| * November 22: President John F. Kennedy is assassinated by an American gunman with Nazi sympathies. The Nazis use opportunity of the panic and confusion in the aftermath to invade America and take Washington. Destroying America's most precious documents -- the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and others -- Germany declares America conquered, although it takes the next three years before the invasion is complete as there are pockets of resistance movements all over the country. Richard Von Zell, an American with Nazi loyalites, officially becomes the chief Nazi magistrate of America in place of the fallen Presidency and take the White House as his seat of power for Hitler. Rod Reilly (formerly known as Firebrand, he becomes the leader of the American Resistance), begins posing as a collaborator and bringing information about rebel movements to Von Zell. However, they would actually lead the Nazi agents into traps, where, as Rod Reilly, the resistance leader, he would capture or kill them. [some of this is information revealed by Bob Rozakis as plans for an untold story and the rest is speculation] | * November 22: President John F.

| * Von Zell vows to kill Reilly when he discovers the latter's duplicity, but Rod Reilly somehow escapes to Earth-1 with barely his life. Pursuing him, Richard Von Zell, carrying an armload of silver bars to use to pay his way, crosses the dimensional barrier into Earth-1 as well. But the journey turns Von Zell into a Midas with a silver touch. With his new power, Von Zell becomes Raphael Van Zandt, amassing power and wealth while searching for Reilly.

| * By this time, the Nazis have secretly created an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to help them with governing world affairs. Judging the Nazi high echelon to be unbalanced and dangerously irrational, this artificial intelligence slowly begins to take over the worldwide Nazi Empire, replacing its leaders with android duplicates over the next two years. The upper echelon of the Nazi government are eventually made to forcibly retire in secret by this artificial intelligence and are effectively imprisoned in richly furnished compounds in South America. This artificial intelligence desired order above all, so many of the more twisted aspects of Nazi rule were ended in favor of more logical government rule. To that end, work began on mind-control rays to control the world's population and establish firm order. | * By this time, the Nazis have secretly created an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to help them with governing world affairs.

| * A lower-level Nazi faction decides to take advantage of the disappearance of the Freedom Fighters and try to take control of New York on July 4th, the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Plastic Man leads a small team of former Freedom Fighters to stop them, including the Raven, Spider Widow, the Great Defender, the Jester, and the Ghost of Flanders. The Nazis are defeated but at a terrible price, as half of these heroes lay dead -- the Raven, the Jester (Robert Mason), and the Ghost of Flanders lay dead. The Spider-Widow (Raven's wife) retires permanently to raise her children, the Great Defender (Stormy Foster) retires to run his business, while Plastic Man retires and burdens himself for three deaths.
