Bit of an odd duck these guys. The whole tale kicks with JLA mascot Snapper Carr and his girlfriend getting kidnapped from a circus. They get rescued, thankfully, but this prompts the team to investigate. The team gets captured, and two of the aliens change themselves into exact duplicates of Barry Allen and Hal Jordan, and from there they lure the rest of the team into the future on a while goose chase, all save for Aquaman.
Yeah, Aquaman is the one to save the day. Why were the aliens kidnapping people? Story is a bit vague on that, plus why would they change the JLA to make them mimic a funhouse mirror reflection? Not an awful tale by any means but certainly not a memorable one.
