Jason Jones, now known as The Elemental, works to rebuild his team of superheroes under the tutelage of Harrison Jones and the director of the C.I.A. This new ultimate team consists of the remaining Death Defiers: Gold Man, Wind Waker, and Solar Flare. Next Gen introduces three new superheroes: Shane, who controls a green aura and makes clones of himself; Michael, who manipulates water; and Noah, who bends the ground to his will. They all join forces to overcome pure evil with the return of The Black Knight and his right hand man, The Scientist, as they make one last push to claim Earth 1 as their own.
