1915: In the midst of the Great War, Anton Arcane is expelled from the Hamburg School of Medicine. His mother, Anaïs, calls him to his cousin's (Hans von Hammer's) estate. There, Hans shoots down a plane whose pilot is inhabited by the time-lost Swamp Thing. Arcane discovers the Necronomicon and the "Claw of Aelkhünd" in his cousin's museum (where Jason Blood had entrusted them). When his mother discovers him torturing the Swamp Thing, Hans shoots Anton and they free Alec to continue his journey through time. Anton heals himself, escapes with the book and begins consorting with Adolf Hitler and the other future Axis tyrants. Anton's father, Josip, dies in the war. Note: Hans von Hammer was the Enemy Ace, who first appeared in Our Army at War #151. Anaïs, bears striking resemblance to Abby. ST2 #83 (2.89)
