BRAINWAVE BLOWS UP! Brainwave defeats mental images of the Justice Society of America, created by his own psychic powers. An exercise in self-indulgence that tries the patience of Brainwave's mysterious associate. The Golden Age Flash, Wildcat & Power Girl arrive at the Justice Society of America's headquarters. There, they take the Justice Society of America's Sky-Rocket into space, to confront Brainwave.
