Ace, Rocky, June, and Swamp Thing are prisoners, but make a break. Swamp Thing holds back mutants while the Challs bolt... In 1978, a weakened Prof wears golden armor to fight a mutant. Red returns, cranks the lab temperature, and cooks the monster... In the future, the Challs reach the breeder labs and blow it up with a massive "implosion"... Swamp Thing battles the mutant giant Persuader. Lawspeaker arrives the cavalry, his rebel Sky Riders... In our time, the Justice League routs the mutant monsters... The Sunset Lords would destroy the city, but Deadman possesses mind-slaved Rip Hunter to destroy the button. The future is free!
