Synopsis:
J’onn J’onzz trails three bandits into a cave during a thunderstorm. Somehow a thunderbolt strikes, propelling them into another dimension. In the new dimension, the bandits have super powers, and J’onn is powerless.

While trying to eliminate the Manhunter, the crooks are attacked by some alien animals. J’onn realizes his powers are gone because of some fire plants, which are weakening him, so he lures the animal into trampling the plants. When his powers return, he uses his fists to make a thunderclap which sends himself and the crooks back to their rightful dimension.
