Synopsis:
The Red Tornado finally convinces the Justice League to hear him out. He explains that Earth-2 is being threatened by a living star creature known as Aquarius. The menace came to his Earth after eons in exile from his people. Starman's cosmic rod inadvertantly repowered Aquarius allowing him to defeat the combined might of the JSA including its strongest members Superman and Wonder Woman. Aquarius then transported Earth-2 to another dimension. Doctor Fate acted to save the planet by tethering it to the minds of the JSA. As long as they survive, so will the Earth. Red Tornado was then dispatched to bring assistance from Earth-1.
