In Week 39, While staking out the laboratory of Dr. Laughlin they are almost discovered. Laughlin blows himself, and his entire lab, sky high and Starlight and Skyman would have been discovered by the evil Ms. Graves were it not for Jake's powers of flight.

Demise of Skyman

After they escape, Skyman tells Starlight that he needs to show her something that will "explain a lot," and indeed it does. Skyman leads her into an operating room, where the dead body of Jacob Colby has been cut up. Missing an arm and both legs, it is a gruesome sight. It turns out that Everyman had killed Skyman and had been eating his flesh in order to morph into his form. Everyman had developed a taste for Skyman that just couldn't be sated, and used it to spy on Starlight.
