mazingman728's DC Forum spoilers.

Cover has Wildcat, Green Lantern and Flash walking towards an open door. “LAST DAYS OF THE JSA”

The ticker at the bottom reads “Egg Fu: Food—or Menace?...John Henry’s big discovery…39 Day till the Rain”

Going by the calendar, in 39 days it will be New Years Day.


The solicitation for WEEK 29: "Th-th-they're going to kill me. S-S-Supergirl's going to kill me." "That's — the BLACK MARVEL FAMILY?" Plus, The Origin of The Joker by Waid and Brian Bolland.
None of these are in the book. All though the Supergirl quote is from an episode of JLU and the Black Adam quote is from Week 25.

Week 29, Day 2
Morning in New York: Wildcat, Green Lantern and Flash are standing around the Justice Society table talking about the end of the JS and how last Thanksgiving they were having “another turkey day with the League”. Outside is a Thanksgiving Day parade with a number of Everyman Project heroes flying by, a float with Infinity Inc on it and a big Lex Balloon with the JS looking on from their window. None of the JS are happy about the use of the name Infinity Inc and how Luthor came out it. Apparently Sandman had discovered a dozen of Luthor’s heroes with a criminal past but Luthor’s PR team has helped cover it up. The newest member of Infinity Inc, Jade, is then introduced to the parade viewers. AT that point Obsidian appears in JS headquarters and is not happy about the Jade situation. Obsidian has words with Green Lantern and then storms out of the building flying through a window. Obsidian goes to confront Jade but is blocked by Matrix. Obsidian not to be stopped encases Matrix within a dark field and continues after Jade. Jade tries to protect herself by creating vines around Obsidian ***this is one of the scenes from last weeks Next in 52*** but it does no good. The new Nuklon says that somebody has to stop him at which Green Lantern says that he’ll do it.***this is one of the scenes from last week’s Next in 52*** Green Lantern separated the two and asks Obsidian if this is what his sister would have wanted in which he replies no and calms down.

Afternoon on Oolong Island: Some of the scientists are sitting around a dinner table while Sivanna starts to carve a six-legged turkey with a chain saw. Will gets up from the table and leaves the room to be followed by Dr. Cale. During this Dr. Krabb is insisting that somebody has stolen his gold watch. Will is about to enter the men’s room when Cale catches up to Will and they talk. Cale reveals the gold watch that was in Will’s pocket. We then get a panel that is of a building which appears to be on Apocalypse. Cale reveals that her specialty is “technology from another world—a higher, brighter, more terrible world has fallen to Earth Doctor Magnus. ‘I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to Earth. The key to the Pit of Abyss…’
Egg Fu arrives at the dinner and questions why he was not invited; Sivanna is still carving the turkey with a chainsaw. One of the guards snickers at Egg in which Egg kills the guard. Will and Cale return to the dinner table. Egg asks Will how the Plutonium Man is coming along in which Will replies slowly. Egg is not happy with the response, “Slowly implies progress however small. You have done nothing Mister American Genius”! Cale then tells Egg that Will is one medication to suppress his Manic/Depressive tendencies. Egg then has Will taken away by the guards to have his medication taken away. Cale then cuts the tip of her finger and sucks the blood and says “I’m going to enjoy working with you Will Magnus”.

Justice Society Headquarters: Flash invites Wildcat to his house for dinner. Wildcat says he has plans so Flash takes off leaving Wildcat alone.

Week 29, Day 3
Metropolis: The Steelworks: Dr. Midnight and Beast Boy are talking to a person whom was apart of the Everyman Project and lost his powers. Kala shows up looking for John who is in a back room. John has been peeling off his silver skin for about an hour and almost has it all removed, “…It started peeling off about an hour ago. We knew Luthor could take away everything he gives…we thought it was a question of procedure, that Ferry had a second treatment that took his powers…but if it’s like this then there is no reverse therapy. There’s an expiration date”.


Next Week in 52: Nightwing, Robin, Batwoman.

Seeing Natasha's reaction to how Obsidian and Alan felt about the new Jade makes me wonder if John Henry wasn't right about her. i wonder why Luthor isn't trying to completely trying to recreate Infinity Inc, with a Silver Scarab and Northwind, or even a new Obsidian. I kind of hope Skyman gets to keep his powers though.

I'm glad the "steel" skin Steel thing is over. I hated that change. I was never a big Steel fan to begin with, but that steel skin just made him worse.

I'm looking forward to seeing some more progress on the Everyman Hero project. If Steel's armor just peeled off, then the first few people who joined the Lex-Men (this new Infinity Inc.) should be losing their powers soon, unless maybe Lex has a way to give them some kind of booster treatment to extend the duration.

In fact, as a fan of Infinity Inc. back in the day, I am really looking forward to seeing the failure of this soulless and corporate version that Lex has created. It was appalling to see the JSA break up, just as Obsidian is finally back in action as a hero. Alan Scott and Jay Garrick are like the elder statesmen of all DC heroes, they shouldn't have to put up with some fake punk Nuklon poser mouthing off to them. But ultimately, it looks like it will be Steel that takes down these fakes, unless they die in action as their powers fade.

One of them is supposedly the first person to undergo the treatment. But we know Luthor can remove, block and augment their powers at the push of a button, so it makes sense that he can either give them back or extend the duration.

It also might be that he sets a specific duration when he gives them in the first place.

I, too, disliked the steel skin.
Perhaps this explains him being back in costume in the 52 solicitation in this month's Previews

When did Obsidian get his powers back?

It's likely that Steel had an earlier version of the "treatment", and that Luthor wasn't yet able to control the duration of its effect. This may have been changed for the later treatments.

Luthor was able to remotely boost the "new blockbuster" AND cut the team's speedsters' powers at the same time, leading to her death. The treatment that Steel received was calculated to mess with his mind, nothing else.

I agree. Steel believes that the powers have a sell by date but that's just an asumption based on what has happened to him and with no knowledge of what we, the reader have seen Lex do with his buttons.

Everyman on II was apparently the very first person to get the treatment, though, so the beta theory doesn't really work. So either he could always control the duration or he gives it to people more than once.

I think Steel is going to incorporate a way of switching the powers off into his new suit.

As I read your post, I just realized that Steel and Lex make interesting enemies, possibly moreso than Superman and Lex.

I was thinking they might do something more along the lines of Extreamis in Iron Man, Basically he will have a steelskin suit he can turn on at will that he normally uses below his Full Armour.

It could be possible that the powers come with a time limit AND Luthor can control them, right?

He can control them, turn them off and on, up until the expiration date. After the expiration date the person has to get another treatment to have powers again.

From a businessman's point of view, this is the absolute stupidest mistake Luthor could have made. He sold powers to, we assume, hundreds and hundreds of people and they're all going to lose those powers within six months time? He'll never recover from that class-action suit.

Unless this was his plan all along. It better be an incredible plan.

Who knows? This book keeps getting more and more convoluted.

52 has become the La Brea Tar pits.

I don't wish to end up like a fake dinosaur and get sucked down into it so I am officially done.

Yeah, it's duelling scientists, so they're more evenly matched. Also, unlike Supes, John Henry isn't plagued by guilt or distracted by hopes of reforming him. With the natasha situation, it's pure, bitter enmity.

He'll never recover from that class-action suit. Well, he does lose all his money to legal fees by the end of 52...

...I think Egg Fu and the other mad scientists are going to regret this decision, once Will's genius starts spiraling out of even their control. And I think Cale's going to have a nasty surprise (which she'll deserve, that skank)
