Didn't Batman try to autopsy Ollie after Ollie returned from the dead?
I could see that having the effect of making Ollie just a little bit bitter about Bats

Anyway...I just pulled out IC#1 and reread it.
Ray showed up at Jean's house exactly one hour after Sue was killed.
Ray mentions that he's an hour late for his meeting with Jean.
It is also mentioned that, when Ray is subatomic, his signal device doesn't always work.
OTOH, Ray looks genuinely sad at the funeral.
There's also the fact that Ray goes with the mindwipers to capture Dr. Light, as if he's one of the group that mindwiped them in the first place.
However, whenever there is a flashback to that scene, you don't see Ray there.
Curious.

Don't forget we are talking about a guy who can become subatomic and, thus, invisible to the naked eye. Perhaps that's why he's not 'pictured'...

We do see Ray in the flashback scene. During the battle when all the Leaguers are attacking Light at once, Ray is attacking Light, along with the trick arrows, the big green boxing glove, etc.
He's also on Hawkman's shoulder when they take the vote. He's one of the ones who voted to alter Light's persona, along with Hawkman, Barry, and Zee. So, yes, he was there when they did the deed.

He's talking of that one specific image of the entire League (and Batman) fighting Dr. Light, I think.

BTW, can someone explain to me how Dr. MidNite, who is BLIND, was able to look through a microscope and see teeny tiny footprints in Sue's brain?
And don't tell me but he can see in the dark. A microscope works with a LIT object.

You understand that the lenses in his glasses allow him to see in normal conditions, right?
He's not BLIND. His eyes are attuned to different visual spectrum.

Actually, no.
I don't read JSA and my knowledge of Dr. M comes from reprints of the original golden age character.
I believe originally the character's lenses only allowed him to see in the dark.
I didn't realize it was different now.

Yeah, I would have to drag out the mini series to be able to explain it properly, but that's basically it.
You should check out the trade, actually. Matt Wagner wrote it and very little he's done that isn't worth reading.

Yep. It began life as an Elseworlds, before TPTB decided it was eligible to fit into mainstream "continuity."

It's very good. There's even a nice little tribute to Archie Goodwin (God rest his soul).

Yeah, I think I read it and didn't realize it was now a mainstream continuity book.

I note that this week's LITG repeats the rumor that its Jean.
Looking at the pages of Ray's rescue of Jean again, I am starting to lean toward this theory.
