Comment(s):

The Daring New Adventures of Supergirl series is no longer in continuity but as Matrix-Prime is inhabited by the mind of Gang member Brains the events shown in that series have taken place in some form and as with other Supergirl adventures they are probably credited to Power Girl in current continuity.
This story continues in the next issue.

Synopsis:

Signs appear to point to an invasion of Earth from the 5th dimension, home of Mister Mxyzptlk - Captain Marvel battles the Djinn in Bahdnisia, and Hourman predicts a number of events, including the death of a hero. The Spectre force is imprisoned in a rocky tomb, and the two Flashes call in the Justice League and the surviving members of the Justice Society to help the against a tide of mounting chaos in Central City.
William McIntyre, formerly the hero named Triumph is at the end of his tether and is persuaded by the genie Lkz to free him, giving Triumph tremendous power in return. In Central City, Lkz begins his reign of terror on the Earth.
