Title:
Justice League of America (1960)
Synopsis:
”The Devil In Paradise!”
At the annual presentation of the Nobel Prizes, the Justice League receives a special award for its rescue of a top chemist from the crime syndicate known as the 100, and Dr. Viktor Willard wins the Peace Prize for his creation of the Pax serum, which turns aggressors into ”doves.” Unknown to all, however, Willard has gone mad, and intends to use the serum to unleash hatred in all the world’s nations, causing humanity to exterminate itself. His fiancee, Phyllis Temple, escapes his island hideaway and warns the Justice League, but even they are powerless when Willard threatens to kill Phyllis if they intervene. It is Villard’s own android creation, Nether Man, who turns on his master, and sacrifices his own existence to save Phyllis and the world.
