Synopsis
  • The Whisperer, a scandalmonger, thrives on ruining prominent people’s reputations and blackmails Perry White into running his column in the Daily Planet. Superman and Batman try to unmask the Whisperer.
  • Shortly after Bruise Briefly announces that Dr. Joanne Russell knows the Creeper's secret identity on network TV, Dr. Russell turns up murdered, and the Creeper must learn who is blackmailing people in her name.
  • Wonder Woman reaches Steve Howard, but learns of her poisoned state when she accidentally brushes against a plant and kills it. Thus, she refrains from touching him until she can be treated with disinfectant. An FBI agent tells Wonder Woman and Steve of Poison Ivy’s origin: she was originally a student named Lillian Rose who fell in love with Prof. Marc Legrand, her botany teacher. He seduced her into stealing ancient Egyptian herbs from an exhibit for his experiments, and attempted to murder her with herbal poison to cover his tracks afterwards. But Lillian survived, becoming immune to all poisons in the process. Poison Ivy, Redwood, and Sumac gain the Cupid’s root in a central African nation, but Wonder Woman follows them there and confronts them. Poison Ivy steals Wonder Woman’s magic lasso and encircles her with it, making the Amazon her slave But Wonder Woman has deduced that Redwood is really a transformed Marc Legrand, and reveals it to him. With his returning memories come his returning hatred for Poison Ivy, and Redwood hurls himself and Ivy off a cliff down a waterfall.
  • The Stinger, now a costumed villain, teams up with Count Vertigo to gain revenge on their foes Green Arrow and Black Canary by switching opponents. Count Vertigo defeats Green Arrow, and the Stinger beats Black Canary. Both heroes are thrown into a death-trap, but Green Arrow defeats the trap and the twosome confront and vanquish the Stinger and Count Vertigo.
