Synopsis:

The new JSA makes its first public appearance and officially opens both its HQ and the JSA museum. They are interrupted by a rampaging Black Adam, and must protect a number of innocents from him. Dr Fate and Hourman travel back in time to the moment when Black Adam was created, taking Hawkgirl with them. Dr Fate channels some of Shazam's magic lightning forward in time, using Hawkgirl as a channel, in order to force Black Adam to revert to his mortal, non-powered form. Back in the present, the JSA discover that he was suffering from some kind of brain tumour which may have reversed his earlier apparent reformation.

Cameron Chase of the D.E.O. takes Adam into custody, as her boss, regional director Mister Bones muses on the JSA's return.
