When Aquaman and Wyynde inquired as to the whereabouts of their missing friends, Goode offered to take the Atlanteans to see them, and ordered Overlord to do so. After they successfully retrieved their quarry, she ordered Overlord to bring them back to the mansion.

Unwilling to let the heroes leave with Dreamer's Motherbox, she ordered Overlord to kill it. He proceeded to unveil a cannon from wall and blasted Motherbox.

Goode was about to order Overlord to strand Aquaman, Wyynde, Dick, Jeff, Garfield Logan, Violet, Brion Markov, and Victor Stone in the X-Pit, but was cut off mid-sentence by Oracle, who sent a missile from a Bat-drone inside her apartment.

After all the heroes had left, Goode opened the box containing Overlord, telling it that everything would be all right.[2]
