DOUBLE BATMAN VS DOUBLE X Simon Ecks escapes from the sanitarium he was locked with his memory restored. Ecks finds a hidden duplicator device and becomes Dr. Double X once again. He matches wits with Batman again, but Batman is able to defeat him by generating an energy duplicate of himself with Ecks' machine. Batman fights Ecks while their respective duplicates fight each other. Batman learns that the only way to eliminate the duplicate is to destroy the machine that created it when Dr. X tries to get rid of the Batman double. Doctor X finds out quickly that he was tricked by the Dynamic Duo and Vicki Vale and the Batman destroys Ecks' machine, eliminating his duplicate. When Ecks is finally captured, the Batman duplicate decides to eliminate itself by destroying the second machine. THE BANDITS WITH SUPER-POWERS A meteorite lands near Middletown that can give Earthmen temporary Martian powers, but strips the powers away from J'onn J'onzz. When three crooks gain such powers, and J'onzz loses his, he is rescued by Diane Meade, who exposes herself to the meteor and, gaining super-powers, helps him escape. Later, when his powers return, the Manhunter transforms himself into John Jones, exposes his now-human self to the meteorite, and gains powers in his human identity. Jones, Zook, and Diane capture the crooks and destroy the meteorite.
