Kid stumbles upon the scene, and calls on some help to take down False Face and his goons:
Sadly, False Face doesn't use his powers in any particularly interesting way, and when he does, artist Pete Riss doesn't do a particularly good job of portraying the different faces. So, sorta meh.
Still, the Kid is cheesed--justice has failed. What can he do?
Of course, the problem is, False Face has already been acquitted for the crime. Even if you "frame" him, you can't try him again--double jeopardy!!
But Kid isn't listening to reason:
I'll leave for more historically informed folks to debate whether Attila was actually an evil villain or just a more effective version of the warlords common in Eurasia in those days.
But for the purposes of this story, Attila is a villain. We had found out earlier that evil people got into Eternity when they died. Now we know that Kid can summon villains to aid him.
But maybe it's not a good idea...?
Kid's powerless attempts to stop them don't work out very well, with our hero being dumped into a rooftop water tower to die!
Anyway, now Kid can summon some real help against the Hun...
But...
First of all, Attila never took Rome. So, history fail, Keeper.
Second? Even if Attila and his hordes did sack Rome, it's not like he did it by himself, right? To suggest that because an army conquered Rome, no individual Roman from any time in history would be able to beat Attila by himself is highly illogical.
Anyway, now Attila is pissed!!
And the result of this battle...?
That leaves Kid to finish off False Face by himself!
But apparently, the Kid has learned his lesson:
