- Main article: Impossible Schemes, Hell Yeah!
Rebecca is revealed to have been living in the apartment in the 80's ever since Glider tricked her, where she was seen doing aerobics while watching tv, where she encountered Goldilocks, who recognize her as "Princess Rebecca" from Bane's stories. After a few hours of talking, she learns about the Anti-Life Equation and came up with a plan, which involved an ad for a dark choir member for Darksied.
During the battle between Golden Glider and Darkseid, it was revealed that Rebecca took the position and told Golden Glider she time traveled for her and Rebecca snatched the Anti-Life Equation and leapt into Fable's fairytale book, where Gus (who is revealed to be Martain Manhunter) took the book and flew into space.
During the aftermath where Kite Man and Glider think she did it because she loved Glider, in reality Rebecca obtains the Anti-Life Equation and used it to not only dominate Fairytale land and turned it into an apocalyptic wasteland but also turned the citizens into decaying Zombie-like minions. She strips Evil Fairy Godmother of her dress with matching tiara as she commands her army to prepare for world domination.
Personality[]
Rebecca is a very selfish person, being more than willing to leave her children all alone after her husband's death without a second thought. She cares nothing for her daughter, as when the two were reunited, Rebecca was less than thrilled to see Golden Glider. Rebecca is also incredibly ungrateful as well as spiteful and cruel as seen when even after Glider, Kite Man and Bane rescued her from the pit, she still continued to treat her daughter very poorly and she simply told Kite Man to get her a drink while intentionally making him feel insecure about his lack of powers. In the end, Rebecca is a rude, unsympathetic, and conceited woman with no allegiance other than herself.
