PLOT: Buddy Blank takes Karate Kid to Brother Eye to be examined. Brother Eye detects the Omac virus in Karate Kid and a secondary virus which causes it to identify him as the 'Great Disaster'. Piper and Trickster are caught between the JLA and the Injustice League. When they find a bomb set by the Joker they throw it at Poison Ivy before escaping in a stolen car. Hiding in the car is Ace of the Royal Flush Gang who threatens them with death if they don't help him escape. The Cadmus Lab testing of Jimmy Olsen causes his powers to activate; he separates into two people, one of which escapes the lab. The Challengers with the Jokester travel to Earth-15 where they encounter versions of themselves who have replaced their mentors. Ray Palmer is not on this Earth and they proceed to another. Holly Robinson is travelling to Paradise Island with other trainees. Their training starts by swimming from the boat through shark-infested waters to the island.
