Everyone has gathered at Justice Society headquarters. There, Doctor Occult uses a mystic symbol to reach the essence of Doctor Fate and the Spectre, both consumed by Stalker when it was summoned. There is suffering and anguish from the visions before Johnny Thunder has Yz return them to the symbol. But Doctor Occult locates Stalker in Antarctica. There, Stalker converses with the souls he has consumed, explaining that he has killed gods. They counter that he might have murdered a facet here or there, but that the Almighty shines on. Perhaps, Stalker replies, he will finally succeed when he destroys the world and goes to his own rest. He goes to supervise his machine, which he built to overload the sun. When the heroes arrive, Stalker reanimates 70 million year old dinosaur skeletons to battle then; Green Lantern and Starman see what they can do about the sun killer. They discover the engine, a four dimensional object transposed into three dimensional space, but cannot defeat its defenses. Doctor Occult has a plan: Johnny Thunder will protect his body while he projects his soul astrally. Finally, Mister Terrific discovers a tiny flaw in the engine, a chip. He launches a buffalo nickle at it. Just as the engine begins to shake and shudder, Doctor Occult drives his soul into Stalkers! The heroes are falling one by one, but this assault frees Doctor Fate! Fate explains that Stalker’s power is derived from order, and Hourman understands why his future self traveled backwards in time to give his past self the hourglass. He smashes the hourglass and Stalker regresses through his timeline to the man he was, undoing his murders and attacks! Fifty later during Zero Hour, Extant stole the JSA’s youth, but a younger version of Hourman appears again. He is a machine, programmed with Rex Tyler’s genetic material and memories. He shows his dying progenitor a glimpse of the future. As a new age dawns for the Justice Society, Rex dies a happy man…
