Batman fights Ecks while their respective duplicates fight each other. Batman learns that the only way to eliminate the duplicate is to destroy the machine that created it when Dr. X tries to get rid of the Batman double.

Synopsis for Martian Manhunter: "The Bandits with Super-Powers"

A meteorite lands near Middletown that can give Earthmen temporary Martian powers, but strips the powers away from J'onn J'onzz. When three crooks gain such powers, and J'onzz loses his, he is rescued by Diane Meade, who exposes herself to the meteor and, gaining super-powers, helps him escape. Later, when his powers return, the Manhunter transforms himself into John Jones, exposes his now-human self to the meteorite, and gains powers in his human identity.
