It was a big cliffhanger in the middle of a story arc where Ace found out that the government had made a bunch of clones of her.  After the series was cancelled, the writer for it quit the company in protest and leaked the details for the rest of the storyline over the internet, and out of spite one of the editors for Captain Paragon decided that he would resolve the story differently, by having Captain Paragon show up in his next monthly issue and burn everything to death with his laser eyes.<br/><br/>Fortunately, a later writer retconned it so that the Captain had merely burned the top-secret government lab down, and that all the Ace clones had been turned over to the multi-dimensional Council of Alternate Paragons to be raised in safety.  A few of the clones have even shown up in more recent issues to ask for Ace's help with some of their own superheroic adventures.
