Synopsis for "Odd Couples"
A few days ago
Doctor Sivana visits Metropolis for a special rooftop meeting with Lex Luthor. The two men despise one another but recognize that they are both the entrepreneurial emperors of their respective coasts. Sivana wants to hire Luthor's agent Spec to cultivate information on Captain Marvel. In exchange for Spec's services, Luthor wants Sivana to sell him back 80,000 shares of LexCorp stock that he currently owns.
A few days later, Spec trails Captain Marvel's flight path through Fawcett City. He witnesses transform from the adult Marvel into young Billy Batson.
Now:
Superman arrives in Fawcett City to assist Captain Marvel in fighting the Temple of Bagdon cultists. The high priest of the cult, Mr. Heath, summons two Mallus Trolls and orders them to attack the heroes. Superman has some trouble when one of the Trolls hits him with a magic breath attack that forms a hard crystal around him, which requires Captain Marvel to free him. Superman uses his arctic-breath to freeze the creature in place, allowing Captain Marvel the ability to smash them into pieces. The second Trolls attempts the same attack, but Captain Marvel blocks it with his body leaving Superman impressed at how this new hero is impervious to it compared to himself.
Meanwhile, Temple of Bagdon cultists evade capture. They discover a young man named Timothy Barnes. Timothy is apparently a descendent of the Bagdan line. Mr. Heath reports to his superior, Doctor Sivana, indicating that he has located the chosen one.
They bring Barnes to a sub-basement at Sivana Industries, where Heath begins to conduct a Satanic ritual. He invokes the name of six powerful demons and transforms Timothy Barnes into Sabbac.
That evening, a lunar eclipse begins to take place. At the Fawcett City Solar Center, scientist Doctor Bruce Gordon looks up towards the moon. At the first sign of the eclipse, he transforms into the villain known as Eclipso.
