Title:
Countdown To Final Crisis
Synopsis:
Mary Marvel and Eclipso have a rematch and the two plummet back to Earth. They fight over the island of Themyscira, and Eclipso tries to use the Heart of Darkness to kill Mary Marvel. Like many others though, what Eclipso truly wants is Mary’s power. Mary has had enough, and decides to give Eclipso exactly what she wants. Grabbing hold of her, she shouts the magic word ”Shazam” and the mystical lightning bolt strikes both of them, causing both of them to revert to their normal forms and falling to Themyscira’s sea. When Mary recovers, but Eclipso is nowhere to be found, and Mary looks up to find two Amazon warriors standing over her.
In the multiversal reality of Earth-51, Bob the Monitor betrays his fellow Challengers from Beyond, citing that his true intention was to find Ray Palmer so he could kill him. Donna Troy barrels into him, but Bob is too strong for her. Even a weakened Jason Todd gives it all he has by hurling a dagger into the back of Bob’s neck. This doesn’t even slow him down however. Bob slaughters Ray Palmer’s friends in this reality including, Barry Allen, Iris West, Ralph Dibny and Jean Loring. The Atom however, manages to evade being executed.
Suddenly, the other Monitors appear and intervene in the chaos taking place. Solomon attacks Bob and drains him of his power, killing him. However, Solomon suddenly realized that Bob hasn’t reside within him. The death of Bob shocked many of the other Monitors and demands what Bob said to Solomon of being ”joined”. Solomon reveals his true goal of saving the multiverse by becoming the source, the Prime Monitor. The Monitors are aghast of his ”insane” goal and immediately sees Solomon for manipulating the events in ”setting the crisis in motion”. Solomon angrily rebukes his fellow Monitors stating that he was only to save him and his brethren from the corruption of individuality. Solomon’s statement is cut short as he and the Monitors are then confronted by Monarch and his army.
