Where
on Earth am I?
On Earth-Prime, the Justice League of America writers
searched for a plot. They pulled out the treadmill that
the Flash once used to get back to his Earth. Cary Bates
got on it and vanished from E-Prime only to find himself
on Earth-2 in the midst of a robbery. He saw Johnny
Thunder and Robin stop the crooks, then mentally turned
their getaway car into a getaway plane.
Cary Bates realized he could alter the "reality"
of E-2.
Elliot S! Maggin, his writing partner, got on the treadmill
in hopes of finding him. He was transported to Earth-1,
where he was saved by Aquaman. Aquaman took him to the
JLA satellite, where Maggin tried to convince the rest
of the members he was telling the truth. The Flash verified
his story.
Bates, setting himself up as a supervillain, captured
the JSA. The JLA realized Bates must be on Earth-2 and
transported themselves to the alternate world. When
they arrived, they faced off against several supervillains.
Once they were defeated, they realized the "villains"
were actually the JSA made to look like villains. They
were all dead.
Avenging
Ghosts of the Justice Society
The JLA buried their would-be counterparts and set out
to find those responsible for setting them up. Elsewhere
on Earth-2, Cary Bates robbed a train and stole dozens
of gold bars. He delivered them to the Injustice Society
and referred to them as "masters."
The Justice League battled fallout at a nuclear plant;
Bates captured Maggin. The Spectre appeared and watched
the Injustice Society attack the JLA. He was granted
permission to revive the dead JSA members who were haunting
the Justice League. The Injustice Society was defeated
and the Wizard's spell over Cary Bates was broken. The
T-Bolt sent the writers back to Earth-Prime.
Crisis
in Eternity
King Kull somehow got himself a rocket / time machine
and transported himself to the Rock of Eternity. The
gods were trapped in a time stoppage, but the wizard
Shazam got a message out to Mercury about Kull's plan
- genocide against humankind. Mercury enlisted the JLA:
Superman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkman,
and Hawkwoman to help stop Kull. On Earth-2, he grabbed
Batman (out of retirement), Robin, Wonder Woman, Flash,
Green Lantern, and Johnny Thunder; from Earth-S, Spy
Smasher, Bulletman and Bulletgirl, Mr. Scarlet, and
Pinky. They were all gathered and told of Kull. Mercury
split them up and sent them all back to their own Earths
in order to combat the coming crisis.
On Earth-2, Wonder Woman (e2) and Superman (e1) encountered
a rogue Amazon who'd enslaved some supervillains. Superman
was captured. Wonder Woman rescued him and defeated
Queen Clea. Green Arrow (e1) and Spy Smasher (eS) defeated
Penguin and Ibac. Superman, with his telescopic vision,
saw a strange pink cloud over Atlantis (which on e2
had returned to the surface). It rained down on the
continent, causing it to sink. Superman used his super
breath to crystallize the cloud, and then punched it
into space.
Kull's plan for Earth-2 had been stopped.
Crisis
on Earths
Nature was completed turned inside-out on Earths Batman
and Robin of Earth-2, Bulletman and Bulletgirl of Earths,
Hawkman and Hawkwoman of Earth-1, and Mr. Scarlett and
Pinky of Earths battled the craziness which seemed to
follow Dr. Light, Shade, Joker, and the Weeper. The
heroes emerged victorious by forcing the two satellites
which were causing the natural (and unnatural) disasters
to collide and destroy one another.
Crisis
in Tomorrow
Mr. Atom, a nuclear powered robot, attacked Earth-1.
The god Mercury, Ibis (of Earths), the two Flashes (Earths-1
and 2) and two Green Lanterns (e1, e2) focused on it.
Brainiac joined Mr. Atom from his space ship above the
Earth (1). Ibis almost single-handedly defeated both
Brainiac and Mr. Atom while the GLs and Flashes saved
bystanders. Once they were victorious, all three Earths'
heroes headed to the Rock of Eternity.
The Marvel Family was transformed by Johnny Thunder's
thunderbolt (since Shazam was still trapped in time);
they joined the heroes on the Rock. Captain Marvel used
his magic to break the spell over Superman (he'd been
maddened by red Kryptonite), and the heroes defeated
Kull.
Crisis
in the 30th Century
The JLA and JSA were gathered on the JLA satellite orbiting
Earth-1. They'd just captured the Psycho Pirate. As
the JSA prepared to go to their own Earth, two giant
hands reached in and grabbed up ten of them: Earth-1's
Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Black
Canary; and Earth-2's Dr. Fate, Power Girl, Flash, Green
Lantern, and Hawkman. When they were released, Superman
realized they'd been transported into the 30th Century.
The hands belonged to the evil sorcerer Mordru. He'd
attempted to grab three mystical objects, but the heroes
stood in his way.
They all attacked, but were no match for the mighty
wizard. Dr. Fate cast a spell of suggestion and Mordru
tasked the ten with fetching his items in return for
their own lives. He held Canary and GA as hostages to
insure they would all return. Dinah realized Dr. Fate's
suggestion had sent the others to the same places where
Legionnaires had been lost on the same quest.
Dr. Fate, Superman, and Hawkman soon arrived where Sun
Boy and Wildfire had been trapped. They secured the
Silver Wheel of Nyorlath for Mordru.
The two Green Lanterns and Batman went after the Bell
of Uthool. Brainiac 5 and Princess Projectra were there
pleading with the natives for the bell. It was keeping
dragons away from their land and they would not let
it go. Batman devised a plan - a scarecrow. Projectra
showed them an image of the dragons' natural predators,
and the GLs carved an uninhabited planet to look like
one. The natives gave the heroes the magic bell.
Flash (e2) and Power Girl went after the Red Jar of
Calythos. In no time, it was in their possession. Mordru
received the magical items and conjured their corresponding
demons. The demons defeated Mordru and moved to destroy
the objects which were used to imprison them.
Crisis
in Triplicate
The JSA and JLA hurdled back in time while Green Arrow
and Black Canary remained imprisoned in the 30th Century.
The demons destroyed their avatars; the Legion attempted
to get Mordru's physical form reunited with his spirit.
The demons could not decide on what to do - all wanted
a different fate for Earth (leave it as it is, rule
it, destroy it). They summoned the JLA and JSA back;
each chose a team to pit against each other (the third
being the Legion). As they battled, the teams (secretly)
began to break free of their mind control. Two of the
demons began fighting each other, and they were both
destroyed. Dr. Fate absorbed the released magics then
defeated the third.
As Superman carried his comrades back through the time
barrier, Green Lantern (Hal) used his ring to cause
everyone to forget their experiences in the 30th Century.
