Mary continues her investigation into the missing people in The New Champion of SHAZAM! #3 only to discover the number of missing is far greater than anyone realizes, but because most of the missing are homeless they aren’t garnering the attention they deserve. We also get introduced to Uncle Dudley and a scientist at Mary’s college who, giving the foreshadowing and Mary’s discovery about medical experiment dates lining up with missing people, certainly suggests the brain behind what is going on.
