Eterno hears this and throws Superman down so he can focus on destroying the revenge squad's ship. Eterno blasts the ship which crash lands nearby. As Eterno approaches, the Superman Revenge Squad use their atomic transmuter to convert some nuclear capsules to absorbium. They fire the absorbium pellets as Eterno approaches and paralyze him.
