As the JLA and JSA teams reunite in the present alongside the Seven Soldiers on Earth-2, the Hand makes his final move to destroy Earth-2 itself. In order to stop the nebulous hand about to crush Earth-Two, one of the heroes must deliver the Nebula-Rod into the heart of the menace, much like how Wing had sacrificed his life vs. the Nebula Man in the early 50's,as earlier revealed. Red Tornado makes the sacrifice and the Hand is captured, both teams victorious.
