James travelled to a middle-reality in the 1940s with the colonel and there met another version of his brother, Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart. He was instrumental in saving Alastair, transporting him to the Inferno Earth where he met their father Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Director of External Security. (PROSE: The Schizoid Earth)
