| Synopsis | - Doc, a criminal surgeon and scientist, performs an operation that gives a crook named Hadley all the abilities of Aquaman, including the power to breathe underwater with gills. Hadley dons an Aquaman costume and begins a crime career at sea. At first, Aquaman is blamed for the robberies, and searches out Hadley, but is hard-pressed to escape the villain’s spear gun. Soon, however, he lures Hadley into an area of fresh water, which Hadley cannot breathe, and captures him.
- A bunch of crooks come up with a new way to foil Green Arrow: creating positive and negative chemicals, the crooks have the chemicals dumped into Green Arrow and Speedy's quivers during a public appearance. Whenever the crooks pull off a heist and Green Arrow and Speedy show up to try and stop them, they find that their arrows suddenly shoot upwards into the air.
However, the two heroes eventually figure out what is going on, and use other means to try to trip up the crooks, however their biggest stroke of luck is when it starts to rain, washing away the chemicals on the crooks' getaway car that was reacting with the chemicals on their arrows.
- Samson and Hercules, who have learned of the existence of Superboy through a seer, are sent by the prophet to his time to learn what “elixir” he has drunk to make himself invulnerable. They learn his invulnerability is natural, but Superboy and Krypto come back to the past to help the two strongmen triumph over the wicked King Zarl.
