On February 1, 2023, Mercer was freed by Red Death and given a series of advanced boomerangs. With a powerful arsenal, Mercer attempted to steal the Roemer Accelerator fuel source from a Kord Industries convoy. His robbery alerted The Flash, who arrived and mistakenly threw a lightning bolt at the accelerator, starting a chain of time loops.[1]

In the time loops, Mercer's robbery attempts ultimately led to countless explosions due to The Flash's Speed Force lightning interacting with the core. Thankfully, The Flash and Iris West-Allen came up with a plan to prevent the tampering of the core, though they were surprised when Mercer had a backup detonator for the accelerator. The Flash was able to phase the entire city from the nuclear blast, while Mercer escaped from the scene.[1]
Returning to Red Death's lair, Mercer demanded that he require more boomerangs, and was subsequently given a crate of said boomerangs.[1] Mercer continued to work with Red Death, later aiding Andrea Wozzeck in her attempt to retrieve Hartley Rathaway's Sonic Gauntlets and restoring Red Death to a stabilized body.[2]
