Rac Shade (Post-Flashpoint)

==Summary==
A poet from the world named Meta, Rac Shade wielded great power through the M-Vest, a failed Metan attempt at creating a weapon. Shade helped protect the world from supernatural threats as part of the original formation of the Justice League Dark, but while battling Cain, his mental state deteriorated to such a point that he took refuge in the M-Vest's own dimension, where he remained for years, until a new wielder of the M-Vest named Loma Shade surfaced.
While Rac initially seemed to welcome Loma as a friend, she later discovered him to have gone completely insane from his stay in the Madness dimension, finding the skins of various women he killed. The two fought, and Loma managed to overpower him, and absorb his power to save Earth.
