On Winath, the Ranzz parents and a hooded figure (the town mayor, all apparently brainwashed) try to zap the team with lightning powers they shouldn't have.

Brainy leaves them to their own devices. The foursome goes underground to avoid an oncoming storm - which is where most of Winathian business happens. They find "Validus" graffiti on a wall, an...

Mark Waid - Writer Barry Kitson - Penciller Mick Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti - Inker Nathan Eyring - Colorist Mike Marts - Editor Synopsis In a great foreshadowing moment, we see a memorial statue to Mon-El.
