Convergence: Infinity Inc. #1 (2015), written by team co-creator Jerry Ordway with art by Ben Caldwell, features the original pre-Crisis Earth-Two version of the team. The issue focuses on the young heroes' personal struggles during their year trapped under the dome before thrusting them into a battle against a post-apocalyptic Jonah Hex.
Plot Synopsis
The story follows the "Infinitors" in a domed Metropolis where they have lived for a year without their superpowers.
- Life Under the Dome: The heroes have adapted to mundane lives; Jade (Jennifer-Lynn Hayden) is acting in a theater production of The Tempest, Fury (Hippolyta Trevor) has joined the police patrol, and Nuklon (Albert Rothstein) works as a mechanic.
- Internal Conflicts: The issue explores deep personal tensions, including Brainwave Jr.'s struggle with alcoholism, Jade and Obsidian's unresolved relationship with their father (Alan Scott), and the team's shared pressure of living up to the legacy of the retired Justice Society.
- The Return of Powers: When the dome is lifted by Telos, the team's powers are restored. The Star-Spangled Kid (Sylvester Pemberton) quickly reassumes leadership, organizing the team to face their assigned opponents.
- The Clash: The Infinitors travel to a domed Atlanta from the Hex Timeline. Star-Spangled Kid attempts to negotiate a peaceful truce with Jonah Hex, but the post-apocalyptic survivors, fearing death from Telos if they refuse to fight, launch a surprise attack instead.
