This Is My World, and You're Welcome to It! · 17 pages
We open to a world ruled by Vandal Savage, where Superman is his enforcer and Jimmy Olsen is a rebel. Jimmy is captured, but luckily Lois Lane is secretly on the side of the rebels too! Lois is able to show Superman the evil of Vandal Savage, but she is killed in the process, and Vandal Savage disappears into the past.
Sorry-- Wrong Powers! · 8 pages
The Atom is on the trail of kidnappers. But a cosmic being switches the powers of the Earth One and Earth Two Atoms, causing Ray Palmer to be stuck at 5 foot tall with super-strength. The Atom is able to use his counterpart's powers to save Professor Hyatt, just in time for the powers to switch back again.
