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.
