Takes place June 18-20

The resurrected Prince Orm releases Oceanus the Titan from his prison. Oceanus is miles tall and controls the wind and waves; he uses these powers in an attempt to flood the Earth. Earth's Lanterns are more or less able to stop the colossal waves he sends at neighboring continents, but all counterattacks prove ineffective, even an assault by Poseidon.

!!! Short version

The Team fights Oceanus, the Titan of the seas, and Superboy defeats him by channeling the power of Helios.

!!! Longer version

Paul reveals what he knows about King Orin's son, and the Atlanteans conclude that the purpose of the attack must have been to free Oceanus, Titan of the seas, from his prison.

Returning to the Mountain, he finds that Truggs has sent mercenaries to loot and wreck the whole place. Truggs calls and warns him about Oceanus, telling him that the Light wants to motivate the nations of Earth to improve their defences -- but Lex Luthor, Truggs' direct employer, doesn't actually want Metropolis destroyed. After the conversation, Paul installs serious defences in the Mountain, then the Team starts following leads to track Orm or Truggs down.

Before they can succeed, however, the

The resurrected Prince Orm releases Oceanus the Titan from his prison, Oceanus is miles tall and controls the wind and waves. Earth's Lanterns are more or less able to stop the colossal waves he sends at neighboring continents, but all counterattacks prove ineffective, even an assault by Poseidon.

The Team tracks down the prison, defeats Orm, and removes the alterations he made, but in the fighting, too much of the structure is damaged. To recapture Oceanus, they need to first destroy his avatar. Paul flies Superboy close to the sun, where Helios floods him with power, essentially setting him in fire, and he dives through Oceanus, disrupting his body and allowing the prison to hold him again.
