Synopsis:

The Justice Leaguers have been captured by the Aryan Brigade, and can only watch as the scientists of the Aryan Nation unleash a genetic virus unless Hourman, still free, can do something. Unable to rely on his powers, he nevertheless breaks in to the Aryan Nation's HQ and frees his colleagues. Now, better prepared, they can beat the Aryan Brigade while Martian Manhunter makes sue that the virus does no harm by exploding the missile containing it well outside the atmosphere. The leader still has a vial of the virus and attempts to unleash it, but only manages to expose himself to it. To his utter dismay it affects him - he must have some mongrel blood. The Task Force members are dismayed at the whole episode, and when Gypsy and Martian Manhunter return to base, they are confronted by Despero, who welcomes them to the end of the world...
