Earth
- the Monster-Maker
On Earth-1, Batman arrived at the JLA headquarters with
the Flash, who appeared to be dead. He came to for a
short period and mentioned something about an alien.
The JLA caught up with Robin, who was already working
the case.
On Earth-2, Robin found Green Lantern. He'd been attacked
by an alien child and had lost his ring. The JSA convened
and temporarily joined with the JLA. Both Robins were
injured by the child, and GL (Hal) sent them to the
Batcave via his ring. On the other Earth, the alien's
pet attacked and took down both Supermen and Flash (Jay).
They regrouped and trapped the being.
The alien child escaped the heroes and bumped into Solomon
Grundy. Together, they KO'ed the JLA / JSA team-up.
Solomon
Grundy, the One and Only
The heroes were able to escape Grundy and the alien
child, while the other aliens sought their missing companion.
In the Earth-2 Batcave, its Robin gave the Earth-1 Robin
a new costume - one he used to wear. They caught the
trail of the alien child and contacted the JSA, who
were tending their wounded. The two Hawkmen joined them
and regained Green Lantern's (Alan) ring. Earth-1 Robin
was able to calm the child. The Green Lanterns took
down Solomon Grundy together. The Robins realized the
alien child was dying and thought to put it with the
other. They traveled to the other Earth, and the symbiotic
alien duo revived each other. Their ship arrived and
took them away.
Robin of Earth-1 kept the other's old costume as the
heroes parted ways.
The Unknown Soldier of Victory
The JLA got together to celebrate their 100th meeting.
As they were about to cut their "birthday"
cake, they were teleported to the JSA headquarters on
Earth-2. Dr. Fate and Hourman showed the group an evil
hand that was set to crush the earth in 48 hours. The
magicians (Fate, T-Bolt, and Zatanna) got together and
summoned the Oracle. The Oracle told them the "Nebula
Man" had been defeated once before, by the Seven
Soldiers of Victory. The Seven no longer existed on
either Earth-1 or Earth-2. He opened seven doors for
the JSA / JLA to enter and search.
Dr. Fate, the Atom, and Elongated Man found the Crimson
Avenger in ancient Mexico. He believed he was the sun
god and ruled the Aztecs. Dr. Fate was able to destroy
the piece of the Nebula Man and break it's spell. The
Oracle brought them back to the present.
The
Hand that Shook the World
Diana Prince, the powerless Wonder Woman of Earth-1,
briefed Earth-2's Robin, Green Lantern, and Mr. Terrific
when they arrived at JSA headquarters. Superman, Sandman,
and Metamorpho found the Shining Knight in ancient China.
He was Genghis Khan's secret weapon. They were able
to nab him and get back to their time.
Hawkman, Wonder Woman, and Dr. Mid-Nite found themselves
in the English countryside being attacked by archers.
They convinced the "merry men" they were friendly
and returned home with Green Arrow.
Batman, Starman, and Hourman found Stripesy in ancient
Egypt. He had been enslaved and was helping build a
great pyramid. The three heroes were captured. They
escaped and freed Stripesy before returning to their
own time.
Back at the JSA headquarters, the Iron Hand crept up
behind Diana Prince.
And
One of Us Must Die
Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Johnny Thunder rescued
the Vigilante from a Native American tribe. Aquaman,
Wildcat, and Green Lantern (Hal) nabbed the Star-Spangled
Kid from a group of cavemen. Flash (Barry), Zatanna,
and Red Tornado faced off against the witch Circe and
won. They returned to the present with Speedy. All Seven
were now accounted for. After Diana smashed Iron Hand's
iron hand, the Seven were able to recreate the weapon
they first used to destroy the Nebula Man. Red Tornado
sacrificed himself and destroyed the menace as well.
Crisis
on Earth-X
The JLA and JSA, on their respective Earths, built identical
transmitter machines in hopes they could travel between
the two more easily. Each tested on three members: the
JLA sent Green Arrow, Batman, and Elongated Man. The
JSA sent Sandman, Dr. Fate, and Superman. All six were
lost. They arrived at the same location and were met
by Red Tornado, who'd somehow survived his battle with
the Nebula Man and stowed away in one of the transmitters.
They were spotted by Nazi war tanks. As they were about
to be defeated, costumed heroes calling themselves the
Freedom Fighters arrived and saved them. Back at their
headquarters, Uncle Sam explained to them that the US
had lost WWII recently after the Nazis developed a mind
control weapon. Only he, the Human Bomb, Doll Man, the
Ray, the Black Condor, and the Phantom Lady had been
immune to it.
Dr. Fate used his magic to locate the three mind control
devices. They split up into teams to destroy them. Fate,
Batman, the Ray, and Human Bomb took on Paris. They
destroyed it atop the Eiffel Tower.
Thirteen
Against the Earth
Superman, Doll Man, Green Arrow, and Phantom Lady were
teleported to Mt. Fujiyama in Japan. Germany turned
on Japan after winning the war and placed a mind control
device atop the mountain. They destroyed the device,
but like the first one, it seemed to have no affect
on the people. Black Condor, Sandman, Uncle Sam, and
Elongated Man went after the device near Mt. Rushmore.
They destroyed it and were teleported back to the others.
Back at the Freedom Fighters' base, they were accused
by the JSA / JLA team of treason. Red Tornado realized
the mind control was still working and flew to a satellite
where he found a forth. His vibrations dropped the satellite
from orbit, destroying the forth mind-control device.
Once he made it back to the base, they used part of
the master device to create a way home.
The Creature in the Velvet Cage
Some JLA members met on Earth-2 and helped the JSA take
down the Horned Owl Gang. Abruptly, Sandman got in a
car and left. They found him at his home, which had
been partially destroyed. He told them the story of
Sandy, his former sidekick: an experiment years before
had gone wrong and he was horribly changed and disfigured.
Sandman had kept the boy locked up below his home. He'd
now escaped. The combined JLA / JSA went after him.
Superman, Elongated Man, and Hourman found him crashing
a wedding. They subdued him, but he turned to sand and
escaped. He also escaped Flash (Jay), Batman, and Wonder
Woman (E2). Green Lantern (Hal) and Sandman were able
to momentarily stop him while the rest of the team arrived.
When they did, and earthquake occurred, and again, the
monster escaped. Superman stopped the earthquake with
Wonder Woman's lasso. After the threat cleared, Sandy
appeared to them again - he had been out to stop the
earthquake, as the vibrations had awakened him and caused
him great pain. He then told the group he'd regained
himself from the original madness from his transformation
years ago. Sandman was destroyed and walked away. Wonder
Woman believed Amazonian science could cure him.
