The final battle between Ultra-Humanite, the Stream-controlled JSAers, and Infinity Inc. The battle is won, but at a cost as Brainwave Jr.'s dad sacrifices his life so that the Humanite can be defeated by the Infinitors. The team then destroys the Stream once and for all before the JSAers can redrink its waters and become permanently evil. The JSAers then slowly begin to return to normal, aware of what had happened under the Stream's 'influence'.
