As a result, she became Sister Symmetry where she joined her kind as they set about their plans for the removal of magic from the mortal world. They were present on the other dimensional world of Myrra that was being used as a place of shelter by the Justice League Dark who had fled from the Upside-Down Man and the Otherkind.

She was in London when Batman arrived in the city in search for her. At first, Xanadu attacked him with magic as she believed he was an attacker.

Despite her aid, the heroes were overwhelmed by the Kryptonian A.I.'s Daxamite army thus forcing Madame Xanadu to flee with the Justice League. (Justice League v4 #41)
