"A PROFESSIONAL CRININAL ALL HIS ADULT LIFE, BLACK MANTA HAS SPENT YEARS PLUNDERING THE OCEAN FLOOR..."

"...of its valuable contents. In this time, he has assembled a considerable number of henchmen, as well as bioengineering mutants he calls his Manta-Men. Little is known about the man beneath the Manta costume, save that, like most of his henchmen, he is black. "Not that racism is my motive," says Manta, "but since blacks have been suppressed for so long on the surface, they fight well for a chance to be masters below."

Spoilers for DC x Sonic the Hedgehog - Metal Legion #4!

Len only appears briefly on one page in the issue, and most of the story is about the Justice League + Sonic's crew defeat of Eggman and his Metal Legion. But the story doesn't end there, as Lex has another scheme up his sleeve -- and there's another group of Justice Leaguers who have been waiting in the wings (one of them is Aquaman, which is why Manta's excited).

An additional complication is that Lex's dimensional gates have been siphoning energy from one world to another, and if the process is disrupted it will destabilize things, which could destroy one or both Earths. So the stakes are pretty high, and the next issue will feature a battle between a huge Justice League and the Legion of Doom, with the fate of the Earth(s) hanging in the balance. It's almost enough to make both sides wish for Eggman's help with their problems!
