Power Guy soared high above Metropolis of Earth 1. He was looking forward to seeing his old friends Scott and Jerrica Trevor, the former Wonder Man and Jem. He was a bit surprised to get a message from them, but they were the celebrities of the group—some would say narcissistic, especially Scott. Jerrica was being recognized for her charity work and had invited Power Guy to the ceremony. He looked over the city below that nearly mirrored his home on Earth 2.

“The sky, the air…so familiar and so nice here.” He thought as he aimlessly flew around. Moments like this, he was truly happy just floating and not having to worry about some crisis. Just then he noticed a bright flash of light--like a hologram on Swan Avenue.





“Was that…Jerrica? What is she doing here in Metropolis? The award ceremony is in Los Angeles. I better get down there. “

As he descended, he noticed Jem looked terrified and was running.

“Jem! Wait up! What’s wrong?” he shouted as he flew towards her. The crowds on the street erupted into cheers seeing who they knew to be Supergirl’s “cousin” from another world.

Jem ducked into an alley and Power Guy followed behind.

“What is going on? Why are you in Metropolis?” he asked.

“Oh Power Guy….something terrible….has happened.” Jem gasped.





Power Guy thought it was odd that she didn’t call him Vince as they were good friends but then he remember that they were in public, even though there seemed to be no-one around.

“Tell me what it is, I can help.” He offered.

As he moved towards her, Jem produced a hand gun and fired it at Power Guy. He was caught off guard as the bullets ripped into his shoulder.

“Something terrible….just happened…to YOU.” Jem smiled.

Before Power Guy could react, he felt nauseated and his head started spinning.

“That’s right big guy…Dr. Natas left behind something for a day like today….kryptonite bullets.” Jem smiled as she pressed a button concealed in her glove, revealing her true identity, Scream Queen.





“Wha…what have you done with Jem?” Power Guy demanded.

“Why nothing! Another device of Dr. Nata’s allowed me to assume her look, as tacky as it is to fool you! Magical properties as well, hahaha! Now, get comfy! Your little trip is just beginning.” She cackled as she dug her boot into Power Guy’s now bleeding shoulder.

He screamed in agony as she kicked and kicked again. “Now, to make sure you keep quiet !” she smiled as she produced a vial. She sprayed the contents of the vial directly into Power Guy’s face.

“No….keep….away…..” he gasped. “I….I’ll do anything you want….just don’t hurt my friends….” He whispered, trying to fight the overwhelming fear overtaking him.

“That’s what I thought. That particular powder senses your greatest fear and intensifies it 100 times.” She then punched him, knocking him out.

“Scream Queen to Lance Luthor.” She said into her wrist communicator. “Mission accomplished, come pick me up!” Within seconds the Hall of Doom beamed Sceam Queen and Power Guy into its dark meeting room.

“Splendid!!” Lance Luther clapped. Sting Ray, Riddler—secure our dear friend for the show to follow. Be sure to make him very uncomfortable.”





“The Cheetah was right! This is fun.” Scream Queen laughed as she took her seat. “I can’t wait to see how Sir Simian Sinister and Giantessa fare with Green Lantern!”

***

Coast City, CA…

“Thanks for helping out today, Green Lantern!” the beautiful red head smiled.

“I’m just glad I was in the area, Lilith. You are doing such good work here and I would hate to see it get derailed.” Green Lantern smiled.





“Well, I never dreamed I would be working with the police to solve crimes, but I believe God gave me my ESP for a good reason. If this crime scene had burned, there would be nothing here for me to tune in on, you know?”





Lilith was working on a case for the police department and the house where the crime occurred had been set fire. Green Lantern had spotted it while on patrol and helped put out the fire, as well as preserving most of the crime scene.

“Green Lantern…be careful today. I sense….malicious thoughts…aimed at you…”

“That comes with the territory, Lilith.” He said, dismissing her warning.

He said farewell to Lilith and took off. He had received a call from the Coast Guard about a seismic disturbance.

“Well, well, well, if you aren’t the little fireman! Do you pose for calendars and strip too?”





Green Lantern was stunned to see Giantessa rising from the ocean beneath him.

“Giantessa, just the person I did not want to see today.”

“How rude you are, LITTLE man!” She smiled as she swung a giant baseball bat at him.

Green Lantern was not expecting this and the bat knocked the wind out of him.

“You need more tricks than that, Giantessa.” He said as he created a giant fisherman’s net with his ring.

“Uh-uh, baldy!” She grimaced, once again aiming the bat at Green Lantern as she side-stepped the glowing, green net. Green Lantern was stunned as the bat opened up and millions of tiny yellow robot insects flew forth. Within moments he was covered with them.

As the insects dug into his skin, he thought “I have more willpower than this….got to fight these off!” His ring began to stop glowing as the insects’ attack intensified.

Within moments, he was spiraling towards the ocean. The insects were going into his mouth, ears….even his nose. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Sir Simian Sinister cutting through the waves in a yellow boat. He crashed into the water, weakened and injured. Sir Simian Sinister massive, furry arm soon fished Green Lantern out of the water. Before he could catch his breath, the brutal ape tossed Green Lantern into a yellow coffin and sealed it shut.

“I guess I should poke some holes in there so you won’t suffocate. Wouldn’t want you to miss seeing your pals and the big party we have planned for you all.” The son of Giganta and Gorilla Grodd said flatly.





His sister joined him on the boat. “Hurry brother, this salty air is bad for my complexion,” urged Giantessa.

Several minutes later, the brother-sister duo presented Green Lantern to the assembled members of the Legion of Doom. Inside the coffin, Green Lantern found a small crack and could see through it. He saw Power Guy slumped on the floor in a pool of blood, Kryptonite shackles on his hands and feet. There was a glowing collar with a chain around his neck. Bizarbara was commanding him to walk, much like one would scold a puppy.

“Welcome Green Lantern!” Lance Luthor smiled. Not one, but two of the mightiest Titans of Justice at our mercy…..too bad we don’t have any mercy! Don’t worry though, you will not die alone. You’ll see more of your friends soon enough. “ he smirked.

“Grundy, Cheetah!” Luthor barked, “Are you ready to complete our collection?”

“We arrrrre, Luthorrr.” The Cheetah purred as she shredded a picture of the Titans of Justice into smithereens with her claws.
