Synopsis for "Last of the Czarnians"
Day 1:
Lex Luthor goes over a video that was put together to showcase his new team of heroes created by the Everyman Project and discusses their upcoming publicity appearances. The new heroes express their desire for code names. Speedster Eliza Harmon, who has become reliant on the drug known as Sharp, expresses her distaste with Luthor and storms out.
Day 2:
Animal Man guides the blinded Adam Strange, who is piloting their Thanagarian Warbird through an asteroid field while Starfire clears a path. Both the Warbird and Starfire take a few lumps.
Day 4:
The Warbird has landed on a large asteroid, and the three heroes aboard discuss their bleak chances of rescue.
Night 4:
Starfire and Animal Man discuss their feelings about destiny and the immensity of space, but their conversation is cut short by an attack from Devilance, who has pursued them into the asteroid field. His attack, however, is cut short when Lobo appears and kills him. Starfire works out a deal with the bounty hunter, in which he will guide them to safety, and the heroes will help him with his troubles.
Day 7:
The battered form of a dismembered Red Tornado comes online in front of a small group of aborigines in the Australian Outback, uttering the number "52".
