Day of Vengeance #5
While Eclipso plans her next move with The Spectre under her thrall, the Shadowpact hang out in The Oblivion Bar and wonder what their next moves should be. Captain Marvel visits The Wizard Shazam, who warns him against joining the Shadowpact, as there have been many groups in the past with that name and they usually fail. Black Alice reveals that her power is to steal magical abilities of others. When Eclipso and The Spectre attack again, Black Alice attempts to use The Spectre's powers against him, but without his magical vengeance, The Spectre has no form.

Despite the increase in magical energy prvided by The Enchantress, Captain Marvel is defeated by The Spectre, but the battle leaves The Spectre nearly drained of energy. The Spectre revives Ecpliso and they retreat to parts unknown. To make matters worse, funneling all the mystical energy has turned The Enchantress evil, and the rest of the Shadowpact has to take her down. With the battle now over, Detective Chimp and Nightshade show up with Lori in tow, now known by the name Black Alice.
