The Black Canary Archives, Vol. 1 by Gardner F. Fox

Today he robbed a piece from a local museum, and the power he got from it was an extra-dimensional vision that allowed him to see into parallel universes. They all knew that Ultraman receives a new super-power every time he is exposed to green Kryptonite. At that moment, Ultraman came in and joined the other four with a surprise announcement. Local police forces did not seem to pose any real threat to the success of their crimes, but even in that regard they had noticed they were getting a little rusty in using their super-powers. The members of the CSA gathered together in their secret headquarters and began discussing the fact that lately they seemed to be losing their edge in committing crimes because their powers made it so easy. They are Ultraman (Superman), Owlman (Batman), Superwoman (Wonder Woman), Johnny Quick (the Flash), and Power Ring (Green Lantern). These super-villains greatly resemble in costumes and powers, five members of the Justice League of America.

They have banded together to form a group called the Crime Syndicate of America.

There are only five people on Earth-Three with super powers and all five are villains. It is also due to the reverse nature of this universe that on Earth-Three, there are no super-heroes on this world. It was in the Revolutionary War that Colonial England won it's independence from the United States, and in 1865, it was actor Abe Lincoln that shot and killed President John Wilkes Booth. On Earth-Three, Columbus was an American who discovered Europe. On this Earth there exists a 'reverse' natural order from the two other worlds. The narration reveals that this is Earth-Three, and things are different on this Earth than they are on both Earth's One and Two. On that same Earth, two other super-beings, Power Ring and Superwoman, escaped nearly being caught as they committed crimes. The local police almost caught him in a net, but he eluded them. In a city on a third Earth, a scarlet super-speedster streaks down a street, but in this case, he was not stopping a robbery, he had just committed one. Meanwhile, in Keystone City on Earth-Two, the Flash (Jay Garrick) stops two crooks from committing a robbery in his city. One day in Central City on Earth-One, the Flash (Barry Allen) stops two crooks from robbing a store and nearly shooting a rookie cop.
