After partially draining the life-force of the members of the Justice League, Libra brings them back to his
satellite and gloats over the success of his machine's test-run. Knowing that his power draining machine works, Libra intends to absorb half of the energy in the entire galaxy! The power quickly becomes too great for Libra as his brain is
inundated with knowledge and concepts never before dreamed of. The power and knowledge eventually overpowers him, pulling him into a trillion different directions. Libra's
essence becomes disjointed and his his mind is fated to drift through space forever, one with the universe but eternally confused and insane with power.
The League is freed but find that although Libra may have disappeared and is no longer a threat, he has taken half of their power with him!

is able to trace back the vibrational frequency of the JLA Transmatter at the Justice League's satellite orbiting Earth. The villains arrive and take out Red Tornado before using the transmatter once again to teleport them
to a museum on Earth.
There they hunt down and steal an artifact from the museum in Israel which will help restore their souls
that remain trapped in the space between worlds. When the League finds Tornado, they immediately follow the villains. Once there, the villains get the jump on the Justice League and use the artifact to transfer their souls into the bodies of the heroes and vice-versa. The villains, now in the bodies of

CHARACTERS:
Red Tornado; Professor Zoom; Star Saphire; Plant Master (Jason Woodrue); Blockbuster; The Wizard; Batman (Bruce Wayne); Green Lantern; Zatanna; Superman (Clark Kent); Wonder Woman (Diana Prince);
Green Arrow; Black Canary; Hawkman; Elongated Man; Flash
PLOT:
The villains take the Justice League members back to the satellite and imprison them in
Superman's magnetic stasis cube. The heroes find themselves without their familiar powers and left with the challenge of using the powers they do
possess as a means of escape. Eventually Green Lantern (in the body of Professor Zoom) is able to strike the
weakest point of the
cube a million times over, causing the cell to shatter. Red Tornado, unaware of the situation at hand, attacks who he thinks are his enemies before Zatanna is forced to use the magic of Star Sapphire to
incapacitate the android.
Once back on earth, the heroes trick fellow Secret Society member Hijack into revealing where the team's new hideout is. The heroes arrive and Star Sapphire builds a bridge of magic to the hideout location. She is too exhausted to follow her teammates and stays behind as the others go into battle. The heroes arrive on the scene
but are attacked by the other members of the Justice League whom the villains had tipped off. Thinking they were capturing the real Secret Society, the League is completely oblivious to the fact that they've just helped out their own worst enemies!

Green Arrow; Black Canary; Hawkman; Elongated Man; Flash
PLOT:
Unaware of the situation at hand, the League stands by in disbelief as the person they assume to be Superman takes the Secret Society of Supervillains and hurls them towards the sun. Outside, Star Sapphire struggles to return to the Justice League Satellite where she faces off once again with the Red Tornado.
Green Arrow, beginning to suspect that something is awry, travels with the Justice League to Mexico under the pretext of protecting some
valuable jewels. As it becomes apparent that these so called Justice Leaguers actual mean to steal the jewels (after the supposed Green
Lantern plants a kiss on Black Canary), Green Arrow attempts to battle the imposters
but is stopped short. Luckily Red Tornado, after being convinced of the situation at hand by Zatanna (as Star Sapphire) arrives with the rest of the rescued heroes.
Their displaced colleagues help the League defeat the imposters and Zatanna uses a spell to restore their souls into their
proper bodies.

CHARACTERS:
Martian Manhunter (John Jones); Human Flame (Mikey); Joey
PLOT:
A crook named Mike has designed a crime suit. The suit exerts fire, electric charges, and has a cutting torch. He and his partner Joey begin to steal using the suit.
Martian Manhunter catches up to them and tries to stop them. The flame from the suit weakens the
Martian, and he is just barely able to snuff out the flame with water.
The crooks continue to steal while the Manhunter is recovering. When he tries to capture them again, the flame prevents him from getting close. Instead he carries the ground, the crooks are standing on, high into the air. The thin air snuffs out the flame again, and Manhunter is able to capture them.
