Comments:
Johnny's Thunderbolt manifests itself invisibly in this story making it appear as if Johnny's magic actually works on people around him, rather than his Thunderbolt.

This story continues in part in the fourth story of Flash Comics #3.

This story originally was not titled; the title shown here was given on the contents page of JSA All Star Archives Vol. 1 in which this story is reprinted.

Synopsis:
Johnny interrupts a fight on the street and rescues a girl from a bully. With the magic of his Thunderbolt, Johnny appears to be a formidable fighter. A boxing manager witnesses Johnny's apparent prowess and signs him up to be a boxer. Johnny unknowingly uses the Thunderboly to win his first bout, setting the stage for a fight with the champion.
