Synopsis for "Air Wave/The Atom: Sunspotter's Crime Collection!"

Air Wave finds that his transit has been interrupted by Sunspotter, who after their last encounter managed to escape before the police arrived. The crook traps Air Wave in a force bubble, telling him that he needs someone to whom he can boast about his robberies. Sunspotter looks through the Social Register to identify a potential victim, then leaves to carry out his crime. He steals a unique Swiss watch from a collector but is interrupted by The Atom, who doesn't know how he got there as he was beaming up to the JLA Satellite. Sunspotter blasts him with his solar powers then takes him back to his lair where he freezes him into an icicle. When he leaves to commit another robbery Air Wave maneuvers the bubble under the icicle, where it shorts out when a drop of water falls on it. He frees the Atom and the pair go after Sunspotter, identifying the location of his robbery by the minuscule trace left in the Register, clearly visible when Atom shrinks small enough. They catch the crook red-handed and take him down. This time Air Wave makes sure he delivers Sunspotter right into police custody.
