SYNOPSIS
The Flash races with Zum around the world from Beijing to Mount Rushmore each using superspeed tricks, in the end Barry Allen's "Flash Facts" win as Zum lands half a world away. Returning to the Gobi Desert Flash helps Green Lantern defeat Zenturion and Armek, they then discover that the Hyperclan mind control transmitters are hidden in hyperspace. A revived Zenturion and Armek surprise the two heroes and manage to defeat them.
Meanwhile back at the Antarctic Watchtower Batman who survived the plane crash deduces that the Hyperclan are in fact Martians via their abilities and fear of fire. Using these facts he manages to take down A-Mortal and then Tronix, Zenturion and Fluxus in one go. While Protex had been preparing to execute the captured Leaguers on television the actions of Batman force him to initiate a full invasion from cloaked orbital cruisers.
QUOTE
"Reality check: I'm in the Gobi Desert, one super crazy's choking me to death and his huge armoured pal just threatened to cripple me. What is it with super-villains nowadays? "
"What happened to crazy jewel heists and dumb traps? Now they murder your girlfriend and stuff her in a fridge for kicks. The old Green Lantern had it easy." - Kyle Rayner battling Zenturion and Armek.
