“History's Crime Wave! [Part 1]”

The JSA awake to find themselves bound inside a huge wax vat in the basement of the museum, with hot wax raining down on them. As they look up, the evil villains are standing and gloating over their demise, when suddenly only one of them unmasks (Attila), revealing the security guard of the museum, who tells them that he had impersonated ALL of the villains. Why? Because the JSA dared to insult them, and thereby insulted him! Suddenly Lucrezia Borgia appears, catching the guard off guard, but her wax mask melts, revealing the Black Canary. She frees the JSA, the guard dies in the wax vat.
