This time, though, the Stone King was ready for him. He gestured with one hand. The heavy boulders
strewn across the pyramid top levitated instantly, shooting up at incredible speed. Manhunter rocked
as a granite slab that must have weighed five tons slammed into his legs. He spun to the side, out of
control.
The Stone King opened his massive mouth wide, exhaling a gusher of white-hot lava that engulfed the
falling Martian.
Where it touched J'onn, the lava cooled instantly, forming into a rapidly hardening shell. Although
vulnerable to flame, J'onn's body was impervious to great heat. But as fast as he battered his way out
of the lava cocoon, the shell reformed around him.
It's impossible to keep flying, J'onn broadcast. I'm going down.
He hit the ground with a force that disintegrated the lava cage, but left Manhunter himself
unconscious.
