Synopsis

BRAINWAVE BLOWS UP! Brainwave defeats mental images of the Justice Society of America, created by his own psychic powers. An exercise in self-indulgence that tries the patience of Brainwave's mysterious associate. The Golden Age Flash, Wildcat & Power Girl arrive at the Justice Society of America's headquarters. There, they take the Justice Society of America's Sky-Rocket into space, to confront Brainwave. In Capetown, South Africa, the Golden Age Robin maneuvers a truck laden with dynamite into a gas fissure. The truck explodes, sealing the fissure... yet, the gas is still escaping.

The Star-Spangeld Kid had flown into a crevice, using his Cosmic Rod to set up a counter vibration to quell the quake.

The three heroes then beat the living daylights out of Brainwave's minions.Using his machines to drain away the Justice Society of America's "will energy", as they responded to the three crises, Brainwave is able to restore Per Degaton to his former glory. The two men have little time to revel in Brainwave's...
