Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Three (2014) #9 Dead Man

Superman has got Constantine by the collar of his coat, pinned against the wall and angrily interrogating him for Raven's true location, while the other members of the Regime watch on. Constantine tries to act dumb, telling him that he had been "left in the dark" and that Ragman was the ringleader in the gang, mocking Superman for being short-sighted. Superman uses his heat vision in an effort to try and decapitate Constantine, but Shazam stops him, protesting that there had been too much violence already that day. Sinestro interjects, agreeing that they should keep Constantine alive for interrogation purposes as he was the only way they could locate Raven. Superman relents, throwing Constantine aside and apologising to Shazam. He also thanks him for saving his life and coming when he had called. Constantine insults Superman, calling him a "mass murderer", which Superman tries to confront, before the Spectre tells him Constantine is wanting Superman to kill him as he is protecting someone else. Superman orders Shazam to bring Constantine to the Hall of Justice as he was the only one that he truly trusted not to kill him.

As they fly towards the Hall, the Spectre senses something watching them, although is worried by the fact that he is unable to identify the force. Undetected by Superman and the others, Deadman flies right through them and possesses Shazam, telling Constantine that, although Klarion had asked him to help in case Constantine was in trouble, Batman had Deadman following him for that past week. He Deadman reveals that this was his escape plan for Constantine and parley to Jim Corrigan (the Spectre's human body), dropping Constantine, who is saved from hitting the ground by Zatanna and her large magical hat, transporting them both to safety.

Superman confronts Shazam, who is trying hard to fight Deadman's control over him. Deadman tries to make a deal with Billy Batson, that if he just lets him speak to the Spectre's human body, Jim Corrigan he will give him back his body. But Billy tells him that he doesn't need it, transforming back into his child form. Spectre catches him, know able to sense a third mind in Billy's body and exorcising Deadman. Spectre questions what he intended to do, but Deadman answers that he will only speak to Jim Corrigan on the matter. However he can't sense him, realising that the Spectre might be someone else and demanding to know who while the latter just grins.
