In the summer of 1994, DC Comics and Milestone Media published an intercompany crossover called Worlds Collide.

Unlike many intercompany crossovers, it was intended to be part of the regular continuity and took place in the monthly issues of the involved series.

Eventually Bentson loses control of his powers and transforms into Rift, a cosmic being capable of manipulating and reconfiguring matter on a subatomic scale.

Additionally, it becomes apparent that the Cooperative (from which Icon hails) is known to the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians of the Universe, but is exempt from their jurisdiction.

Following the death of Darkseid (as chronicled in Final Crisis), the space-time continuum was torn asunder, threatening the existence of both the Dakotaverse and the mainstream DC universe.
