Elementary / The Origin of the Wonder Twins
The elemental spirits of the Earth take possession of four innocent civilians. Led by an unseen Overlord, these Elementals are duped into performing heroic deeds in the hopes of restoring their lost souls. The Overlord tells them that the Super Friends are actually villains and must be stopped. Each one baits a trap for a particular Super Friend, leading them towards specified dome structures. Aquaman faces an Undine, Superman faces a gnome, Batman faces a Salamander and Wonder Woman faces a sylph. With the aid of the Wonder Twins, the Super Friends manage to convince the spirit elementals that they have been led astray. The spirits, though still housed within their host bodies, agree to cease hostilities against them.
