Remember in the SW6 stories where Tharok shows up and McCauley just says, "Oh, I found in trapped in some sub-dimension or other" and voila!, we've got Tharok back to use. It didn't take that much explanation, but in those days they would never have just had Tharok show up without some brief explanation of how he's there. One or two lines of dialogue can usually accomplish this kind of thing, in the hands of a good writer.

quote: Superboy-Prime (looking at Mano and Persuader with Caress and Flare in the background) - "Wait! Where's the rest of the Fatal Five?!?"
Persuader - "Dead!"
Superboy-Prime - "Oh yeah! Try this!" (Grabs the Atomic Axe and slices open a portal to Earth-Prime from which the B&B Fatal Five emerge.)
Superboy-Prime - "Now this is a FATAL Five!"
During the course of the story, Mano Y Mano become partners (until one of them kills the other?) and the Johnsboot Persuader slices time and space again to shove the Prime Persuader into Earth's past (thus explaining the 20th Century Persuader) to ensure he's the only one.
I LIKE it!

That reminds me of the fatally bad storyline ending the Reboot though. Fatal Five hundred (or thousand or whatever). The Persuaders axe seems to come pretty close to the Miracle Machine in some writers minds. Not in mine, though. I feel that stories in which the space time continuum is manipulated by a kind of miracle blade are not worth reading...

The point was to use established continuity (regardless of how bad the science is [that was the story referenced above, written by Johns & Waid]) to fix some of the holes that Johns ran through the Johnsboot with.
It's the easiest solution to the Garridan/Validus & Emerald Empress died, but look here she is mess.
