Synopsis

At one of the Justice Society's meetings, a new Red Tornado interrupts the group, claiming he is the original hero. However, the JSA knew the original Red Tornado (Ma Hunkel), who had entered in on their first meeting then just as suddenly left. They give this new Tornado a chance to show his heroism, but every time the JSA is about to defeat a group of criminals, the Tornado interferes, causing them to "die" in battle. Helpless to stop this, and after he learns it was T.O. Morrow who was behind the JSA's "deaths", he goes to Earth-One to enlist the Justice League's aid.
