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.
