"52" - Week 49
- A full-force Justice Society arrives at the doorstep of Oolong Island’s creepy medical research facility. After refusing to pay for Black Adam’s release, Chinese superteam the Great Ten appears to insist the heroes leave as the island is actually property of the People’s Republic.
- Inside, Egg Fu approaches Will Magnus about the Plutonium Man—a super-big, super-angry Metal Man the giant egg had commissioned from the downtrodden genius. Magnus explains the secret of giving life to inanimate metal and how a Metal Man can be of any size before…BOOM!…tiny Metal Men appear to take out Egg Fu! As miniature versions of Gold, Tin, Iron and the rest attack the cracked villain, Morrow himself prepares for battle.
- As tensions rise on the front lawn, JSA founder Alan “Green Lantern” Scott drops some mad knowledge bombs on the Great Ten. Apparently, the Ten have been in bed with Egg Fu this whole time! In fact, they set up the entire Oolong operation as a way to kill the Black Adam family. However, Scott believes Fu has been playing the rest of the Ten all along. Either way, he wants Adam…like NOW!
- More craziness in the lab! Morrow enters the Magnus-Fu fray firing at Metal Men and telling Will that he doesn’t want the JSA getting in where all the mad scientists have been chilling out. Luckily, Magnus thought of everything and teleports his ex-buddy to Dr. Sivana’s Omnibot (kind of like a Voltron thing) in space so Morrow can continue his search for Red Tornado. Magnus wraps up the conflict in a tight little package by blasting a hole in Egg Fu’s head with a bullet made of Metal Man Lead.
- When the JSA bursts into the base, Atom Smasher finds Dr. Sivana trying to sneak out after torturing Black Adam for secrets on how to defeat Captain Marvel. Smasher releases Adam and offers him the convenient excuse of blaming the deaths in Bialya on Death. Adam’s not having it though, and he smashes through the Oolong roof still on his revenge quest.
Things wrap in Metropolis, where the remaining members of Lex Luthor’s disgraced Infinity Inc. team see that Adam is on his way stateside and decide that only they can stop him. We’re sure that’s going to happen!
