A band of martians attack the city. John Jones can’t get away from Diane Meade to change identities and fight as the Martian Manhunter. The martians disappear, but J’onn finds a machine like the one Dr. Erdel used to bring him to Earth.

J’onn returns to Mars and is reunited with his family. He discovers that the martians with the aid of missing scientist, Alvin Reeves, have stolen matches which are deadly to martians. J’onn destroys their stockpile and captures the criminals. He then returns Reeves to Earth, who forgets the entire encounter because of amnesia.
