Synopsis

THE TRIUMPH OF THE TORNADO TYRANT! Justice League being cheered for defeating the Rock Men of Pluto and then being honored at a banquet. Shortly thereafter, they are at their Secret Sanctuary and they disappear into a seemingly familiar tornado. It is the Tornado Tyrant. We then see a flashback of the tyrant losing to Adam Strange.
