 The plot was discovered and Richards was cured  before the second round of Amalgam Comics were released, allowing him to lead the Challengers of the Fantastic against Galactiac.An alternate Donovan appears in the Elseworlds story "The Superman Monster", a "Frankenstein" pastiche.In this story he is, ironically, part of the University board that decries Viktor Luthor's experiments as blasphemous and unholy (the other members of the board are Cadmus Director Westfield and Professor Hamilton).
