Green Lantern is rendered blind by his own power ring from a post-hypnotic suggestion introduced during the REM phase and the ring placed on him while he was asleep.Without water, he would die in a matter of hours. Aquaman is rendered aquaphobic due to an altered form of the Scarecrow's fear toxin.Plastic Man is frozen with liquid nitrogen and then shattered.

Martian Manhunter is covered with nanites that convert the outer layer of his skin into magnesium, causing him to burst into flames (fire being his greatest weakness) upon exposure to air.

His files are stolen by the criminal mastermind Ra's al Ghul, who uses them to defeat the League through a coordinated attack in order to prevent them from interfering with his latest scheme toward reduction of the global population. Tower of Babel deals with Batman's perceived betrayal of the superhuman community by keeping and concealing hidden records concerning the strengths and weaknesses of his allies in the JLA, which include plans to neutralize his allies in a fight. There is nothing inherently exciting about an adolescent boy narrating a podcast about himself (albeit as a demigod), but Waid uses the concept to explore self-image and establish Billy's identity as both teen and superhero, while Mora ensures the issue remains a vibrant visual story.Tower of Babel is a 2000 comic book storyline that ran in the DC Comics monthly series JLA #43–46. Much of this work is narrated by Billy in captions juxtaposing rich splash panels and propulsive action sequences ensuring there's always some excitement to capture the eye. That appreciation for the weird and wondrous sets a tone that even subsequent recap pages honor when explaining Shazam lore, events from 'Lazarus Planet,' and a wink about why 'The Captain' is Billy's newest alter-ego. It opens with The Captain riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex through the jungle and manages to build upon that striking image in unexpected and delightful fashion.

Captain Marvel The Captain is tasked with establishing itself while simultaneously catching readers up on recent continuity and does an admirable job of balancing the tasks without ever losing its momentum to exposition. The newest series featuring Billy Batson a.k.a.
