She is rescued from the sea by newsreel reporter Johnny Chambers (Johnny Quick), who takes her back to America to live with her aunt and uncle in Florida. Notes: The Fury was not a Golden Age character; she was created to take the place of the Earth-2 Wonder Woman in post-Crisis continuity. This is her first chronological appearance; her first appearance in print was as an image in Infinity, Inc. #35 (1987).

The Star-Spangled Kid finds herself inside the Amulet, where she encounters the spirits of Kent and Inza Nelson. Kent helps her use the Scarab's Scarabaeus as the catalyst for the baby to become Dr. Fate IV. Note: The Scarab first appeared in The Scarab #1 (11.93); he was a retconned Golden Age hero.

The new JSA takes up residence in Wesley Dodds' former mansion in Manhattan. Sand collapses into a pile of... sand! Note: Hector Hall was originally said to have been born without a soul. So how can he be reincarnated?
