''DC One Million''
In the 853rd century, the progenitor of the Superman dynasty, Superman, is about to return from his solar Fortress of Solitude after several centuries. As part of the festivities, the Justice Legion Alpha travels back in time to recruit the ancient Justice League of America. After arriving at the end of the 20th century, Kal Kent and the Justice Legion convince the League to go to the future and participate in trials as part of the celebration. Before they leave, Kal helps Superman stop a prison riot at Belle Reve; during this incident he references fighting the Chronovore with the Superman Squad.Following the League's departure, Hourman releases the "Hourman virus" which infects not only people, but technology. It is revealed that the virus is an early version of Solaris' artificial intelligence. The virus is spreading because Solaris is looking in all technology and organisms for its body. To cure the world and save it from Solaris, the JL-Alpha has to create Solaris. Once in his body, Solaris becomes self-aware. Starman sacrifices himself to banish Solaris by creating a black hole. With the JL-Alpha's time machine unable to reach the 853rd century, Superman Secundus punches through the time barrier to bring the Legion back to the 853rd century. They arrive in time for Superman-Prime's arrival and the final destruction of Solaris.
