| * The Justice Society of America battles the Stalker in an untold case. Rex Tyler becomes Hourman for the first time in two years in order to break up a group of eight Nazi occultists with the help of Doctor Occult, the Spectre (who is still invisible), Doctor Fate (who still lacks the Helm of Nabu), Zatara the Magician, and Sargon the Sorcerer. But when an other-dimensional being called the Stalker arrives, bent on ending all war by eliminating all life, the Spectre, Fate, Zatara, and Sargon are absorbed, while Hourman and Occult barely escape with their lives. Hawkman calls in the entire membership of the JSA to face the Stalker. When the Stalker attacks Washington, D.C., the JSA attacks the Stalker en masse, injuring him enough that he must take time to heal, but he brings the eight dead occultists back to life to act as his disciples and sends them out. Green Lantern and Johnny Thunder defend Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Josef Stalin at the Yalta Conference in the Soviet Union from a disciple with ice powers. Starman and the Atom defeat the radioactive disciple threatening the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos. Hawkman and Wildcat travel to Angola, where with the help of the Manhunter and the Tigress they stop an animalistic disciple from blowing up Africa by igniting the world's largest underground oilfield. Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl travel to Iwo Jima in the Pacific, where they confront a water-powered disciple with the help of Steve Trevor. Doctor Mid-Nite and Hourman travel to Scotland, where they stop a diseased disciple from unleashing stockpiles of super-anthrax guarded by the U.S. Army. The Flash and Mister Terrific travel to Dresden in Germany, where they battle an explosive disciple amidst the Allied bombing and meet the disguised Tex Thomson, the Americommando. The Sandman and Sandy the Golden Boy return to New York City, where they, along with the Star-Spangled Kid, Stripesy, and the King, face an insanity-producing disciple who has caused the city's population to go mad. Superman, Batman, and Robin battle another disciple in the skies who has wind powers. Together, the assembled JSA learns that the Stalker is located in Antarctica, and with the help of the All-Star Squadron they attack the Stalker at his base, where they destroy his engine and finally subdue the Stalker himself, freeing the Spectre, Doctor Fate, Zatara, and Sargon. //Note: This story has never been told on Earth-2, but it has been referred to on occasion in Earth-2 stories. Although this story is based on the Justice Society Returns storyline from All-Star Comics v2 #1-2, All-American Comics v2 #1, Adventure Comics v2 #1, Thrilling Comics v2 #1, Sensation Comics v2 #1, Smash Comics v2 #1, National Comics v2 #1, and Star Spangled Comics v2 #1, that story is a Post-Crisis story set in the combined DC Universe in which several details differ somewhat from what occurs on Earth-2, including the erroneous inclusion of a few Quality Comics characters who were actually on Earth-X at this time.// | * The Justice Society of America battles the Stalker in an untold case.

| * October 26: The Seven Soldiers of Victory battle the Nebula-Man (the transformed Dr. Wilfred Gwythyr Doome) and are time-lost. Wing How apparently dies in battle with the Nebula-Man, but in reality he is taken to the Nebula-Man's realm. Wesley Dodds, the former Sandman, later begins searching for his missing friend Lee Travis (the Crimson Avenger) but is unsuccessful. ["The Unknown Soldier of Victory," Justice League of America #100 (August, 1972).] | * October 26: A giant menace called the Nebula-Man (the transformed Dr. Wilfred Gwythyr Doome) walks over the world, conquering everyone who tries to stop him, and killing many people. Finally, the Seven Soldiers of Victory come out of retirement to stop the Nebula-Man in the Himalayas near Mount Everest. The Seven Soldiers battle the Nebula-Man, giving them enough time to complete the Nebula-Rod, which gathers nebuloid-energy from space to channel against the opposing nebula threat. Wing How uses the new secret weapon to destroy the Nebula-Man, sacrificing his life in the process, though in reality he is taken to the Nebula-Man's realm. Holy men from a nearby temple who witnessed the battle place Wing's body in a grave. The destruction of the Nebula-Man causes each of the Seven Soldiers of Victory to be sent into a different era in the past. //Note: It is not known if the Hand had anything to do with the appearance of the Nebula-Man, but he eventually learned how to create his own construction of nebuloid-energy, since he threatens the Earth with it in 1972.// ["The Unknown Soldier of Victory," Justice League of America #100 (August, 1972).] |
