Synopsis for "Good Omens (Part 5): The Mysterious Fan Boy!"
Guy was talking to Spike in a restroom stall, contemplating allowing Arnie onto their team as Doop emitted a signal that blocked out their newest member's radar. Arnie was given a costume and a mask in order to conceal his true identity, as well as the codename "Mysterious Fan Boy." As Anarchist and Phat fought, Guy insisted to Arnie that they were not actually fighting and that they did that to keep themselves "razor sharp." Then, Guy showed Arnie their fans and the newcomer believed that their fans loved them although Myles insisted that their "fans" hated them, put them on a pedastool so that they would not have to live alongside each other, and were waiting for them to fall off and crack their heads. Then, Arnie claimed that being part of X-Statix was starting to be a big disappointment. In order to stop Arnie from killing them all, he suggested that they all go to lunch.
Later, Guy, Tike, Billy Bob, Myles, Venus, Dead Girl, and Doop went to a bathroom stall and contemplated what to do about Arnie with Guy insisting that they all act like a team. At lunch, Lacuna approached their table and offered to have "Mysterious Fan Boy" on her show "Lacuna and The Stars" but when she revealed her plan to have him reveal his true identity, Guy intervened and had Venus teleport them away. After two hours, Lacuna waited outside of the X-Statix HQ and followed Spike inside before sneaking up on the team and unmasking "Mysterious Fan Boy", learning that he was really Arnie.
Later, the knowledge of X-Statix admitting Arnie caused backlash. However, Anarchist told Arnie that they did not want him to quit while Guy confronted Lacuna and demanded her help. Since Razorhead had escaped from his high-security prison in Louisiana, X-Statix went to the swamps to confront him. Razorhead knocked down Tike, Dead Girl, and Myles and was prepared to kill Guy before Arnie used his powers to seemingly kill the escaped prisoner before the newcomer died of a heart attack shortly after.
While X-Statix was watching news coverage of Arnie's death, Tike believed that the past few days around him had made them put aside their hostilities and when he suggested that the world could be a better place if they continued doing so, Myles, Billy Bob, Venus, and Dead Girl decided against doing so. Guy visited Arnie's casket and told his mother that he would not attend the funeral due to the possibility of drawing media attention and she told him she should have warned him that her son had a bad heart. Later, on the beach, Guy and Lacuna argued about who was responsible for Arnie's death, ending with the former revealing that he was quitting X-Statix.
