Synopsis
  • Black Canary stops three lumberjacks from killing a wolf and her cubs. She learns that they were hunting for a wolf that killed their friend, Pierre Dubois. Later, she hears of Dr. Grant, a scientist and animal rights advocate, and finds him dead in his cabin. The Canary reads in Grant’s notes of how he transformed a bear and wolf into humanoids . The diary breaks off as if Grant had died while writing it. Black Canary fights off the lumberjacks again, who fear they will be blamed for Grant’s death. Later, Dinah Lance takes a shower in her hotel room, not knowing she is being watched by the humanoid wolf.
  • The world becomes convinced that Superman has a long-lost brother, a misshapen hunchback named Kor-El, whom he exiled into space in a Kryptonite asteroid and subsequently blotted out from his memory. Superman is induced to free Kor-El from the asteroid, despite the fact that it incapacitates him, and Kor-El establishes a dictatorship on Earth.
  • Green Arrow trails Slingshot to the office of his employer, Boss Breed, and captures Breed but fails to nab Slingshot. However, fingerprints left by Slingshot on a doorknob prove him to be David Drayson, a cop-killing psychotic. GA follows up Slingshot, again failing to catch him in their next encounter, but finally bringing him down in their next meeting.
  • The Vigilante’s old partner Stuff is kidnapped and murdered by his enemy the Dummy, and the cowboy crusader vows vengeance.
