In the Similar Universe of SUPERBOY BIG GULP:
Fast was the operative word for the Justice League of America. If they were to prevent the coming Destruction of their Universe, only one man could gather all the help they'd need to defend it.
Barry Allen, the first FLASH, didn't even hesitate. His task would be to traverse the Multiverse of the DC Universe in search of assistance, recruiting hero and villain alike to join them. Together, The JLA believed, they might stand a chance at preventing the total annihilation of all that they knew.
Wishing for the good old days to return, those simple moments of merely having to battle an Anti-Monitor or two, The FLASH began to vibrate his molecules, and run. He ran fast, until all that was left of him as he entered the Multiverse was a small wisp of smoke, rising up from the scorch marks his boots left on the ground.
The JLA then set about doing what they could, while also waiting for The FLASH to return.
Unfortunately, when he did return, it would be way too late to help any of them. [Art via]
