Now an adult, the Star Child comes to realize that Ken Connell, the Old Man and he are all one entity, and that the Star Brand had created itself during the White Event. He removes all traces of the Star Brand from Jacob Burnley and Roger Price, and then merges with Connell and the Old Man to place the merged entity into a never-ending time loop in order to prevent a chaotic disruption of the space/time continuum. However, unknown to the Star Child Burnley had previously given the Star Brand to American fighter pilot, Lt. Bobby Hanrahan, in order to save the pilot's life after his jet crashes.
