			Although it was believed that Doctor Destroyer was killed in the final battle, he has since reappeared at various times in the years that followed. We have no idea if this really is Dr. Albert Zerostoiten or someone pretending to be him. He has been known to use decoys in the past and to employ many people to serve as his key lieutenant, [[Black Talon]].

			In addition, there are some that believe that Zerostoiten had no intention of killing himself or taking out Detroit in the final battle. According to one of the early followers who wore the Black Talon mech-suit, Zerostoiten had originally targeted Washington D.C., but that [[VARTECH\|some other entity]] overrode his controls and targeted the laser at Detroit. Zerostoiten's statement, then, would be one of resignation, not of determination.

The "Battle of Detroit" began on July 22nd, 1992, when students from the mystical Ravenwood Academy discovered the secret hideout of [[Doctor Destroyer]]. Realizing that it was only a matter of time before the heroes would be alerted and storm in, Destroyer initiated his "ultimate plan" of death and destruction for a world that has long scorned his genius.

He activated his Meteor Magnet, a device that would pull iron-laced meteors from the Asteroid Belt to the Earth. At the same time, he summoned all of his minions, from super-villains like '''Grond''' and '''Glacier''', to mega-monsters like '''Mega-Terak''', to his mass-produced [[Destroids|Desteroid army]]. His forces would keep the heroes busy until the meteors arrived.

The Earth's heroes mobilized on a two-part assault. While space-capable heroes raced to stop the meteors, the rest of the heroes took on Destroyer's minions. The space team managed to successfully stop the meteors, though at a cost.

The ground forces had much better luck, especially when the remaining space-based heroes joined in. On the morning of July 23rd, they stormed Destroyer's stronghold. The battle lasted for much of an hour, with a staggering number of heroes being killed in the exchange.

Finally the heroes managed to pin down Destroyer. But rather than surrender, Destroyer unleashed the final phase of his plan.
