It turns out that the "Prometheus" that Hal and the others had caught was a Clayface. Prometheus wanted to attract a whole bunch of heroes to a decoy, then set off a bomb.

The real Prometheus decides to have a talk with one of his underlings, who's curious as to what the boss has in mind.

Europe's hero population never seems to fare well when Robinson is writing, does it?

Why does this HURT SO MUCH? Seriously, WHY?

I'm supposed to swallow that Prometheus just murders three superheroes and no one notices? Well, I suppose if the JL did nothing when five of their members were killed by the new Mist, in Robinson's mind that tracks.

But I'm having a REAL HARD TIME accepting that he could manage to steal the Time Pool, the Cosmic Treadmill and a Zeta Beam generator and NO ONE would come looking for them, alert the JL or anything like that? Seriously?

I think his removing IQ's brain power is probably far more villainous than his superfluous murder of some C-listers, though you gotta wonder much of a super-genius IQ was if he fell for the old 'there's something in your drink' gag.

	Yeah, IQ does come across a a bit thick here, and that's before the brain busting bit. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Actually, the thefts of the Cosmic Wheel etc. are what set Green Lantern and co. after Prometheus in issue 1. They noticed all right. (Reply to this) (Parent)
