Synopsis:
The Flash advises the President on the Kilg%re situation. He suggests shutting down all power grids across the country to starve out the creature. Kilg%re interrupts the conference and attacks. Flash gets everyone to safety, then runs to New York for help.

At Titans Tower, Wally enlists the aid of Cyborg. The Kilg%re crisis has now become an international problem. Wally maintains his belief that shutting down all power will force Kilg%re to retreat from the power systems. He and Cyborg return to Utah where they discover a cloning chamber that Kilg%re used to create the phony Professor Schmitz.

The major governments of the world agree to shut down the major power grids temporarily to flush Kilg%re out. Wally deduces that the creature will try to take refuge in the robotic Schmitz. Wally keeps the robot away from Kilg%re who chases him in the form of a metallic worm. Wally outlasts the creature, and Kilg%re exhausts itself of all power, effectively killing itself.
