Synopsis for "The Next Age (Part II of IV)"

In Franklin County, Ohio, the Heywood family enjoys a large family reunion. Former football sensation, Nate Heywood reminisces of his late cousin and grandfather, both of whom had once operated under the code-name Steel. Like them, Nate is physically handicapped, having lost his right leg from an old football injury.

In Brooklyn, New York, Green Lantern and the Flash take Wildcat to meet Tom Bronson – his son. Ted is extremely uncomfortable, and Tom invites him into his brownstone. He reveals that Ted once had an affair with his late mother, Marilyn Bronson. Unlike Ted however, Tom has no desire to put on a costume and begin slinging his fists.

Back at JSA Headquarters, the team members are surprised to find Mister America's corpse lying on their meeting room table. The incident sends Starman on edge, and his gravity-control powers begin raging out of control. Power Girl eventually gets him to calm down, but he continues rambling complete gibberish. Starman warns his new teammates that a storm is coming... "a lightning storm".

As thing settle down, Doctor Mid-Nite brings Mister America’s corpse to the infirmary for examination and Courtney takes Maxine to another section of the brownstone to find a new costume. Green Lantern and Flash return, and consult with Doctor Mid-Nite who brings them up to date with everything that has taken place.

In Franklin County, a team of super-villains known as the Fourth Reich appears and begins attacking the Heywood family members. One of their members transforms Kirk Heywood into a metal statue. Hawkman shows up and begins fighting with the Fourth Reich.

Back at JSA HQ, Starman examines a mathematical theory concerning parallel dimensions developed by Mister Terrific. He completes Terrific's work, and then reveals that he himself is native to an alternate dimension.
