Synopsis:
A meeting of the Justice Society is interrupted by the appearance of a faceless super-hero with whirlwind powers calling himself the Red Tornado, who claims to be a former JSA member. Presented with evidence that the true Red Tornado was a housewife named Ma Hunkel, the intruder begins to doubt his own identity, but is determined to prove himself as a super-hero.

He accompanies Flash, Hourman, Dr. Fate, Black Canary, and Starman to the scene of a museum robbery being staged by criminals who, like himself, have no facial features, but only succeeds in ensuring his fellow heroes' defeat, and the apparent deaths of all but Dr. Fate. Frantic to redeem himself, he tracks down the mastermind behind the robbery – T.O. Morrow, a scientific villain who once fought Green Lantern and Flash of Earth-1.

Overcoming Red Tornado, Morrow is forced to revive him when his computer-forecaster informs him that his next crime will succeed only if the android is present to try to prevent it. The newest JSA member seems to prove the computer wrong, when he defeats Morrow and his minions, but when Dr. Fate and the remaining Society members come on the scene, Red Tornado's accidental triggering of a ray device causes an explosion that overcomes the whole team.
