Justice League of America #38
In "Crisis on Earth-A!", the Justice League of America faces a bizarre threat when the Lawless League and three monstrous creations from Earth-One’s Johnny Thunder collide with their reality.

The JSA defeats the Lawless League and then the three monstrous creatures created by the Johnny Thunder of Earth-One. He concedes defeat and tells the Thunderbolt to turn back time to before he ever heard of him. T-Bolt then later stops Johnny when he's about to wonder if he has a counterpart on Earth-One again, since all previous events were erased from everyone's minds.
