(Final Night #2-4) -The Sun-Eater tried to snuff out Earth's sun, causing riots in Metropolis, where a mob was trying to kill Dusk, the alien who warned Earth about the Sun-Eater, blaming her for the Sun-Eater's attack. Ferro started his superhero career by stepping in and saving her. Ferro saved Wildcat's life after an overpass collapsed on him, and brought him to Warriors, which Guy Gardner had converted to a command center and hospital. Legionnaire Spark was impressed with Ferro, and gave him her flight ring to help people with. AT S.T.A.R. Labs Lex Luthor designed miniature forcefield units that would hopefully shield the Earth from the sun going nova, but they needed to be delivered via spaceship. Superman volunteered, but Ferro couldn't let such a great hero sacrifice his life, so he piloted the ship himself. Luthor's calculations were off, and the sun started going nova before Ferro could plant the forcefields. Parallax saved Ferro and brought him back to Earth, and then sacrificed himself to dispel the Sun-Eater and reignite the sun.
