Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
Cyborg's body was rebuilt by Russian scientists after he was blown up by the Wildebeest Society, but his memory was gone, and he responded only to programmed instructions. S.T.A.R. Labs, Dr. Sarah Charles, and Red Star attempted to restore Cyborg's mind. Red Star was ostensibly there to protect the Russian tech needed to rebuild Cyborg, but he secretly wated to be there for his friend. Cyborg's body responded to the Labs probes, and went into combat mode. Red Star tried to stop his friend, but was subdued, and Cyborg left for the Adirondack mountains to enter his father's upstate cabin. Silas was worried about hat would happen if his son's mind died but his armor survived, and had his feelings and memories transmitted to a computer in the cabin that backed them up. The computer activated when Cyborg went brain dead, and it hooked itself up to Cyborg, attempting to restore his humanity. Red Star had followed his friend, followed closely by Sarah, and they were overjoyed to see him once again in his right mind. The joy was short lived, their arrived triggered a self-destruct sequence in Silas' cabin, which also uploaded a virus into Cyborg's mind. Silas feared his work falling into the wrong hands, but his actions had doomed his son, whose mind was once again lost. Red Star refused to accept that his friend was gone, but Sarah told him that Cyborg was now little more than a mindless machine. (Showcase '93 v1 #2)
The governor of Georgia called in some favors in Washington to get Red Star and the New Titans to reunite and come to his state to deal with an outbreak of superhuman violence. The Titans interrupted a battle between Damage and Steelhawk and told Damage they were there to stop his rampage across Georgia. They didn’t realize he was new to his destructive powers and had been forced to use them to defend himself against supervillains. They didn’t realize he was new to his destructive powers and had been forced to use them to defend himself against supervillains. Iron Munro convinced them he was a hero and they all turned their attention to Steelhawk. The fight ended when Munro, Damage and Steelhawk were caught in a temporal distortion field caused by Zero Hour and sent into the past. The Titans still functioned poorly as a team, and decided to stay disbanded. (Damage v1 #5)
An army of Earth's heroes, including Red Star, who had responded to the Teen Titans emergency signal, appeared to take Superboy-Prime down during the Sinestro Corps invasion of Earth. The heroes focused on wrecking his armor, because after a year on Oa, and away from a yellow sun his Kryptonian body still was not at full strength, and his armor collected sunlight. Superboy bragged that once the sun rose on Earth he would be at full power. Red Star tried his hardest to beat Superboy, still infuriated by the loss of his family at Superboy’s hands, but his best was not good enough. Superboy was battered by Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman, who blamed him for Superboy's death, as well as Supergirl and Power Girl, who blamed him for the death of the Superman of Earth-2. As the fight went against him, Superboy broke down in tears. He tried to wipe them away, saying that it was impossible for boys to cry, and then whining that no one ever thanked him for sacrificing his Earth to save the multiverse. The battle lasted until dawn, and he flew into the sunrise. As he achieved full power he declared himself the one, true Superman. The Guardians arrived with Sodam Yat, the new Ion, and pitted him against Superboy-Prime. (Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime v1 #1)
