Synopsis
BATTLE AGAINST THE BODILESS UNIFORMS The demons Abnegazar, Ghast and Rath have come up with a way to escape their prison: During their last battle against the Justice League, the costumes of Batman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman were all charged with mystical energy which once expended in the right way will make the Justice League their slaves, so that they can use the Jar, Bell and Wheel to free themselves. Taking control of these costumes, they have them use a portion of their magic to bring costumes Pied Piper, the Mask, Killer Moth, Dagon and Dr. Polaris to come alive and wreak havoc, bringing the attention of the Justice League. When Batman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman fight these duplicates of their foes, their spare costumes are ruined, however the foes are defeated and turned over to the authorities who are shocked to find that there are now two of each criminal in their possession. When the JLA members return to their home grounds, they find their missing original costumes waiting for them. They change into these costumes when word of the duplicates villains getting free reaches them. This time as they are fighting, the bodies in the costumes suddenly disappear, forcing the JLA members to use some ingenuity to stop the possessed costumes. However the battle leaves the group in an exhausted state, allowing the demons to take control of their bodies and use the Jar, Bell and Wheel to switch places with the demons. Deciding to gather at JLA headquarters, the demons run into Snapper who is shocked when the demons suddenly disappear and the captured JLA members appear in their place. Green Lantern explains that when they defeated the demons the first time, they realized the Jar, Bell and Wheel were indestructible, and so as a fail safe Green Lantern used his power rings to reverse any spell that might be used to free the demons.
