The new take on Bliss acts as a two way psychic connector between The Brain and citywide swath of drug takers to expand his mental capacity to godlike degrees.
History
New Earth
The latest craze for the fast trending junky highs of the criminal underworld, Bliss is a powerful habit forming analgesic created from the reprocessed hormone secretions of kidnapped pre-adolescents and sold across every third world country through the black market. It is manufactured in a self-perpetuating facility owned by the drug lord Elijah. Whose facilities are fueled, as well as protected, by meta powered super criminals known simply as the Dominators.[1]
The effects of the hallucinatory inducer are potent enough to hobble even the divinely empowered Osiris. Causing him to see visions of his de-petrified sister who had a growing canker stretching up her arm which corrupted her form.[2] The production of the opiate was permanently stymied by the introduction of Deathstroke the Terminator's iteration of the Titans while under contract to rescue a wealthy businessman's missing son whom Elijah's cartel had made off with. Slade hadCheshire deliver it through her claws into her former lover Arsenal to keep him under his thrall.
Prime Earth
In renewed firmamental placation, Mallah and The Brain contemplated a means of helping the leader of the Brotherhood to transcend his physical limitations via a god state level acumen increase.[3]
To that end they would take to fabricating a redesign of the Bliss soporific for the purpose of using the intake high of thousands upon thousands of unsuspecting users to act as a kind of psychic cloud space through which Brain could grow and expand his consciousness.[4] To that end, Mallah would synthesize an all new chemical fix and begin selling it across every major drug vendor in Manhattan. To better sell their grand design however; it was necessary to leak the original product to pre-established business opposition.
To that end, the Brotherhood of Evil purposely allowed their rival pushers at Intergang to make off with their product so they could push their own knockoff further along beyond the streets of New York.[5] And when the timing was right, they would hire out the mercenary Cheshire to steal it back.
The Brain began flexing his newfound intellectual faculties using the Bliss addled recipients to broaden his horizons: creating incredibly advanced tech dampening and cloaking algorithms, changing weather patterns, solving the unsolvable equations as old as human history and bending the very pillars of totality.[6] He would draw the attentions of the Titans whilst the League was otherwise occupied dealing with the havoc caused through his ascending mindscape. His rise to Hyper-Genius state would be halted indefinitely by the younger generation heroes with help from Monsieur Mallah, who realized at the last minute the cost of hyper intelligence.

Notes
- In New Earth continuity, the Bliss could only be manufactured using the hormone secretions of kids. Elijah mentioning the brief window between childhood and adulthood was the only real opportunity in which said dope could be properly refined for its manufacturing. As it requires the physiological productions fresh from able young bodies to properly function.
Trivia
- Bliss is called such due to its primary seller stating you find happiness over the rainbow.
