The idea here was Barnaby loses control of his powers just like Kotetsu did, but instead of losing power his became explosive- eventually, after frustrating tests yielding no result, in a burst of energy he 'metamorphoses' into the first NEXT Genesis!

Amazed by his increase of power and new glowy side-effects in this next generation of power mutation, Barnaby pushes for Mattia to research and help Kotetsu return to his full power by unlocking a secret: His loss of power was a stuck mutation!

Through extensive experiments and the help of Kotetsu's friends Saito and Ben, Mattia finally makes a breakthrough (unfortunately in his lab causing some collateral damage) bringing Kotetsu back to power stronger than ever starting a new chapter for the hero duo and raising questions on NEXT abilities.
