At some point in the future, Ares steals the dead body of Wonder Woman. He comes back through time and manipulates Barbara Minerva and T. O. Morrow to gather a team of scientists to collect soil samples from sites of genocide - Auschwitz, Jasenovac, Darfur, Rwanda, and Cambodia. The scientists, with the help of Felix Faust, use the soil to empower the corpse of Wonder Woman with evil energy, creating Genocide. Morrow believes that Genocide is too unstable to be let loose and begs Minerva to terminate the project, but is ignored.
