Johnny Thunder, mad because the Wizard didn't give him a case to work on, is complaining to Wonder Woman when the JSA arrives. From a vase of flowers appears the Wizard, who once again charges the JSA with being master criminals. He explains his background as a gunman who went to Tibet to study magic arts and taught himself the black arts, and now they are under his post-hypnotic influence and are aboard his ship. Sending grotesque creatures at them, a blackout bomb makes them all disappear as does the Wizard: into a vat of acid. Still, the Flash muses, is the Wizard really gone?
