Crisis
on Earth-One
The JLA split up in three teams to take on a trio of
villians. Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, and Atom went
after Felix Faust. Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern
went after Cronos. Superman, Flash, and Green Arrow
sought out Dr. Alchemy.
On another Earth, the JSA (Atom, Black Canary, Dr. Fate,
Flash, Green Lantern, HawkMan, Hourman) gathered for
the first time in 12 yars. They also split up into three
teams to take on their villains.
The JLA's villains all simply vanished after grabbing
their loot. Somewhere between Earth-1 and Earth-2, they
met up with the JSA villains to boast about their victories.
They planned on trading Earths so that the superheroes
would not know them. The Fiddler had trapped by Flashes
(Jay Garrick and Barry Allen).
The Earth-2 villains met up on Earth-1 and challenged
the JLA (masquerading as their Earth-1 counterparts).
They announced where they were to the League and defeated
them and used magic to trap them in their own headquarters.
Using a magic crystal ball given to them by Merlin,
the JLA contacted their Flash and learned what had happeened.
The JSA were then transported to Earth-1. They sent
the JLA to Earth-2. Each team could now fight their
own villains, but on the wrong Earth.
The two Green Lanterns teamed up to find the Flashes.
Crisis
on Earth-2
On Earth-1, Hourman and Atom took down Fiddler; Dr.
Fate grabbed Icicle; and Hawkman and Black Canary teamed
up to stop the Wizard.
On Earth-2, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, and the
Atom stopped Felix Faust; Batman and Wonder Woman captured
Dr. Alchemy; Aquaman and Superman nabbed Cronos.
The two GLs found the Flashes and attempted to free
them. When they did, a trap was sprung, placing all
the JLA and JSA members in magic cages in deep space.
They were able to escape and get back to Earth-2 before
the six villains could cause any more havoc. After a
battle, the combined forces of the JLA and JSA were
victorious.
Crisis
on Earth-3
Earth-3, home of the Crime Syndicate of America (Johnny
Quick, Superwoman, Owlman, Power Ring, and Ultraman),
is much different than the two known Earths (1 &
2). Major events in history took place in reverse of,
or with a much different outcome. Ultraman, after gaining
a new power from being near Kryptonite, was able to
see into Earth-1. He told the group about it and they
planned to attack - their lives were getting dull with
no one to stand in the way of their crimes.
The CSA began their assault on Earth-1. Flash encountered
Ultraman. He attempted to use green Kryptonite on him,
but through it, Ultraman gained heat vision. Batman
moved in on Johnny Quick; Superman went at Power Ring;
Wonder Woman and Superwoman battled; Green Lantern dealt
with Owlman. Each of the JLA memebers seemed to be victorious,
but the CSA all muttered the term "Volthoom"
as they were being taken down.
The JLA awakened on Earth-3, defeated by the CSA. The
CSA decided they wanted to fight them on neutral ground,
so they bound them to Earth-3 with magic and prepo JLA
and was able to break their magic bindings long enough
to get a heads-up on the upcoming threat.
The
Most Dangerous Earth of All
Hawkman defeated Johnny Quick; Dr. Fate defeated Power
Ring; Dr. Mid-Nite defeated Owlman; Black Canary defeated
Superwoman; and Starman defeated Ultraman. Instead of
placing the word "volthoom" as their trigger
back to Earth-3, Power Ring set it up so that when someone
said that they'd won, they would be transported. The
CSA stood above the JSA on Earth-3, victorious.
The JLA were sucked back to Earth-2 and used the CSA's
own powers against them. By overloading their opponents
with power, they emerged victorious.
Green Lanter broke their final booby-trap and placed
them in limbo between Earth-2 and Earth-3. The JLA freed
the JSA and the heroes returned to their homes.
Earth
Without a Justice League
Earth-2's Johnny Thunder wanted to meet his Earth-1
counterpart. He commanded his Thunderbolt to take him
there. The Earth-1 Johnny Thunder sucker punched him
and took control of the being. It encountered the Flash
after being told to rob a nearby business. The Thunderbolt
escaped, and was then told to go back in time and prevent
the JLA from becoming superheroes. The Thunderbolt altered
the timeline and events that created the JLA members,
thus creating another alternate Earth, Earth-A.
Dr. Fate sought out the JSA's missing member, Johnny
Thunder. He found him on Earth-1 - knocked out. His
Thunderbolt had been hijacked. Fate took the JSA to
what he believed to be Earth-1, but once they got there,
there was no JLA. They captured that Earth's Johnny
Thunder's gang, but Johnny and the Thunderbolt escaped.
They checked with the people who would have been the
JLA, and none of them had acquired superpowers. The
JSA changed costumes and masqueraded as Earth-1's JLA.
They found and attacked Johnny Thunder and the Thunderbolt.
They again escaped. Thunder ordered the t-bolt to take
his gang back in time and have them take the place of
the men who would be the JLA. When the JSA found him,
they were attacked by the new JLA.
Crisis
on Earth-A
The JSA easily defeated the new gangster-JLA. Johnny
Thunder commanded his Thunderbolt to create both a hurricane
and earthquake. The JSA survived both. He then had the
Thunderbolt wisk them both to the moon, and created
air on it so he could still command the being.
The JSA went back in time, but failed to re-create the
JLA members. As they neared the moon, Johnny Thunder
had the Thunderbolt create him three superheroes of
his own.
Thunder realized he was defeated and ordered his Thunderbolt
to return everything to the way it was before they met.
The JSA was returned to Earth-2, and the JLA had been
created on Earth-1.
Crisis
Between Earth-1 and Earth-2
Hawkman (of E-1) went after some fur robbers in a truck.
A fog surrounded him and he found himself chasing an
armored car. Sandman (of E-2) went after an armored
car only to find it was a fur truck. Dr. Mid-Nite, after
some bank robbers, found himself on E-1 facing off against
the Flash. A similar fate was bestowed on Batman when
he was displaced to E-2 to find Wildcat.
Others around the globe(s) began switching earths, including
Black Canary, Solomon Grundy, and Blockbuster. The heroes
on Earth-1 defeated Solomon Grundy. The Spectre encountered
a being from the anti-matter universe in space.
The Spectre, after being defeated by the anti-matter
creature, noticed Earth-1 and Earth-2 were about to
collide. He placed himself between the two and held
them apart. The heroes on Earth-2 defeated Blockbuster
by having Batman unmask - Bruce Wayne had saved the
brute's life once before.
The
Bridge Between Earths
Grundy and Blockbuster were displaced when the Atom
(Ray Palmer) turned off his assistant's new machine.
He was also able to change size. Dr. Fate got a message
from the Spectre. He coated his team with magic and
headed them into battle.
The Atom was able to get himself to the Spectre. He
shrank the being and expaneded him, putting both Earths
back in their normal space. The two then headed to the
anti-matter being.
The shockwaves from the explosion blasted the being.
All the heroes returned to their own Earth along with
their displaced foes.
