Synopsis:
Dr. Fate and Hourman arrive at the JSA meeting rooms to gather their help in locating some All-Star’s who have recently disappeared. In the place of the JSA they find the Monster Society of Evil, led by Mr. Mind. Hawkgirl is also present having already been captured.

Hourman and Dr. Fate are defeated and Mr. Mind reveals that he entered the Earth-2 dimension when Harbinger retrieved Firebrand for help fighting the Crisis. When he discovered his hero, Charlie McCarthy was a wooden dummy and that the JSA was missing, he put together his own group dedicated to evil. Sandy the Golden Boy arrives in time to prevent the murder of the All-Stars, but Dr. Fate is teleported to the moon by Oom.
