The Mekanique Paradox
As the All-Star Squadron decides on what to do in the case of the Young All-Stars disobeying orders in order to save Helena Kosmatos (Fury) from being possessed by Tisiphone the Blood Avenger, Mekanique and Per Degaton break into the basement of the Perisphere to activate a device that would shrink the All-Star Squadron members down to doll size so that Mekanique could destroy them within a model of a futuristic city. However, as the Young All-Stars had walked out of the tribunal as the All-Star Squadron was deliberating, they were unaffected and thus were able to help Robotman destroy Mekanique's body, rendering her nearly inoperable and restoring the shrunken All-Star Squadron members to normal size. Plus, a look at the private life and sorrows of Dyna-Mite.
