Bito Wladon – Archduke of Modora invites the Elongated Man and Sue Dibny on a tour of his country. Not trusting the archduke, Ralph reluctantly agrees – if only to keep an eye on Sue. Bito continues to flirt with Sue, and Ralph's jealousy and anger continues to grow. He eventually learns that Bito is actually a super-villain known as Sonar. He plans to corner Bito with this knowledge, but before he gets the chance, the Archduke voluntarily tells him that Sonar is another man entirely, though he is a former citizen of Modora.

Meanwhile in Rome, a costumed lunatic calling himself Il Calamari begins attacking the Tariff Conference. The Elongated Man learns of the attack on a newsreel and begins packing his bags for Italy. He tries to get Sue to come with him, but she refuses to attend citing that she would prefer to stay in Modora. The two get into another fight and Ralph leaves.

In Rome, Ralph meets with members of the Pan-European Economic Conference, and gets into another scuffle with Warp and Copperhead. Il Calamari joins the fight and together they nearly defeat the Elongated Man until the timely arrival of yet another super-powered individual. The combatants look upwards in shock and Ralph screams, "You!"
