The cosmic buttinsky known as The Interferer has broken out of the back issue of The Omega Men that he had been trapped in for decades, thanks to the Flash's mommy issues or something. Shortly before the Post-Crisis DC Universe collapsed into Flashpoint, the Interferer read the Salvation Run trade paperback, and thought it was too cool. The Interferer tried to find Salvation, but failing that, landed in a back issue of Showcase with a joint similar enough to have some fun. Figuring nobody would miss them, the Interferer took all of the Martian Manhunter's rogues gallery to a battle planet inspired by Manhunter 2070. It would have been rad to kill J'Onn J'Onzz again, but he ended up in The Outsider, so we'll have to make do...
Dr. Light had a leering eyeful of Bel Juz, so he noticed the ray gun drawn from behind her back, but was surprised when it was cast aside unfired. Bel had seen the lightshow, and suspected her own weapon might be used against her. Instead, Bel turned herself into the instrument of Arthur Light's demise, drawing him close and snapping his scrawny little neck with a twist of her seemingly delicate fingers. Meanwhile, N’orr Cott was swinging his sword in vain, unable to connect with the leaping Human Squirrel. By the same token, the Squirrel went back up the ridge, and tossed a large rock that missed N'or by a mile. Well, N'orr perhaps, but not several weak points in the ridge, causing a rockslide to bury the Martian. The Squirrel tread carefully through the dust and debris, pausing to note Dr. Light's corpse...
The mound of Martian Mandrills had blocked the cave exit, so The Devil Men of Pluto had no choice but to venture further into the network of caves. In a cavern, they discovered another mound of monsters not of their making, under which was buried the Prophet. Climbing over the mass, L'lex Xanadar found a little old man in a robe waiting on the other side. Diabolu seemed to be holding something...
Malador had bitten off more than he could chew, as his magic could not outpace the energy rifles of the Invaders from the Space Warp, who progressed long and hard up an incline. Eventually, they found themselves atop the rain shadow, high above the Bronze Desert, in the domain of Commander Blanx...
Strolling out of the Iron City's garbage dump, Mr. Moth made a mental note to himself that as impressive as Nemesus' sorcery was, magic isn't nearly as well known for its speed and ease of use as firearms. Hearing a rumbling coming from the overpass, Mr. Moth spotted a tank rolling along with what appeared to be a Falcon-head pinata mounted to the front. Despite having none of the comforts or resources his position as DEO Director provided, the driver was doing alright for himself. Stopping the tank, Mister Bones climbed out of the porthole to survey the area...
Monty Moran couldn't steer his getaway car off the subway tracks, and slammed violently into a curve that his vehicle was not equipped for. The impact collapsed a nearby wall, revealing an automaton dragging the limp Captain Destiny by his ankle. Professor Amos Fortune's eyes fixed on Professor Anthony Ivo past the opening, finalizing his next project. Before Fortune could find favor, he was struck by a test beam, teleporting him atop the rain shadow of the Bronze Desert...
The Vulture thugs who were still conscious were a luminescent green. Professor Arnold Hugo followed the glow as they raced back to their Faceless master for help in the city's underbelly. There would be no respite found there, as Mister V proved much too slow in arming himself, and Vandal Savage struck him down with one of King Zeus' former lightning bolts. Vandal Savage inspected Faceless' cold machine gun, a nice enough if outdated bit of hardware. Vulture afforded the opportunity to see how the weapon held up in action, and Savage was pleased at how swiftly it dropped the hoods. Stalking down a hallway, plotting his response, the Wizard of 1,000 Menaces remained unimpressed...
