Synopsis:
Captain Atom visits the Justice League Paris embassy where Elongated Man tells him that Black Manta has been active in the Florida Keys. Captain Atom's family is vacationing there, so he joins them as added protection. While scuba diving, Adam and his son Randy are captured by Black Manta. They are pitted against a machine that Black Manta recovered from the alien invasion. Captain Atom makes short work of the machine and Black Manta. He then takes Randy back to their boat to continue their vacation.
