the New Genesphere off the coast, and Superboy with it. They decided to work together to retrieve other stolen technology, and headed back to Metropolis to find it. Moonrider charged headfirst in battle against Intergang, but was taken out by their New God technology. After Superboy saved him, they took down Intergang by merging into Infinity-Man.[1]
2018[]

The Forever People investigated an attack on bugs supposedly carried out by Orion, even though he was off-world at the time.[2]
2020[]
|
Moonrider and the rest of the Forever People joined a meeting held by Metron to discuss the threat of Lor-Zod and the Phantom Zone Projector. Metron determined there were two possible power sources for the Projector on the surface of New Genesis. The Forever People formed Infinity-Man and went with Metron and Kilowog to one site.
This turned out not to be the site used by Lor-Zod. The group boom tubed to Boiling Lake Crater where Lor-Zod had been found, but by the time they arrived, the battle was over; the Projector was destroyed, Lor escaped and Tomar-Re was dead.[3]
