The completion of the Cerebro Amplifier required not only Professor X's assistance but also the expertise of Beast, Hank McCoy, the device's inventor.

As the primary creator of the amplifier, Hank's contribution was indispensable.

With Tek unable to complete the device alone, Roger had to return to the X-Mansion to bring Hank back.

Thankfully, with the worlds now interconnected, traveling between them wasn't too complicated, saving a significant amount of time.

Once Hank and Charles were involved, the Cerebro Amplifier was completed, and no one in The Boys' universe could escape Charles' mental abilities.

With that, Vought International was utterly dismantled—not only the corporation itself but also the politicians and other capitalists secretly supporting it to evade justice.

Since Roger had decided to clean up the "trash" in this world, he ensured a thorough job, eradicating all hidden forces that could potentially cause harm.

This gave Roger a sense of relief.

Though it sounded simple, it took several days from the time Charles identified the targets until the superheroes led by Roger had completely dealt with Vought.

...

Realizing that the plot in the DC universe might have progressed significantly, Roger decided it was time to return and check on the situation.

After sending Professor X and Hank back, Roger gathered his team members: Jean Grey, Thor, and Clarice (Blink).

"Let me clarify again," Roger said to Clarice before departure, his tone serious. "The entity we're about to face might not be much weaker than I am. Are you sure you still want to come along?"

To instill some fear, Roger deliberately exaggerated Steppenwolf's strength to be on par with his own, hoping it would scare Clarice off.

However, this tactic only seemed to fuel her determination.

With a resolute tone, Clarice replied, "I'm coming! My ability can be very useful, and you've already agreed to that!"

"Yes, I did agree..." Roger sighed.

"Then you can't go back on your word!" Clarice said confidently.

Her ability had exceeded Roger's expectations in usefulness, so he decided to let her tag along. However, her young age still made Roger uneasy.

Even his surrogate son, Ryan, wasn't allowed to come along to "train" in the DC universe—let alone Clarice, who was only slightly older than Ryan.

Still, her teleportation power could prove critical in certain situations. With no better options, Roger reluctantly allowed her to join.

"Alright, let's get moving," he finally said, giving up on further arguments.

Before opening the portal to the DC universe, Jean looked around and asked, "Is it just us? What about Nebula? And Winter Soldier?"

"Nebula's not necessary for this mission, and as for Winter Soldier... he refused to join us. So it's just the four of us."

Roger was surprised that persuading Winter Soldier was harder than convincing Thor. No matter what Roger said, Bucky Barnes insisted on staying out of it, preferring a quiet life in this world.

Unlike Thor, who indulged in escapism, Winter Soldier genuinely found a life he was content with in The Boys' universe.

As for Nebula, Roger reasoned that her primary role in the team was as a "driver," piloting spaceships in cosmic battles. With this mission taking place on Earth, Nebula's expertise wasn't as critical.
