Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!!

Chancing upon an offshoot of the league in battle, the female Marvel helps out. After introducing herself, she asks one of them, the Elongated Man, for a favor. The team takes her to the watchtower where she asks J'onn to meet Wonder Woman. he kindly informs her that she is away and that she can meet her if she's willing to wait. As she agrees, J'onn introduces her to Supergirl. They quickly warm up to each other and the newly-named 'Mary Marvel' confides in Supergirl and asks her for advice on how to be set apart from her male counterpart. Catching herself before she makes a speech, Supergirl instead decides to take her on-site, to the battle that is ensuing between Wonder Woman's all-woman team and the Olympians. Supergirl informs her that J'onn picked them out, probably not realizing they were all women, and that each was there for something unique they brought to the table. as the battle took longer, Supergirl decided to help but was stopped by Mary. Mary's 'wisdom' tells her that something else is affecting the battle. Soon they find Argus, the telepath of the Olympians and easily breaks the villainous team's cohesion.

Continuity Peg-

 

Continuity References-

J'onn asks Mary to say hello to Capt. Marvel and remarks that his departure was under unfortunate circumstances.

Huntress, Hawkgirl, Crimson Avenger and Supergirl all appear in their first costumes.

Logic Out The Window

This occurred after 'Clash', as pegged by Elongated man and J'onn's remarks about Capt. Marvel, and yet we see Huntress in the team, who has supposedly been fired, and wearing her old uniform no less. We also see Shayera maskless, and yet instead of her 'track suit', we see her in Hawkgirl garb. It is noted by Paul Storrie that they do not see the comic as a part of the continuity as a whole.
