Justice League of America [Firestorm [Ronnie Raymond; Professor Martin Stein]; Elongated Man; Hawkman; Red Tornado; Black Canary; Zatanna; Atom]; Martian Manhunter [J'Onn J'Onzz]; Green Arrow (guest star); Snapper Carr
As Firestorm sits bored during monitor duty, the satellite is invaded by the Martian Manhunter, who is after an Appellax meteor. After he is easily defeated by the Manhunter, Firestorm calls in the other members of the League. The gathered heroes quickly realize that none of the founding members answered the alert and Green Arrow figures out why: they are gathering up the seven meteors from Appellax from the JLA's first case. The new members then split up, each determined to stop one of the founding members.
