All of Mirror Master's mirror images needed to meet two conditions to be created.
The first is the mirror gun in his hand; all of the Mirror Master's tricks come from this weapon, which was created by mistake.
The second is a mirror, but of course it doesn't have to be a mirror, glass or calm water will do.
Without one, the Mirror Master's powers would be nullified.
Therefore, McCulloch is very good at hiding the vital mirrors, and even a fly on the wall will not find his mirrors.
However, the range of the Mirror Gun is rather limited, with a range of only about 500 metres, so if you can find a way to destroy all the mirrors within a 500-metre radius, then McCulloch will be powerless to resist.
As for how to find all the mirrors, Yuri had a very good idea.
As we all know, glass objects such as mirrors, while they are certainly well heat resistant, are extremely prone to cracking when they are suddenly cold and then suddenly hot.
The place had just recently experienced a clash between the Weather Wizard and Captain Cold, with temperatures dipping below freezing at one point, and now Yuri had started a fire, with flames of thousands of degrees Celsius heating up the scene dramatically.
And the result of this is ...
*Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
As far as the eye could see, all the glass in the field exploded, whether it was the glass windows on the nearby buildings or the mirrors McCulloch had hidden in his mirror doppelganger.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Mirror Master in the field disappeared at the same time, leaving the last real body standing alone inside.
It was thanks to the Mirror Master's combat suit that it was specially made to withstand very high temperatures, otherwise he would have been dehydrated in this environment.
Mirror Master had figured out what the flameman were trying to do, but he hadn't moved fast enough to activate the mirror transmission in time.
Now all the mirrors were in pieces and there was no way for him to get inside.
Yuri flew above him with a calm look on his face and said from above, "Mirror Master, do you remember that you framed the Pied Piper?"
"What are you talking about? I don't know, it's common knowledge that Pied Piper killed his parents with his own hands."
Mirror Master said with a twinkle in his eye and a slight smile.
From past experience, every time they were defeated by a superhero, that was the end of the matter, and the normal judicial process awaited them next.
Mirror Master knew exactly what to say to get a lighter sentence.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Yuri and superheroes were not on the same side.
Seeing that McCulloch was planning to talk tough, Yuri frowned and didn't bother talking to him anymore. He then let out a pillar of fire onto McCrouch in a continuous stream of output.
Although the Mirror Master's suit was well insulated, it had a limit, and Yuri's flames continued to heat up, easily exceeding that limit.
The combat suit gradually began to melt, becoming so hot that it clung to Mirror Master's skin like glue to death.
"Ahh!!! What are you doing?!!"
Mirror Master felt like he had fallen into a frying pan, his whole body badly burned.
"I'm going to give you two choices."
Yuri stretched out his hand.
"First, you admit your guilt, prove the Pied Piper innocent, and go live in Iron Heights prison for a few decades; second, I'll burn you alive right now."
"What! This ... you, you wouldn't do that, superheroes don't kill people!"
A sense of fear rose up from Mirror Master's mind, he couldn't believe that a superhero would kill someone.
"Is that so?"
Yuri smiled wryly, controlling the temperature of his flames to rise again, causing Mirror Master's howls of misery to grow more and more violent.
"What makes you think that I'm a superhero?"
Mirror Master rolled frantically on the ground in a vain attempt to roll out the flames on his body, or to lower the temperature slightly.
Yet delusions of grandeur were only delusions after all.
Now, Mirror Master finally realised that Yuri wasn't kidding him, he was really going to die!
"Stop! Please! Stop now, I confess! I was the one who killed his parents with a mirror image disguised as the Pied Piper!"
Mirror Master shouted like a madman, with his life at stake, jail was naturally the better option.
"Very well, the most important thing in being a man is honesty, if you fail to keep your word when the time comes ... I will find you and you should know what will happen then."
Yuri put away the flames and Mirror Master barely recovered his life.
He now looked miserable, with only pieces of his combat suit remaining, almost fused to his skin.
The exposed parts of his body were all skinned, some even blackened, and smelled of flesh.
Yuri landed on the ground, picked up his mirror gun and loaded it up, then grabbed Mirror Master and tied him up in a place where he would be less likely to get caught in the ripples before heading over to Wally's direction.
The battle between Wally and Magenta had spread far and wide, with the two fighting from nearby to two kilometres away.
There were potholes along the way, and all sorts of messy metal objects had either plunged into the ground or smashed a deep crater in it.
By the time Yuri reached Wally's location, he found that the battle was over.
Wally was carrying Magenta, who had passed out, and placing her on the roof of a building that was still in good condition.
With Magenta were Murmur and Axel, each tied up.
Even Girder were here - Wally had filled the mess of iron into a large metal bucket.
I have to say that Wally was still a lot faster than Yuri.
So much had been done in that little time.
"Done with Mirror Master?" Wally asked.
"Wouldn't I be useless if I hadn't taken care of a Mirror Master by now?"
Yuri said with a wave of his hand.
"Kid Flash, does something seem odd to you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The Blacksmith."
Yuri frowned and said, "As the leader of the New Rogues, with all of her men defeated by us, it doesn't seem right that she's suddenly disappeared."
"There are a large number of soldiers in the network who take orders from the Blacksmith, there's no way she could have conceded defeat so simply."
At that, Wally thought for a moment and agreed, "You're right, the Blacksmith has been planning this for so long, there's no reason why she wouldn't be involved in the final showdown, unless ..."
"The New Rogues aren't here to kill you or wreak havoc, they're just a front to get your attention so that the Blacksmith's men can go on their real mission."
Yuri said with certainty, "My appearance and Captain Cold's should not have been part of the Blacksmith's plan, if you had been the one to take on the Blacksmith's New Rogues, I'm afraid you would still be in the middle of a bitter battle ... no, you would have died long ago from the initial mad virus."
"Speaking of Captain Cold, why is he here to help us?" Wally asked.
