Stories

  • Countdown to Crisis! · 27 pages

    The Ultra-Humanite is pleased that the other 9 heroes are rounded up by the Secret Society on Earth-One and Earth-Two by their foes and placed in suspended-animation containers in limbo. He then goes to capture his longtime arch-foe, The Earth-Two Superman, whom he succeeds in capturing and places in the last open container. Soon his plan will be completed and he will rule over Earth-Two (minus its heroes) alongside the other Earth-Two Society members.
