| * James Barr becomes Bulletman. [Nickel #1] | * Jim "Bullet" Barr, orphaned son of Police Sgt. Pat Barr, completes his education in criminology and ballistics and attempts to follow in his father's footsteps by joining the Police Department, only to be turned down due to being too physically weak. He soon becomes a civilian laboratory criminologist at the Police Department instead of a police officer, then completes his invention of a Crime Serum or Crime-Cure. Using the Crime Serum on himself to destroy all germs and toxins in his body, Barr is transformed overnight into one of the strongest and smartest men on Earth. When a criminal named Rod Lonigan threatens to blow up City Hospital, Barr uses his enhanced mind to quickly invent a gravity-regulator helmet that enables him to fly swiftly, then dons a costume to become Bulletman in order to capture Lonigan. Soon after Bulletman encounters his first super-criminal foe, Blackmask, whose gang has kidnapped several policemen. Jim Barr's girlfriend is Susan Kent, daughter of Police Sgt. Kent.

A group of non-magical All-Stars (Batman, Hawkman, Plastic Man, and the Flash) travel to Berlin with Freddy Freeman and Mary Bromfield. There, in Hitler's Reichschancellery, they find Billy Batson gagged and locked away, but they are quickly confronted by Captain Marvel and Adolf Hitler himself. Gootsden uses his spatial-displacement ray to split Captain Marvel Junior and Mary Marvel from Freddy Freeman and Mary Bromfield. Hitler uses Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Junior, and Mary Marvel to deliver a huge bomb toward England. The All-Stars battle the Marvel Family and save Parliament from being blown up. Meanwhile, the All-Stars in Germany escape with Billy, Freddy, and Mary and are shot down in the English Channel, then almost captured by the Germans, until the All-Stars in England and the Marvel Family (now freed, once their alter egos are out from under the Spear of Destiny's influence) rescue them. When all six Earth-S natives speak the magic words Shazam and Captain Marvel, they are instantly transported back to Earth-S, where they are rejoined.
