Synopsis:
Starman recovers from his injuries and informs the All-Star Squadron that he recently encountered two invisible Japanese bombers over the skies of Hawaii. Several of the Squadron stay at the Perisphere to help him locate the bombers, while several other members return to their personal lives.

Prince Daka, the creator of the inviso-inducer, contacts three super-villains, Kung, Tsunami, and Samurai, to help him steal Starman’s Gravity Rod. They attack the Squadron in their own headquarters, cloaked in invisibility. They successfully render the group harmless and gain control of the Gravity Rod. Daka then orders his associates to kill the All-Star Squadron.
