Comments:
Page 1 of this story recounts the events at the end of All-Star Squadron #14. Due to events in Justice League of America #209, the Squadron’s meeting with the Justice League has been erased from history.

Synopsis:
After their encounter with Nuclear, the All-Star Squadron returns to the meeting rooms of the Justice Society to discover a disheveled Wonder Woman awaiting them. She had her own encounter with Nuclear off the coast of Norfolk. Steve Trevor was captured in the battle, and she has come to the Squadron seeking aid.

The Squadron takes Wonder Woman’s invisible plane to Norfolk to investigate. They find Trevor and Nuclear in the lab of Percy Playboy. The villain’s magnetic powers are effective against the All-Star’s, but Trevor escapes and kills Nuclear by shooting him.
