A ZERO HOUR tie-in! The Ray has never known the full truth of his metahuman inheritance--until now! His father, the Golden Age Ray, reveals those startling, long-hidden secrets and the young Ray may not be able to live with what he learns.

A Zero Month crossover issue. The golden age Ray, Happy Terrill, is searching for his missing son, the current Ray. Happy tries Ray’s JLA teammate Martian Manhunter, then Ray’s girlfriend Jenny Jurden and his cousin Hank, but can’t find him. Meanwhile, Ray has found his mother, a woman he thought was dead. Ray takes a trip back through his childhood, remembering when his father lied to him about her death and when he lied to Ray throughout his childhood. Happy finally finds Ray, and Ray confronts him about all the lies. Happy and Ray’s fight is interrupted by Ray’s mother Nadine. However, Happy lies to Nadine, saying that Ray is “Tony the Pizza Guy.” Ray storms off, leaving Happy alone outside Nadine’s house.
