Description
Stop The World, I Want To Go Home / Whatever Happened to the Crimson Avenger
"Stop the World -- I Want to Get Off! Go Home!": Superman and the Flash are tricked into fighting each other by an other-dimensional tyrant who wishes to siphon off their super-energies in order to return to her own world. "Whatever Happened to...the Crimson Avenger?": After being diagnosed with an incurable, deadly disease, Lee Travis feared he would die unremembered as a hero. Seeing a small boat in trouble in the harbor, he leapt into action. Saving a small boy on the way, the Crimson Avenger reached the ship, which was carrying some experimental chemicals, and was being hijacked by criminals. The ensuing battle caused a fire. After insisting the captain and crew leave, Travis piloted the ship out into the harbor, saving the city from the explosion. When asked what happened, the captain did not know who had saved him, so Travis' fear apparently coming true. But elsewhere in the City, the mother of the little boy he saved would remember, and so would the son, and his children.
