"The Killer Who Wiped Central City Clean!"
Police forensics scientist, Barry Allen, has breakfast with his beautiful neighbor, Fiona Webb. Senator Creed Phillips' butler, Harold, discovers the Eradicator's costume, laying on Phillips' bed. To protect his secret identity, Phillips disintegrates his butler. Captain Invincible leaps upon the hood of a getaway car. The car abruptly stops, hurling Captain Invincible to the pavement. Before he can strike the ground, Captain Invincible is saved by the Flash. In the time it takes the Flash to disable the getaway car, and turn the crooks over to the authorities, Captain Invincible makes his escape from the crime scene.
The Flash, as Allen, analyzes a voice recording he made of the Eradicator, in their last encounter. During a television interview, Phillips becomes agitated by the line of questioning, and storms out, dragging Webb behind him. When a security guard tries to intervene, Phillips disintegrates him, publicly revealing himself to be the Eradicator. Upon hearing the news of Webb's abduction, police captain, Darryl Frye, dons his Captain Invincible costume. Allen, also joins the manhunt, as the Flash. Hiding in a cave on the outskirts of Central City, Webb soon comes to the realization that Phillips is suffering from a split personality, and had no knowledge that he, himself, was the Eradicator.
When a bear threatens the couple, Phillips disintegrates it. The Flash begins his search for Phillips, and Webb, at Phillips' apartment. Unbeknownst to the Flash, Phillips had planted an explosive device, in his apartment, in an attempt to destroy his murderous alter-ego. Said explosive device is triggered, instead, by the Flash. The Flash vibrates his molecules into intangibility, but the blast wave still renders him unconscious, and partially fused with the wall. Captain Invincible discovers the Flash's predicament, and renders aid. Captain Invincible shatters the wall the Flash is trapped in, but overestimates the necessary force, sending them both plummeting to the street, far down below.
