Armed with Hawkmanâs 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 Starroâs endlessly replicating duplicates. The problem is solved by two âvictimsâ who escape Starroâs control. Red Tornado, whose computer mind is not affected as a human brain would be by Starroâs 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 conquerorâs victims, but also defeat Starro himself. Firestorm and Green Lantern, their minds freed from Starroâs control, bombard him with ice and freeze him solid, while Zatannaâs magic chills the air, disposing of the duplicates across the city.
