Tom versus the JLA number 196 or Earth 2 Superman loves that early bird special.

Welcome back for Justice League of America number 196.

Then on November 1981 issue entitled Countdown to Crisis, written by Jerry Conway with art by George Perez and Romeo Tengal.

Ben Oda, letter, Carl Gafford, colorist, Len Ween, editor with a cover by Perez and Dick Girodano.

Our roll call for this issue is from the Justice League of America of Earth 1, The Batman, Black Canary, the Adam, Firestorm, and Wonder Woman, from the Justice Society of America of Earth 2, Superman, Huckman, Our Man, Johnny, Thunder, and the Flash.

And from the newly formed Secret Society of Supervillains, Ultra Humanite, Brainwave, Plant Master, Killer Frost, the Cheetah, Signal Man, Ragdoll, the Mist, and The Monocle.

We start off this issue in the Sinister Citadel in Nepal, where the ultra-humanite is

loading the three captured leaguers, Earth 2 Hawkman, Wonder Woman from Earth One, and Black

Canary, into some centrifuge that has big glass cylinders in it, you know, the type of thing that any good

villain knows a wholesaler that can help them out with. Of course, you know, you need to, if you're

going to put your enemies in a centrifuge, it's good to have a nice display area for them, you know,

probably some sort of mylar bagging, so there's no fading from the sun. You know, the ultra-humanite

seems to be sort of a closet collector, I would say. We get a little recap of the whole idea of what's

going on. Ultra-humanites trying to get rid of all the heroes of Earth 2. There's 10 specific

heroes that if you remove them from Earth 1 and Earth 2 and put them in limbo,

it changes the fabric of reality.

All the heroes will disappear off Earth 2.

All Dreamerites put together a secret society made up of Earth 1 and Earth 2 villains.

He hasn't told the Earth 1 villains that they're not going to get anything out of this deal.

Bit of a secret.

Again, the whole gist of this issue is we're going to see the

villains fighting the heroes and defeating them. Well, you're listening to this, so you're not,
