World War III # 1 - A Call To Arms

Week 45, Day 5

In Bialya, Martian Manhunter confronts Black Adam for the atrocities he is commiting. He asks why have millions paid the price for the actions of a few. They begin to fight when J'onn claims control of Adam's motor functions. Black Adam's mind is too strong for Martian Manhunter. Black Adam says "Shazam!" and J'onn is hit by the lightning. As he flies back, Adam approaches and says it again. J'onn tries to gain control of his mind again and Adam allows J'onn to experience the memory of every single man, woman, and child he killed. His mind is too black for J'onn and looking into it seems to overwhelm J'onn and he heads out into space.

Week 50, Day 1

Across the world, the world reacts to the actions and killings caused by Black Adam. Criminals rejoice while heroes scramble to take action. Everyone is aware that a war may be breaking out. World War III has started as forces try to take out Black Adam. When Father Time and his men begining firing on Black Adam, he rips his face off. Adam tells him that he never violated his country's borders yet they still came for him. It was a matter of an eye for an eye. He picks up a battle ship and throws it in the air.

In New York City, a group of thugs rob a bank admist the confusion of the world's event. A red object falls at their feet (that looks suspiciously like the Red Hood's helmut). Nightwing appears over them and gives them a beating they'll never forget. Firestorm manages to deal with the falling battleship as he just barely manages to covert it into snow.

In Egypt, Black Adam is fighting the Marvel Family. Donna Troy is seen standing over Wonder Woman's armor. The Doom Patrol prepare to go out. Somone standing behind Batgirl tells her it's time to make a decision. All of the world's actions apparently are being watched by the Martian Manhunter, still out in space, reeling over his encounter with Black Adam.
