Mount Bellehead, an active volcano located in Santa Prisca, an island in central America. On the side of this mountain is the secret laboratory of T.O. Morrow. T.O. Morrow was a brilliant scientist, but also considered quite mad. He has an obsession with cybernetics and fusing cyber creations with organic ones. His former assistant, Mark Mardon, made some amazing breakthroughs of his own pertaining to controlling weather. Unfortunately, a few years ago, Mardon took his devices to use in Central City and was ultimately thwarted by The Flash. Mardon now resides in Iron Heights prison. About a year ago, T.O. Morrow came across another impressive scientist, Professor Anthony Ivo. Ivo was working on something called the Amazo serum to help with physical ailments. After a breach at STAR Labs, Ivo left his position there. It was at that time Morrow reached out to Ivo and offered him a position to research more freely without the interruptions and regulations he had to follow at STAR. Today, Ivo and Morrow had constructed a few androids to test out.

"Are you sure about this?" Ivo asks.

"Let me ask you something professor, do you trust your own work?" Morrow asks.

"Of course I do." Ivo says.

"Then there should be nothing to worry about. I will use my android, Red Volcano, to cause an eruption of this volcano. The Justice League will swoop in to save the nearby city and once that is done, we can test your Amazo android to see if it can take the League's powers." Morrow explains.

"Well… okay." Ivo says.

Professor Ivo was still a little unsure of this plan. He initially created the Amazo serum to help sick individuals. However, after the debacle with The Parasite last year, T.O. Morrow reached and showed him how much more the Amazo serum could be capable of. He reminded Ivo of the exponentially growing number of enhanced individuals on Earth and the growing super human arms race. The Justice League were considered a force for good, but Bialya was the most dangerous country in the world, under the protection of Black Adam.

T.O. Morrow had constructed a few androids with varying abilities. The first one was called Red Volcano. This android was meant to have pyrokinetic abilities. Today the two scientists would test that. In theory, Red Volcano should be able to cause Mount Bellehead to erupt. T.O. Morrow brings Red Volcano online.

"Awake." Red Volcano says, in a deep cold robotic voice.

Red Volcano was a large red android with yellow accents. Its face had cutouts where a humans eyes and mouth would be, but there was nothing but a black void there.

"Excellent, Red Volcano, can you hear me?" T.O. Morrow asks.

"…Yes." Red Volcano says after a moment.

"It is time to do what you were programed for." T.O. Morrow says.

"My primary function is to create volcanic eruptions. Location indicates I am on a mountain side with potential for volcanic activity." Red Volcano says.

"Yes yes, good." T.O. Morrow says.

T.O. Morrow and Professor Ivo watch on as Red Volcano exits the lab and heads outside. It was a bright and sunny day outside in early November.

Professor Ivo was still nervous about this part. He wanted so badly to test his Amazo serum, but was uncertain about putting others in danger to do so. T.O. Morrow assured Ivo that the Justice League would save the day before anyone would be harmed. Then, the real test could begin.

Red Volcano found an isolated area outside of the lab. The android extracted metal tentacles from his body, and protruded them into the side of the volcano. Ivo and Morrow could feel the mountain side begin to shake. Smoke began to fill up the top of the volcano and into the sky. The citizens in town look on.

The ground continues to shake until… finally, the volcano erupts. The red orange lava blasts high into the sky. It then begins to roll down the side of the volcano. The towns folk begin to panic.

At the Hall of Justice, Martian Manhunter sits on monitor duty. J'onn liked monitor duty more than being active in the field. From here he usually coordinated the rest of the league. Superman walks into the room as the screen begins to flash.

"What is it?" Superman asks.

"Looks like a volcano just erupted in Santa Prisca." J'onn says.

"I can be there quickly." Superman says.

"I will scramble what members of the team I can to the Javelin. Get them there when I can." J'onn says.

Superman nods and flies off.

Professor Ivo and T.O. Morrow stand on the side of the mountain. They wear masks to protect themselves from the toxic gases. Ivo begins to panic as a trail of lava heads in their direction. Red Volcano raises his hand and uses his pyrokinetic abilities to guide the lava around them.

"Perfect!" T.O. Morrow shouts out.

Superman flies into the area. There was so much smoke in the air. The smoke concealed Ivo and Morrow on the side of the mountain. He can see the towns folk panicking in the city below. He finds a large boulder and picks it up. He chucks it into the base of the volcano and pushes it creating a divot to guide the lava away from the city and into the sea.

As Superman continues to divert the flow of lava, The Javelin arrives. Green Lantern (John Stewart), Captain Atom, and Kaldur'ahm (now taking the mantle of Aquaman) arrive.

"I'll help Superman, you two work on evacuation." Green Lantern says.

Captain Atom and Aquaman nod as they head off to their assignments.

Green Lantern creates a barrier construct from his power ring to block the lava from getting any closer to the city. Through the smoke, T.O. Morrow can see the glowing green light of the Lanterns ring.

"They're here." T.O. Morrow says.

"Red Volcano, make a path back to the lab." He continues.

Red Volcano uses his abilities to move the lava out of the way and guides them back to the lab.

"It's time professor." T.O. Morrow says to Professor Ivo.

Professor Ivo types the command into the computer to bring Amazo online.

Amazo's eyes light up. The android sits up and gets off the table. It looks around. Amazo had a humanoid body frame made up of nanotech. Amazo was all silver with two red eyes. The android was fused with an advanced version of the Amazo serum that only required scanning of a subject to take their powers. This version would also not drain the test subject.

"Go." T.O. Morrow says to the android.

Amazo takes off.

Captain Atom helps guide the civilians away from the volcano. Aquaman heads to the base of the mountain and uses his abilities to guide the sea water to the lava, in an effort to extinguish it. Luckily for Aquaman, he has a natural immunity to the gases the lava gives off. As he fights the volcano, he can see something in the smoke. He spots two piercing red eyes. As the figure comes closer, he sees the Amazo android.

"What?" Aquaman reacts.

Amazo scans Aquaman. The android then lifts its arm and blasts a stream of water at Aquaman. The water sends Aquaman flying backwards.

"Everyone, there appears to be an android here that has Atlantean abilities." Aquaman radios over to the rest of the league.

"That's a new one." Green Lantern says.

"On my way." Superman replies.

Superman flies to Aquaman's location. He spots the Amazo android. The android scans Superman. Superman flies in close. Amazo smacks Superman back and into the side of the mountain. The android then flies upward.

"Woah, this thing can fly and has super strength too." Aquaman says.

"I'm coming." Green Lantern says.

"I'll get back to lava control, Captain how are the civilians?" Aquaman asks.

"Almost clear of the city. I'll get the last few to safety." Captain Atom responds.

Green Lantern flies off. He spots Amazo flying into the air.

"Stop!" Green Lantern commands as he aims his ring at Amazo.

Amazo scans the ring. The android then produces a similar ring of its own. It blasts a beam of green light at Green Lantern. Green Lantern is able to get a shield construct up in time to block the shot.

"What the?" Lantern says.

"The city is clear, should I join you?" Captain Atom asks.

"No, stay away. Whatever this thing is, it can scan the abilities of its opponent." Green Lantern says.

The league didn't know what to do. If this thing had all of their powers, how could they fight it?
