Synopsis:
Kanjar Ro escapes his prison on the planet Rann by creating an aural duplicate of himself to take his place. He then comes to Earth, and creates similar doubles of Flash, Green Lantern, Atom, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, which he uses to lure the real JLA members into traps. By various clues, the real heroes are able to detect the phonies: for instance, the false GL’s power ring works agaisnt yellow objects, Aquaman’s twin can stay out of water more than an hour, the duplicate Wonder Woman leaves no footprints, the Atom’s double can’t control his weight as well as his size, and the bogus Flash is able to stay underwater without surfacing.

Meanwhile, Kanjar Ro steals the planet Earth, and replaces it with its aural duplicate. The Justice League is unaware of this until Adam Strange discovers the villain’s escape, and returns to Earth to warn them. Because of the zeta-beam radiation by which he travels from Earth to Rann, Adam’s aura is drawn to the aural Earth, while his real body materializes on the real Earth, thus enabling the League to locate the stolen planet.

The assembled League unites to overpower Kanjar Ro, who has set up headquarters in their own Secret Sanctuary. All is restored to normal, and the effect of the brain-stimulating radiation which had allowed the villain to escape is canceled.
