Synopsis for "Massacre in Gray"

The Creeper and the Justice League enter the bizarre altered city of Stone Ridge and find the population comatose. The Gray Man has captured Captain Marvel and Dr. Fate and sent his duplicate selves to steal the dream energies of the world's population, giving him enormous magical power.

To amuse himself, he decides to control Marvel directly and sends him to fight his teammates. The Martian Manhunter engages him while the others track the Gray Man to a movie theater. Gray Man has difficulty controlling Marvel as his magical nature resists and Martian Manhunter uses his telepathy to help him fight his control as well. Eventually, he is weakened enough that Captain Marvel regains control but not before the Martian Manhunter knocks him out.

Dr. Fate manages to break free from his magical cocoon and the two fight as the remaining members of the Justuce League arrive. Gray Man summons his army of controlled selves who attack the Creeper and the Justice League members, stealing their energy and putting them all in a coma. Fate teleports the group and the Gray Man to to another dimension. The Martian Manhunter is unable to find them, so he takes the injured Captain Marvel for medical attention.

Elsewhere, Maxwell Lord tells Hal Jordan about his plans for the Justice League.
