The Watery War Of The Weather WizardA rash of aircraft disappearances have occurred, off the coast of Florida, in an area commonly referred to as "The Bermuda Triangle. The last aircraft to disappear was a NATO cargo plane, carrying an experimental medical device, called a "Vibrojector". Using vibrations, it is designed to slow the pulse rate of heart attack victims suffering palpitation spasms. General Horgan, of NATO, requests Aquaman's assistance in investigating the strange phenomena, with the hopes of recovering the device. Leaving Topo, the octopus, behind to babysit their infant son, Aquaman and Mera mount their investigation. Swimming in the waters of the "Bermuda Triangle", Aquaman suddenly passes into an air pocket, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The pocket has been created by the Weather Wizard, who is able to hold the waters of the Atlantis Ocean at bay, with tidal waves created with his weather wand. The Weather Wizard is in possession of the vibrojector, and plans to use it against his old foe, the Flash. Aquaman charges the rogue, only to be pelted by hailstones as big as golf balls. Telepathically summoning a school of flying fish to shield him, Aquaman continues rushing the Weather Wizard. The villain, though, has had time to activate the vibrojector, and uses it to blast Aquaman back into the ocean proper. With Aquaman unconscious and out of the fight, Mera leaps into the fray.As Mera enters the pocket, the Weather Wizard collapses the tidal waves holding open the ocean. Mera is crushed by several tons of rushing ocean water. Meanwhile, in Atlantis, a man, named McAnn, holds Aqualad and Aquagirl at gunpoint. When McAnn threatens to kill Aquagirl unless Aqualad leads him to his son, Aqualad swiftly jumps him, and disarms McAnn. Aquaman recovers from the vibrojector blast to find his wife, Mera, unconscious and seriously injured. He telepathically summons a host of marine life to carry her back to Atlantis, where she can receive medical care.
