Two months later, Intergang took an interest in testing weapons technology capable of creating black holes.[2] To this end, they hired Parasite to procure the parts needed to build the device.[3]
After years of hiding, Mannheim made another move. With a special Apokoliptan device, he revived the four husks of the Appellaxians in the Hall of Justice. He planned to use the golem as his personal enforcer.[4]
After a fight with Blue Beetle and Superboy, the golem was destroyed by the Black Beetle. Sportsmaster attacked Mannheim and A'Daire, leaving them drooling and non-responsive. Sportsmaster told the Partner that what he did to Mannheim and A'Daire would serve as a living warning for anyone who would stray from the Light.[4]
Intergang tried to highjack a Reach warship the bottom of the ocean but were intercepted by Aquaman and the Atlanteans. Mannheim was arrested in the process but Whisper was able to escape, with Scorpia A'Daire and Cairo DeFrey, in three Reach War Bugs.[5]
Looking to sell the War Bugs on the black market, the women decided to demonstrate their weaponry on the small town of Brooklyn, Maine. The Outsiders put a stop to their plans by deactivating the Bugs and arresting the three of them.[5]
