Synopsis for "Crisis on Earth-X! The Prequel"
Monday, February 23rd, 1942: Uncle Sam reveals, to all of the assembled All Stars, how he first crossed into Earth-X, then came back to Earth-Two to gather his original Freedom Fighters, including Hourman, who is now suffering negative chemical reactions from his Miraclo pills. The first Freedom Fighters died when a Japanese Zero rammed them. Midnight confirms that he and the stricken Doll Man fought Baron Blitzkrieg on Earth-X. The heroes learn that Nazi saboteurs are attacking four of their home bases, and divide into six groups, one each to stop the saboteurs in each town, the fifth (Firebrand, Johnny Quick, Liberty Belle, and Starman) to fight off a Japanese invasion attempt at Santa Barbara, California, and the sixth to go with Uncle Sam to Earth-X. The Spectre carries Uncle Sam's 2nd team of Freedom Fighters (the Black Condor, Doll Man, the Human Bomb, Phantom Lady, the Ray, and the Red Bee) across the dimensional barriers to Earth-X, but then is himself forbidden by the Voice to follow the new team to their destination.
