Synopsis
RETURN FROM FOREVER! The Atom, Aquaman, and Elongated Man become involved in a case which takes place simultaneously with the other members' battle against the Manhunters. The Construct, a mechanoid being whose intellect is a coalescence of Earth's electronically overloaded airwaves, has sent his robot henchmen, called Cannons, to apprehend Willow, a mysterious woman from an alternate Earth, who seeks the three heroes' help. While Aquaman and Elongated Man deal with the threat to the city of Miami, the Atom teams with Willow in a direct confrontation with the Construct. In the process, the Construct is apparently destroyed, the Atom learns the secret of Willow's past, and he overcomes an inferiority complex which had undermined his fighting efficiency.
