The Guardians react quickly, sending a trio of Green Lanterns to help with the distribution of medical supplies and to assist in quelling panic. An investigation reveals that the plague is a genetically engineered weapon. Zarkon 3 is being attacked! The Green Lanterns begin following the trail that will lead them to a vicious mass-murderer. Along with a special police unit of Zarkonians, the three GLs take up the hunt.

Whoever is in the lead going into the last scenario is given an advantage.


SCENARIO #1: THIS LITTLE PIGGY RAN OFF TO THE (BLACK) MARKET


Following clues, the Hero follows the trail to the planet of Rigel 4, which has a thriving black market for high tech items. They encounter Braniac, who has brought a team of villains there with the intent of enhancing them with cyborg limbs and implants. Not surprisingly, a fight breaks out.

He may use any number of Dreadnaughts or Ultron figures, representing battle robots he is currently controlling. He may also use any one version of the following figures: Bizarro, Parasite, Metallo, Queen Bee, Gorilla Grodd, Solomon Grundy, Giganta, Toy Man.

BFC: The Low Gravity BFC card is in effect.


THE VILLAIN: The Villain uses any one version of T.O. Morrow. For the rest of the team, he uses any figures with the JLA team ability. These are evil clones of the real heroes, so he may use multiple copies of specific figures.

VICTORY: Calculate victory points normally.


SCENARIO #4: RUMBLE WITH A RENEGADE


Finally, the GLs and the Zarkonians manage to track down the villain responsible for the plague. The renegade GL Sinestro is behind it all—he had planned to decimate Zarkon 3, then move in with his current allies and take over as dictator.


SPECIAL: If the Hero is ahead on points, he has followed the trail to Sinestro quickly and efficiently. He is given an extra action per turn.If the Villain is ahead, then Sinestro has been given more time to prepare. He is give the extra action per turn.


MAP: Sinestro was based on an out-of-the-way planet that is orbiting far from its small sun. The first player picks either the Park map, the Swamp map from the Hellboy starter set or the Japanese Gardens map.


BFC: First player rolls one die. On a 1-3, the Darkness BFC card is in effect. On 4-6, the Deep Shadows BFC card is in effect.


THE VILLIAN: The Villain uses any one version of Sinestro. He has the option of using the Big Figure Sinestro if he prefers. He cut a deal with some of Batman’s Rogues’ Gallery for help on this job (promising them use of the ultimate hideout—another planet), so he may also use any one version each of figures with the Bat Enemy TA. (Exception: Ras al Ghul would not work for another villain, so neither he nor Talia may be used.)


VICTORY: This is it. If the Hero wins, they obtain the antidote to the plague and Zarkon 3 is saved. If the Villain wins, then Sinestro is eventually successful in his conquest of the Zarkonians.
