Using thei villains' equipment, Batman contacts Superman and informs him about a certain underworld auction where the weapons will be sold. Superman arrives in time to stop the auction and he captures The Trickster on the scene. Unfortunately, Colonel Sulphur uses a time bomb part of the Weapon-Master's stolen arsenal from the Fortress of Solitude and Superman gets thrown into another time continuum from where he is unable to escape.

Meanwhile, Batman confronts Captain Cutlass and after defeating him, he impersonates the villain to merge into the Army of Crime.

Czemm and his pirate crew lock Hawkman away with their other captive, a small timid alien called Plert. When their jailer calls with food, Plert sees her as a female of his race, but Hawkman sees Shayera. This image then turns to Mavis Trent, and Superman. Hawkman deduces that this is an alien who hypnotically appears as someone the person likes, or would want to see. This alien is the gaseous Qwesjun, and Hawkman defeats him by concentrating on people he hates. Qwesjun takes the form of many, including Hyathis and John Small, and Katar turns his frustration against him. Hawkman then defeats Karniss Gor, Veneer, and Drekk, but Czemm has used the space-suit to fly to Hawkman's ship, leaving him and Plert stranded on the wreck…

• Captain Marvel's story flashes back to very early events in Kid Eternity's story, originally portrayed in Hit Comics #25, and strongly hints that a character widely understood to be Saint Peter was in fact Shazam.
