Others might not have known, but J'onn knew all too well.
Black Adam and Sabbac had both been released by Solomon himself!
He found this mysterious boss harder and harder to understand.
At first, he had thought Solomon had released Sabbac to bring destruction, but what had happened instead?
The ancient demon had barely emerged, with no time to begin his slaughter, before he was swiftly slain.
By that reckoning, this mighty demon lord of Hell had killed even fewer people than Black Adam, the "hero."
Lex Luthor's warning, laden with apprehension, echoed through J'onn's mind once again.
Could Solomon's true objective be these Supes?
