The JSA responded to the hostile takeover by attacking Kahndaq and Black Adam's group, which included two other Infinitors; Nuklon, now going by the name Atom Smasher and Brainwave Jr. as well as a new Nemesis and Eclipso. The conflict resulted in Hawkman ripping off one of Northwind's wings, but thanks also to some form of advanced healing the Feitherans have gained, Northwind has already recovered it. Around this time, Northwind and many of his people temporarily follow the powered being 'Magog', who had been spreading blessings throughout Africa. The Spectre attacked Khandaq, which resulted in the death of some Feitherans. However, Northwind appeared in the background of Infinite Crisis #7 (June 2006), fighting against the villains who are causing a rampage on Metropolis.

Although Adam is a main character in the miniseries 52, which fills in the gap between the end of Infinite Crisis and the then-current "One Year Later" status of all DC comics, Northwind did not make an appearance in the series. Powers and abilities Born with his wings, Northwind has the ability to fly, with Olympic level athletic prowess and agility. He appears to have advanced regenerative abilities, as well as superhuman strength and stamina. He also possesses what he calls "migra-power", an inborn migration sense which enables him to fly long distances and not get lost. He can also communicate with birds and sense approaching weather patterns. In the early issues of Infinity, Inc., he used to carry a "Globlass Gun", an energy weapon from his native Feithera that causes a person caught in its beam to lose balance. Due to his training under his grandfather Worla, Norda is now a master of Feitheran magic which gave him the ability to project mystic flame from his palms. In his new man-hawk form, he carries a spear as his primary weapon. Appearance Northwind's current appearance is similar to Hawkman's in the Elseworlds comic Kingdom Come. Between the time of the cancellation of Infinity Inc. and his reappearance in a different form in both JSA and Hawkman (vol. 4), Northwind appeared briefly in a
