I see them all... hundreds.. thousands now.. and more every second..
Enchantress did it! And I'm tapped into a vast company of volunteers-- freely giving it up to her.
In the skies above Chicago, Alan Scott funnels green magic to Enchantress who sends it on into the broadcast stream. [Alan Scott is the embodiment of the star-heart, near limitless energy, the only reason he even has a form is because he wills it to be so.]
In San Francisco Zatanna lends her power through Enchantress to Captain Marvel.
In Sunken Atlantis, the Five Surviving sorcerors who escaped Spectre's destruction of their temple let enchantress take everything they've got.
Deep below the Earth, The Ten Thousand Dead Warrior Gods of Lemuria put off their ressurection for a few decades to lend their powers to the fight.
In Dayton Ohio, A most impressive mouse has been ridng in the talking monkey's pocket, building his energy to change back into The Phantom Stranger. He gladly delays his transformation to join in.
In the same way, Blackbriar Thron puts off growing his own new body. He's been our enemy many times, but he wants the Spectre gone as much as we do.
I'm surprised how many old and new enemies help.
In Istanbul, a Warlock named Johnny wants to rule the world someday, and joins us to make sure there's still a world to conquer.
And it's not just heros and villains and gods and demons that help us.
All over the world, otherwise normal people have small almost residual traces of magic energy they never knew they had.
Just enough hidden power to affect their ordinary lives in small ordinary ways.
The man who never realised the lights always turn green just as he gets to the intersection pitches in.
The whoman who never spills her cofffee or burns her eggs pitches in.
The little girl who sometimes feels as if her dolls really can talk to her pitches in... along with so man others.
And all that power flowing into one man: Captain Marvel!
Spectre: "I beat you! You were nearly drained! How!?"
CM: "I don't know Ghost, Maybe a benevolent Universe has finally had enough of you."

See the italicised line?
And still more and more poured more and more energy into him through the next comic and it eventually became too much for Enchantress to channel. Also, the those last lines of CM trading words with Spectre, leaves you to believe it was on a universal scale already towards the end of issue 3.
