As the gang reenacts a cosmic alignment, Starman must outthink their dazzling, otherworldly act before they strike.

In "The Million Dollar Orphan," Hourman Rex Tyler pays a visit to an orphanage, dazzling the children with his scientific demonstrations—only to have one young boy vanish into the night. When the Hourman rushes to rescue him, the child's strange behavior hints at a plan far more complicated than a simple kidnapping.

In "Mr. Noah Raids the Town!" from Adventure Comics #76 (1942), Jo’s troubling dream sets off a chain of events that leads Noah Barton to devise a scheme that turns his criminal ambitions into a public spectacle—posing as a prophetic Noah to warn of impending doom while secretly lining his pockets.
