Synopsis

Following a meeting between the American and European teams, Mitch Wacky and Kilowog use a dimensional time transporter in an attempt to save Mitch's world from nuclear devastation. A team of Captain Atom, Fire, Blue Beetle, Guy Gardner, Ice, Power Girl, Flash, and Silver Sorceress follows them to either save them or stop them. Part of the transporter technology is Imskian-based, causing anyone who uses it to shrink. Both teams discover that the past can't be changed and while returning to their own time, the group accidentally gets shunted to the original JLA's time before making it home.

Indexer Notes

The Justifiers are inspired by Marvel's Avengers. They first appeared in Justice League of America #87. They are Wandjina (Thor); Silver Sorceress (Scarlet Witch); Bluejay (Yellowjacket); Captain Speed (Quicksilver); other members first shown in this issue include Tin Man (Iron Man) and three other unnamed heroes: an archer (Hawkeye), a giant (Giant-Man/Goliath); and a woman in green with wings (possibly the Wasp). The Extremists are also inspired by some of Marvel's villains: Lord Havok (Dr. Doom); Dr. Diehard (Magneto); Gorgon (Dr. Octopus); Tracer (Sabretooth); Dreamslayer (Dormammu). Mitch Wacky is inspired by Walt Disney. The unnamed hero mentioned above looks like Wolverine with Mickey Mouse ears.
