The only thing you need to know to enjoy this story if you are already aware of the Freedom Fighters' history is that in order to drag these adventures into more recent history I decided to swap out Earth-2 Superman with Power Girl. I also made the Sandman into the newer, younger Sandy Hawkins version. I hope these changes don't prevent you from enjoying "my" take on these three super groups!
What has gone-before department:
Red Tornado has asked the participants from the JLA-JSA get-together to figure out what happened to the Freedom Fighters after they moved to Earth-1. The two teams search for clues to the Fighters' whereabouts. They learn that the Fighters recently battled members of the Secret Society of Super-Villains and were captured by them! Green Arrow and Power Girl rescue the Ray, who had managed to escape. Dr. Fate uses his mystical powers to locate the other Fighters, and now the JLA-JSA head towards a showdown with the SSOSV!
