Following the Fleet's transport to another realm via a mysterious [[black hole]], Adama is rendered unconscious and is mentally attacked by {{alt|Iblis}}, who feeds Adama alternate versions of the [[Battle of Cimtar]] and other mind-warping events to break down his mental defenses ({{comics|vol3|1}}). Using his mental powers, Adama reaches out to {{alt|Apollo|TOS}}, and Apollo is able to bring Adama back into consciousness—while possessed by Iblis ({{comics|vol3|4}}). With Apollo's help, Adama is able to break free of Iblis' influence and, with the help of [[Seraphs]], leads the Fleet back into their own universe and into a new peace with the {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} ({{comics|vol3|5}}). | |||
