Synopsis for "Black Reign"
Fighting between Black Reign and the JSA escalates: Hawkman rips the wings off of Northwind, Dr. Fate wrests control of his body back from Nabu, and Rex Tyler appears from Timepoint to take over for his mortally-wounded son.
Alexander Montez's binding tattoos are cut, loosening his control over Eclipso, who immediately kills Nemesis. Several Kahndaqis have formed a mob to kill some JSA members and Black Adam has Captain Marvel bound and gagged, unable to transform from Billy Batson.
The Atom coordinates with Doctor Mid-Nite to lobotomize Brainwave but discovers the root of his personality shift and amplified mental powers: Mister Mind.
