Watching a newsreel about the Torch, The Wizard thinks it would be a great challenge to match his skills against him. The Wizard considers himself the world's greatest brain. He sees beating Johnny as somehow (the ultimate achievement,) and tricks Johnny into rescuing him when a digging machine he's trying out appears to go wrong. Showing off his home in gratitude, he suddenly douses Johnny with flame-retarding chemicals.

  • Watching a newsreel about the Torch, The Wizard thinks it would be a great challenge to match his skills against him. The Wizard considers himself the world's greatest brain. He sees beating Johnny as somehow "the ultimate achievement," and tricks Johnny into rescuing him when a digging machine he's trying out appears to go wrong. Showing off his home in gratitude, he suddenly douses Johnny with flame-retarding chemicals.
  • The Wizard makes Johnny a prisoner and with a special suit impersonates him, commits a bank robbery, performs a mass jail-break, extorts money from commuters on a bridge, all to make The Torch appear a criminal, and "prove" he is superior. Later, The Wizard shows Johnny photos that prove he committed the crimes but since Johnny won't kill an unarmed man he'll have no choice but to watch as The Wizard burns the evidence but the photos fly from The Wizard's hands. Johnny calls the police, turning over the pics and the Wizard. We discover he beat the Wizard with help from Sue.
  • A criminal called The Hyena is causing truck crashes, the latest of which resulted in the driver being killed. Although Lennox, the manager, advises Lorraine Miller, the company owner, to sell out, she's determined not to, and accepts help from The Torch and Toro. Following another crash, they capture 2 of the hijackers, and Lorraine figures someone inside the company tipped them to the truck's secret route. The Torch and Toro barely manage to save her life and capture the villains. After, The Torch says of Lorraine, "She's got everything it takes-- plus!"
