	NEW YORK (AP):  In a shocking press conference today, Monarch  
and a spokesperson representing the so-called "X-Judas" announced  
that they had decided to work together for the common purpose of  
wiping out all other metahumans in both the DC and Marvel Universes.

	When asked why the decision, Monarch replied, "After that...  
fiasco regarding my identity, I decided that it was in my best  
interests to protect myself by associating with others of my own  
kind."

	The spokesman for the X-Judas added, "My employer identifies  
with Monarch's plight.  Seeing as a similar identity dispute has  
arisen as regards my employer, it was decided that cooparating in  
such a fasion would be a very good idea.  Besides, word was that the  
market was ready for a crossover..."

	No word was given on whether thw two would cooperate in their  
activities against their respective adversaries.  Also, both denied  
any involvement in the sudden retirement of one Jayembee, noted  
commentator on metahuman affairs in both universes.  "I categorically  
deny that I had anything to do with it," avowed Monarch.  "My only  
regret was that his observations as to my fate had been the basis of  
reality..."

	The Justice League, Doom Patrol, X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force,  
L.E.G.I.O.N., United Nations, President Bush, and Suicide Squid were  
unavailable for comment.  Jerry Brown was ignored.
