Return of the Hero, part 2 of 3. A Zero Hour crossover issue. Triumph, a silver age hero trapped in time, has returned looking for the Justice League of America. Unfortunately, the silver age Justice League no longer exists, and Triumph must make do with the remains of a disbanded Justice League International. Elongated Man and the JLI heroes do not believe Triumph’s story. Triumph is worried that if he has returned, then the Plasma Men he was trapped with will come back as well. Triumph fights the Leaguers, which prompts the ancient mage Arion to put a stop to them. Triumph and the former Leaguers make their way to Washington D.C., the site of the Plasma Men attack, while Fire finds founding Justice Leaguer Martian Manhunter. Fire finds the Manhunter, who comes to D.C., but who does not remember Triumph. Thinking the whole thing a trick, Manhunter drops Triumph. However, Triumph was right, and the Plasma Men have returned.
