Synopsis:
Simon Stagg and architect Edifice K. Bulwark work to design a building made from new chemicals which can transform to accommodate multiple functions. They need Metamorpho to construct their building, but Rex refuses to help. Stagg then performs an experiment on Bulwark, changing him into a second Element Man. Bulwark then constructs the building using his new powers.

When the building is finished, Stagg and Bulwark ride the elevator to the top. A mishap causes the elevator to break, but the new Element Man saves them. When the building undergoes the first transformation, it goes berserk, destroying other buildings and endangering Stagg.

The real Metamorpho returns and battles Bulwark. Rex also must work to protect the city from the rogue skyscraper. Rex finally defeats Bulwark, then changes into a meteor to smash the building. Stagg's experiment then wears off, permanently removing Bulwark's powers.
