The Ultra-Humanite is pleased that the other 9 heroes are rounded up by the Secret Society on Earths 1 and 2 by their foes and placed in suspended-animation containers in limbo. He then goes to capture his longtime arch-foe, The Earth-2 Superman, whom he succeeds in capturing and places in the last open container. Soon his plan will be completed and he will rule over Earth-2 (minus its heroes) alongside the other Earth-2 Society members.
