Synopsis:
Detective John Jones receives a warning about Professor Arnold Hugo, a former foe of Batman, who has escaped jail and fled Gotham City. Hugo and his gang rob a bank for money to fund his latest experiment. J’onn arrives to stop the robbery, but Hugo uses a force bubble to keep J’onn from interfering.

When Hugo strikes again, J’onn follows him back to his hide-out. Hugo siphons off J’onn’s powers, then tries to disintegrate the martian. J’onn escapes, then destroys Hugo’s machines. Zook then weakens the super-powered crook with fire, until Hugo’s powers wear off.
