"THE I OF THE BEHOLDER!" Batman must determine where reality ends and illusion begins when facing the new menace known as Mirage.

Armed with HawkmanÕs repellor-discs, which prevent Starro from taking control of them as he has their fellow members, Batman, Aquaman, the Flash, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Elongated Man and Zatanna mount a counterattack on Starro and his mind-slaves. If they fail, the authorities may be forced to destroy New York to prevent the spread of StarroÕs endlessly replicating duplicates. The problem is solved by two ÒvictimsÓ who escape StarroÕs control. Red Tornado, whose computer mind is not affected as a human brain would be by StarroÕs influence, blacks out the city, leaving Starro without an energy source, and Terry Watson, by hiding in a food freezer, enables Hawkman and Hawkgirl to discover that intense cold can not only free the alien conquerorÕs victims, but also defeat Starro himself. Firestorm and Green Lantern, their minds freed from StarroÕs control, bombard him with ice and freeze him solid, while ZatannaÕs magic chills the air, disposing of the duplicates across the city.

Batman and Robin are introduced to a new villain in town-Dr. Death.

His remains fished out of Long Island Sound by young Terry Watson (following events in ADVENTURE COMICS vol. 1 #451), Starro slowly regains his former stature and powers. Transported to a Central Park lake by a mind-controlled Terry and his family, the starfish villain has an accidental encounter with Red Tornado and Wonder Woman, which alerts the other JLA heroes to his presence. In the subsequent battle, Starro is able to create dozens of small duplicates of himself that attach themselves to his victims, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Red Tornado, Black Canary and Firestorm, putting them under his control. By the time the remaining Justice League members and the U.S. Navy arrive on the scene, the entire island of Manhattan is under StarroÕs mental sway.

Witnessing his father's death at the hands of Spider-Man unhinges Harry Osborne. He vows to avenge his father and carry on his legacy as the Green Goblin.

ÒREPRISE.Ó Black Canary is hospitalized after she and Green Arrow are defeated in a battle against the Star-Tsar.

Zatanna contacts the Atom for help when she seems to be losing her magical powers (a gradual development from previous issues), but the affliction appears to be widespread, as other JLA members on individual cases also find themselves bereft of their super-abilities, including the Flash, Black Canary, Elongated Man and the Atom himself. The culprit is the android Amazo, reactivated against his will by the Key, who is stealing the League membersÕ energies for his own use and to cure the Key of his dwarf state (suffered as a side effect of his previous cure in issue #150). With HawkmanÕs aid, the superheroes track down and defeat Amazo, while Zatanna magically cures the Key of his affliction. In the aftermath of the battle, the Atom learns that ZatannaÕs power loss is a separate phenomenon, caused by her overuse of her skills in previous cases, and that her powers are permanently reduced as a result.

Something is draining the lifeblood out of the JLA. Can they stop it before it kills them?

Crushed when another physicist unwittingly duplicates a research paper he had planned to give at the International Physical Year Symposium, Ray Palmer suffers a nervous breakdown. When his wife Jean and Hawkman attempt to help him, he flies into a rage, becomes the Atom and vanishes into an unexplored subatomic world.

They encounter a woman called Wanderer and are attacked by reptilian humanoids she calls Devil Guards, creatures of Goltha, the micro-worldÕs tyrannical ruler. The heroes journey with her to the city of ChÕanar, unaware that the Atom, now a comparative giant in size, is a captive there.
