The heroes hoped that they could lure the Sun-Eater away by creating a "second sun". The second strategy proved just as unsuccessful. As the device reached critical mass, Takion used his time-distortion powers to move everyone to a safe distance. The Sun-Eater proved too powerful for the device however, and it caused the internal circuitry of the Boom-Tube to overload. At the urging of his wife, Big Barda, Miracle created a gigantic Boom-Tube, designed to shunt the Sun-Eater to an alternate location away from Earth. Mister Miracle was the first to develop a strategy to stop the threat of the Sun-Eater.
The Legion proved invaluable as they had historical references to draw upon, documenting the demise of Earth's sun (unfortunately information from the future relating to the 20th century was not always reliable). Also in attendance were the Legion of Super-Heroes, a group of teen heroes from the 30th century. Although Luthor's motives were born largely out of self-interest, he also recognized the seriousness of the situation and agreed to set aside old grudges in order to save the Earth. Among the assembled characters was longtime Superman adversary, Lex Luthor. Many of Earth's heroes convened for a special session in the hopes of developing a solution for this pending crisis. As its name implied, this artificially created black hole was en route to Earth to literally consume Earth's sun. In September of 1996, an alien refugee by the name of Dusk crash-landed in Metropolis' West River on Earth to warn the planet of the coming of an entity known as a Sun-Eater.
