Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #36 is a chapter in the digital-first series Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse (Volume 1 (Digital)) with a cover date of February, 2015.
Synopsis for "Chapter Thirty Six"
Hawkgirl of Earth-19 busts in through the window of Lex Luthor's headquarters after spotting her world's Catwoman, Batman of Earth-0 and Robin of Earth-43 fighting each other. Vandal Savage mocks her for being late and uses the suggestion device on her, but the Nth Metal armor allows Shayera to resist its effect. She destroys the device after hitting Savage, bringing the heroes back to their senses. Savage soon gets back up and attacks Hawkgirl, but finds himself being pummelled by Catwoman, Robin and Batman. He orders Lex to activate the control device, but finds that the destruction of the suggestion device has freed him too.
Luthor tells the others how they were so quick to distrust him and see him as a partner of Savage. He also states his inventions, made from knowledge he stole from other universes, were unwise despite his good intentions. Pleading his innocence, Luthor states that Savage used him as a mind-controlled puppet. As the others grow uneasy about his real motives, he switches all the Earth Engines off and tells them they can safely destroy them. The Monitor soon arrives and states he will be imprisoning Savage himself, as he is a great danger to the multiverse. Later on Nil, Superman of Earth-0 marvels at the world and Green Lantern of Eath-13 states that its technologies are a wonder to behold.
The Monitor soon arrives before the heroes on Nil and Wonder Woman of Earth-17 informs him that they have destroyed all the Earth Engines. He praises the news and states Savage didn't admit to working for anyone, but seems to have been working alone. Regardless, he will remain imprisoned on Nil. Inside his prison however, Savage smiles, revealing he has a plan up his sleeve. As Superman asks the Monitor what comes next, the latter states that they need to prepare for further waves of the Infinite Crisis and Wonder Woman suggests that they recruit more allies. Hal agrees and states they need to do it quick, with Superman suggesting that also seek help of those they normally wouldn't.
On Earth-19, Lex asks Batman whether he would have him monitored more tightly. Batman denies it and states he will instead choose to trust him. Batman admits no one in the multiverse he has met ever said good things about the Luthors of their universe, but he recognizes that he's not only dangerous, but also aspires for the greater good of his world. Luthor then asks what will they do when the crisis strikes again, and Batman hands him an orb from the Monitor, telling him to call others when it happens. Hawkgirl and Aquaman then come in with all his stolen designs, making him burn them. Aquaman assures he'll invent more technologies for the good of the world, while Shayera suggests they talk about a genuine global unity later. Batman states it's a good idea and takes his leave.
