Line 4:
* Wesley Dodds A.K.A. the '30s Sandman coming out of retirement in [[Starman (Comic Book)|Starman]] #22. The splash panel of the last page where he decides to put on the costume one last time and rescue Jack, even if it kills him (he's in his 80s) certainly qualifies.

* Solomon Grundy's gentle incarnation, or Solly, had a chain of completely awesome moments: the Infernal Doctor Pip, an insane arsonist, was demolishing building after building in Opal. So Jack goes to stop him; in the process, Pip escapes, and Jack is trapped in a crumbling building as it collapses. Just when he thinks he won't make it, the debris stops... and it's Solly, repaying Jack's kindness by holding the debris for long enough for Jack to escape. He then falls himself, crushed under the weight. With the help of the Floronic Man, Batman, Green Lantern and Jack go into a [[Battle in
* The Infernal Doctor Pip, maimed and nearly killed in the blast that killed Solly, prepares to destroy a crowded building as his swansong. Just as Green Lantern, Starman and the regular police fail to stop him in the wake of losing their powers on an unrelated event, the Shade appears, and uses his shadow powers to dump the Infernal Doctor Pip in eternal darkness.
* On one corner: Doctor Phosphorus, an irradiated, nigh-indestructible monster with flame powers capable of melting steel with his bare hands. On the other: elderly scientist Ted Knight. Phosphorus is utterly owned by the frail, aged nerd. [[Rule of Three|Three times]].
