Synopsis
  • Dinah Drake Lance reminisces how she became the Black Canary and eventually left Earth-Two to join the JLA. A later story establishes that these are in fact mystically-implanted memories and the woman in this story is actually Dinah Laurel Lance, the grown daughter of the late Dinah Drake Lance.
  • Lightray explains to some children how he came to possess his special "super-power."
  • At the Tower of Fate, Inza Nelson writes in her journal and reflects upon the events that turned her husband Kent Nelson into the sorcerer Doctor Fate. When Kent was only twelve-years-old, he accompanied his father, archaeologist Sven Nelson, to a dig in Sumeria. There, they unearthed the coffin containing the imprisoned Lord of Order, Nabu. Upon awakening, Nabu produced a poisonous gas that claimed Sven Nelson's life. He then decided to take young Kent under his wing as his apprentice. He used his magic to age him to adulthood, then spent the next several years teaching him the mystic arts. When the time came, Nabu explained that there was only one final test for Nelson to overcome. He had to concentrate all of his power upon Nabu himself. Nelson did as instructed and Nabu's mortal form was destroyed. In his true form, Nabu was a being of pure energy and he used his power to create the artifacts that would serve as the reservoir of his essence. He created a helm and a medallion and gave them to Kent so that he could protect the Earth as the sorcerer, Doctor Fate.
