Synopsis:

Per Degaton knows that the JSA are due to interfere with his plans in the near future, so he takes his revenge the only way he can, by watching each of their deaths at different times in the future (and in Hawkgirl's case in her past lives as well) and tells some of them about it. When Flash challenges Captain Marvel about his relationship with Stargirl, the wisdom of Solomon will not allow him to tell the older hero the truth about his age and he leaves the JSA. Per Degaton tells Flash that he dies a hero. When Green Lantern and Hawkgirl tell Alex Montez' family about his death, Per Degaton tells Hawkgirl that the death coming up for her will be her worst ever, and tells Green Lantern he'll die a few years after Hawkgirl. He watches Captain Marvel tell Stargirl that he's leaving several times over. He also encounters Hourman, taunting him about his inability to help his son, trapped in the Time Point. He commiserates with Doctor Mid-Nite over the death of a protégé. He also wants to taunt Doctor Fate, but Dream of the Endless will not allow him to interfere with his parents' happiness.
