Leron pursued Mera to Atlantis and engaged in battle with Aquaman, Aqualad, Mera and the water sprite Quisp. He captured them all and brought them to Xebel.
Aquaman discovered that traces of lead (as commonly found in oil) can remove the hard-water powers of people from Dimension Aqua. He made use of this knowledge and succeeded in defeating Leron.
