By himself, he helps in the fight against Eclipso in the pages of Eclipso's own series. He leads Mona Bennet and Bruce Gordon into the country of Parador, which Eclipso had conquered. For his troubles, the villain breaks both his legs and leaves him on the border. More recently he helps the Justice Society of America in retrieving Sand from deep within the earth's crust.
