An alien from the Meta dimension, Shade has escaped to Earth to combat forces of insanity that have accidentally been let loose from his universe. Equipped with a madness vest that allows him to manipulate reality, the Changing Man arrives on his new planet and quickly appropriates the body of a maniacal serial killer to act as a human vessel for his mission. Joined by Kathy George, the 23-year-old daughter of two of his previous ego's victims, Shade begins his task by journeying into America's collective unconscious to conquer the destructive force known as the The American Scream.
