Synopsis for "The Criss-Cross Crisis!"
The Blitz rushed to the Hall of Heroes in Capitol City, Texas, where he had seen something that had shocked him. He signaled his teammates, who came to his position after being alerted. However, when the RTA arrived, they met a man who claimed to be The Blitz, which led to a fight. Ultiman defeated The Blitz, before Doctor Weird had appeared in front of them and offered his assistance in finding their Blitz. Meanwhile, the Knights of Justice had beat up the RTA's Blitz and were visited by Doctor Weird, who brought the two teams together, claiming that he wanted to stop the destruction of both of their worlds. Doctor Weird explained the differences between Earth-A and Earth-B and how a portal created a link between them and that if that it wasn't closed, that they would collide. In order to stop the rift between the two Earths from growing, Doctor Weird used his ectoplasmic form to hold it. The Ultiman of Earth-B and the Ultiman of Earth-A both joined hands with Doctor Weird in order to help him contain the rift. Meanwhile, Venus, the Beacon of Earth-B, and Thunder Girl were in Paris with the Blitz of Earth-A, who raced to the Eiffel Tower, which he believed had the machine that teleported him to Earth-B. The Blitz was attacked by a robot gorilla and disappeared, before the Knights of Justice attacked the robot. The Beacon hit a machine on top of the tower, causing an explosion that made him disappear as well. On Earth-A, the Round Table of America, along with the Blitz of Earth-B arrived at the Statue of Liberty, where another robot gorilla attacked them, causing both the Blitz and the Beacon of Earth-A to disappear. It was revealed that Doctor Weird had summoned them all to himself in order to borrow their energy. A cloaked figure was watching as Knight Watchman attempted to disarm a device that he found on the Statue of Liberty. The robot on Earth-A grabbed the device from Knight Watchman, who called the Whiz Kids for backup. The Whiz Kids tracked the cloaked figure's hideout to Ellis Island, where they fought against him and a robot ape. In the middle of the fight, an ape in a lab coat named Bubbles appeared and calmed down the robot. The cloaked figure ordered the robot to hit Bubbles, knocking him into the device and causing him and Kid Galahad to disappear. Venus had destroyed the other robot, before their device caused them to teleport to a location with Kid Galahad and Bubbles. On Earth-A, Moray, Cyclone, Knight Watchman, and the Human Sub had cornered the cloaked figure. Thunder Girl came out from one of the devices and attacked the figure, whom she revealed to be Dr. Binana. Then, Dr. Binana set off a bomb, which the Human Sub responded by flying the bomb into the ocean, which cost him his life. Unfortunately, the Thunder Girl and Doctor Binana were trapped on Earth-A, as Doctor Weird was unable to give them a way to return to Earth-B. On Earth-B, the Knights of Justice honored the Human Sub with a statue, while on Earth-A, the Round Table of America, in addition to Thunder Girl, buried his body at sea.
