They, too, discover the villains have Starro’s on them and they begin removing them which causes the villains to lose consciousness. Ivo explains that thirteen true immortals (undetectable by magicks) exist at any one time. He is one of them but wants to die. He has orchestrated the capture of the Red Tornado android to convert it into armor. Ivo will transfer his immortality to another who needs the upgraded armor to survive the process.

In the Batcave, the five heroes decide to track the Starro signal back to its source.
Green Lantern finds the Red Tornado android and severs the connections during a memory dump/programming. The android is now the new Amazo and it begins to absorb Green Lantern’s ring’s power. It knocks the three heroes down and flies off just as Red Tornado arrives. Tornado is punched by the shadowy mastermind of the operation and the intended recipient of the immortality transfer…Solomon Grundy.
