| Synopsis |
During the final battle against the Hypotheticals, the JLA take control of the Starro virus and the Hypotheticals join them against General Tuzik. Tuzik plays his ace and transforms himself into a metahuman, complete with alien weaponry. But the potions he ingested were not meant for humans. As he kills Sybil, she frees the Hypotheticals to go on to their afterlife. The General dies and his son takes over for him, hoping to erase the memory of his father. |
