The 'Netherworld' is not an alternate dimension, but another plane. There is a subtile difference.
It's like this:
Many think of dimensions like planets in some great solar system. This is incorrect. Dimensions are like solar systems in a massive universe known as the 'multiverse'.
Within every dimension there is a universe. However, there is more than just that universe, there are also the planes.
Some dimensions only have a few planes of existence, others have many. Alternate planes are often as a twisted mirror of the 'alpha plane', which is the plane that most who read this will know as home.
The 'Netherworld', is also at times called the 'Shadow Plane', or other things, in some mythos it is considered to be the realm between Earth and Hell, this however, is incorrect.
The 'Netherworld' is where dark creatures live, and feed off the energies of folks on the Alpha Plane, however, this is a good thing. If they did not feed off our energies, we would all eventually explodes in pure darkness and destruction.
Those who harness "dark magic", or otherwise tap in to the 'Netherworld', often times use the raw negativity which the creatures there feed on, and use it against their enemies, most often this places so much raw hatred and anger that they cannot contain it and it physically hurts them.
((*the above post has entirely been the poster being a screwball, and isn't intended in any way shape or form represent how the lore of CoH expresses the Netherworld.*))
TSZ: Screwball extraordinare! Well screwballed. Aside from your subtle self-contradiction pertaining to planes/dimensions (within the context of CoX) that was all very well argued. I like.

Issue 16 made me feel like this.
