Synopsis

The Crime Syndicate is so bored of life on their Earth as supreme villains, designated as Earth-3, that they come to the JLA's Earth for a new challenge after Ultraman accidentally discovers it when exposed to Green Kryptonite (which gives him a new power with every exposure to it). Just as it looks like the JLA has the upper hand, the Crime Syndicate teleports them to Earth-3, where they have the advantage. To secure a level battlefield the Crime Syndicate plans to go to the Earth-2 and eliminate the JSA.

Indexer Notes

Story continues in next issue. Story across 24 pages in three chapters of 6.67 pages, 11.67 pages, and 4.67 pages.

Brief history of Earth-3 also given in this issue, where history ran a reverse course (e.g.- Columbus, an American discovers England and Europe; The English win their war of independence from America; John Wilkes Booth is U.S. President and assassinated by actor Abraham Lincoln), hence why super-powered persons are evil on this earth. Earth-3 also named this issue and introduction of the Crime Syndicate.
