Rac Shade, the Changing Man, was the leader of the Secret Seven.
History
This section of the history takes place during Flashpoint, a massive crossover event set in an alternate timeline to the mainstream DCU. History was completely changed when Professor Zoom finally found a way to erase his nemesis the Flash without harming his own legacy.
In an effort to save his mother's life from the Reverse-Flash, Barry Allen unknowingly changes reality, creating a new world in which his friends' lives are drastically different.
In this universe Rac Shade came to Earth to fight insane criminals, but instead, he fell in love and stayed. At some point, his M-Vest mutated allowing him to occupy more than one reality simultaneously. Shade cannot comprehend the illogicality what he's going through; if he were to try, it would disintegrate his mind. Furthermore, the vest is now physically part of Shade.
He is the leader of a band of heroes dubbed the Secret Seven, which includes Enchantress; Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld; Abra Kadabra; Raven; Zatanna and Mindwarp. Shade and the others are recruited by Cyborg as part of an effort to stop an apocalyptic war between the Amazons and the Atlanteans which has devastated Europe.
Shade's subconscious deal with being the leader again and contacts the Change Masters on Meta. Shade is taken back to home and learns the M-Vests' new powers. Enchantress summons Shade to help her contact her latent June Moone persona.
Shade continues attempting to contact the Secret Seven, including Amethyst, who comes to Shade and is killed under mysterious circumstances, and Zatanna and Raven. The team eventually find out that Enchantress was an Amazon spy. Enchantress successfully kills Raven and Zatanna and reveals that she had been the one manipulating the Seven into death. Shade is lost to the Madness Zone inside the vest following the confrontation.
