Kathy Sutton visited Dr. Magnus, who'd pieced the Red Tornado back together. She hoped his soul would once again join the robot body. Platinum asked her questions about love. Hovering above the table unseen were John's soul and Deadman. 
Roy and Hal spent some time together for the first time since Jordan had been back from the dead. Roy hit him with some old man jokes, but Hal said he may be younger than Roy now. They headed out to meet Dinah and Kathy, who was not taking it well that Red Tornado hadn't returned yet (he'd died and returned seven times so far).
Jefferson Pierce (Black Lightning) met with one of his informants.
Boston Brand showed Reddy a body that was a "duplicate" of Multiplex, a guy who could make doubles of himself. His head was shaved and he had green eyes. Reddy entered the body. He felt taste and smell for the first time. He also was still in control of his powers. After he left, Deadman turned out to be Felix Faust.
Vixen got a note from the Question and began to look for him.
Ollie was happy for Roy when he realized he'd been picked for the new team.
Gold and Platinum were decapitated. Their attacker took the robot Red Tornado body and used his father box to escape.

Date January 2007
Writer(s) Brad Meltzer
Artist(s) Ed Benes, Sandra Hope
storyline Every one knew it was Starro; Superman was only able to pull off one of the "legs." Batman checked it out and found that under the organic bit was tech. It appeared to be Ivo's work, but well beyond anything anyone had done before.
Red Tornado's wife tried to talk him out of jumping right into action; Vixen continued looking for her totem.
Green Lantern, Arsenal, and Black Canary found their suspects - Starros were attached to their necks, too. In the next room, they found the Red Tornado. Ivo warned them, but they refused to listen. His body was now the "new Amazo." The real Red Tornado (in human form) arrived on the scene and was promptly knocked out by Solomon Grundy.
Elsewhere, Brion Markov's (Geo-Force) boat crashed. He was able to swim to land.

Date February 2007
Writer(s) Brad Meltzer
Artist(s) Ed Benes, Sandra Hope
storyline Grundy, who'd regenerated this time with intelligence, wanted Amazo's body to help him replace Ivo as an immortal (there were always 13, and Ivo was tired of being one of them). 
Geo-Force got himself checked out by a doctor.
Vixen, who'd lost herself with a flock of birds (unable to focus without her totem), got close enough to a human to regain her senses.
Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Hawkgirl, and Black Lightning showed up to back GL, Canary, Arsenal, and Reddy.
Amazo turned out to not yet be complete. The memory dump which was taking place when he awakened left much of Red Tornado in him. He went "home," where Kathy blasted him with Apokolips tech (given to everyone's family by Barda). Ivo teleported the heroes to Smith's home; Grundy grabbed Red Tornado and kept him from joining them. 8

The League fought Amazo. Wonder Woman tied him, GL and Batman began cutting into his legs.
While beating on the Red Tornado, Grundy confessed they only put him in a human body so they could finally kill him. Vixen homed in on her totem, which was attached to Amazo. She dive-bombed him, leaving him "disassembled."
With Kathy watching through the teleportation tunnel, Grundy ripped off Red Tornado's arm and ate it. Tornado hit him with the force of an F5 and ripped him in half. The League got the teleportation tunnel opened, and Kathy held him as he died in his human body.
After Phantom Stranger and Zatana gave support, he reawakened in a new robot body.
