He appears to still have feelings for Wonder Girl, as he claims "I hate Wonder Girl." Following that, in Teen Titans # 44, Wonder Girl wakes up in what seems to be a replica of the Fortress of Solitude in Slade's Titans Tower in New York. Match's first appearance in Teen Titans #43 shows that both his mind and body have begun to rot away, making him behave more like a normal Bizarro clone, even going so far as to speak in contradictions. Deathstroke is counting on Match's resemblance to Superboy, enhanced by changing his costume to match Superboy's last costume, to unbalance Robin, Superboy's best friend and the Titans' leader, and Wonder Girl, Superboy's girlfriend and the Titans' most powerful member. Though he is a powerful physical asset to the team, Match's presence is more of a psychological ploy, due to Superboy's death during the Infinite Crisis event.
The criminal mercenary Deathstroke has begun forming Titans East, a team created explicitly to take down the Teen Titans. Match left however after accidentally making Wonder Girl confess her love for Superboy, causing Match to develop feelings for her as well. While the Jokerized Match was unable to keep his plans secret from the girls, they simply believed he was Superboy pretending to be a Jokerized Match to try and lighten the mood after Robin and Impulse both quit earlier that day. While Superboy was away, Match was at Young Justice headquarters with Empress, Secret, Arrowette, and Wonder Girl in the hopes of killing them in a comical manner. Eventually, Superboy freed himself and joined the fight against Match and the Agenda to free Cadmus.ĭuring Joker's Last Laugh, after being poisoned with Joker venom, Match returned to infiltrate and terrorize Young Justice disguised to look like Superboy. At this time, Project Cadmus was also infiltrated by several clones loyal to the Agenda. When the Agenda kidnapped Superboy, Match took his place in Young Justice. Some time later, the Agenda kidnapped Superboy again and took over Project Cadmus.
In the resulting battle between the two clones, Superboy managed to come out on top and the reactor holding the Agenda's compound together exploded, destroying the base. In fact, it is believed that the host of data he was given helped him hone his powers. He also had improved strength and durability as well as greater control over his powers.
Match was given implanted memories, like Superboy, but they included a whole host of information that Superboy did not have. Agent Amanda Spence was able to kidnap Superboy and the Agenda used his DNA to create the clone Match. Created using Superboy's DNA, Match was made to serve "the Agenda", a secret organization specializing in creating clone armies.
