COMMENTS
The Hyperclan Watchtower unearthed in Antarctica is called Z'onn Z'orr and had been covered by the ice for millennia, the other two Watchtowers were built on site at superspeed.
Wonder Woman can fly with the Speed of Hermes - Mach Three.
It seems that the former Krypton System is now known as the Krypton Gulf.
Batman's reflection can be seen in the crashed windshield of the Batplane. The Hyperclan dare not go near the flames.
SYNOPSIS
In full view of the world's assembled media the Hyperclan reveal three "Watchtowers" in Antarctica, the Gobi Desert and in the Pacific telling the world that they are splitting their forces between the bases in order to better cover the planet for emergencies. Meanwhile the League fail to detect the point of origin of the Hyperclan mind control signal.
Using normal procedures the League split their forces three ways. Wonder Woman and Aquaman investigate the Pacific Watchtower and after a battle are captured by Fluxus and Tronix. Green Lantern and the Flash tackle and for the moment hold their own against Zum, Armek and Zenturion in the Gobi Desert. Batman and Superman investigate the Antarctic Watchtower where Protex uses Kryptonite to subdue Superman and the Batplane is seemingly destroyed by A-Mortal. Meanwhile the Martian Manhunter secretly meets with Protex who argues the case for the J'onn joining the Hyperclan.
