| * After the Justice League of America of Earth-1 defeat the Crime Syndicate of America of Earth-3 while on Earth-1, only to be defeated by the CSA while on Earth-3, the CSA decides to fight the JLA the neutral ground of Earth-2. Imprisoning the JLA members in their Secret Sanctuary on Earth-1, the CSA travels to Earth-2 to defeat the Justice Society of America before they can help the JLA. By this time, however, the JSA has sensed that they were spied on from Earth-3 and soon discover via Doctor Fate's crystal ball that the JLA of Earth-1 has been defeated. Fate temporarily disrupts Power Ring's paralyzing trance placed on the JLA, who warn the JSA about the CSA. The JSA are soon attacked in their own headquarters by the CSA and fight back, but are careful not to physically contact the Earth-3 super-villains, lest they be transported to Earth-3. Hawkman fights Johnny Quick and manages to knock him out. Doctor Fate batters Power Ring into unconsciousness after their battle. Doctor Mid-Nite outwits Owlman, who is knocked out when he falls into a pit. Black Canary avoids Superwoman's magic lariat, managing to pin her down using martial arts before binding her with the lariat. Starman battles Ultraman in outer space and only manages to defeat his powerful foe by tricking him into stealing an antimatter duplicate of his cosmic rod, which explodes and knocks Ultraman out. Unfortunately, each JSA member finds themselves transported to Earth-3 upon their individual victories, where they are imprisoned, thanks to a prearranged scheme by Owlman and Power Ring. The CSA then return to Earth-2 and draw the JLA there for their last battle. The JLA manages to outwit and defeat the CSA, then discover that if the JSA is ever freed from their prison on Earth-3, a special device will automatically cause Earth-2 and Earth-1 to explode. The Earth-1 Green Lantern imprisons the CSA in a power ring-created prison in the Limbo dimension between universes. Then the JLA travel to Earth-3, where the Earth-1 Green Lantern channels the destructive force to destroy two dead worlds in outer space instead of Earth-2 and Earth-1, and the JLA frees the JSA from imprisonment, allowing each team to return home. //Note: Doctor Mid-Nite uses a distortion blackout bomb that causes a foe that can see in the dark to see him a few feet away from where he really is. Doctor Mid-Nite somehow blasts a deep hole in the ground, but how he accomplishes this so quickly and apparently soundlessly is never explained. Black Canary uses a cold pill that freezes a foe's vocal chords. Starman's cosmic rod (the successor to the gravity rod) can accomplish many new feats, including transmuting matter. The JSA's headquarters is referred to as their Secret Sanctuary and appears to be a headquarters in the countryside similar to the JLA's Secret Sanctuary on Earth-1, rather than a building in Gotham City. Possibly this was a new headquarters the team used temporarily in 1964. The presence of Doctor Fate's crystal ball implies that it could be the Castle of Destiny that Fate once used in the 1940s as a second headquarters.// ["Crisis on Earth-Three," Justice League of America #29 (August, 1964); "The Most Dangerous Earth of All," Justice League of America #30 (September, 1964)] | * After the Justice League of America of Earth-1 defeat the Crime Syndicate of America of Earth-3 while on Earth-1, only to be defeated by the CSA while on Earth-3, the CSA decides to fight the JLA the neutral ground of Earth-2.
