History

(All Star Comics I #36) - Wonder Woman performed her secretarial duties at t a JSA meeting when the JSA learned of formerly respectable men were creating a nationwide crime-wave. Green Lantern went in search of Calvin Stymes, who'd recently went on a hunting trip with the five men while the rest of the team except Wonder Woman split up to capture the men. Green lantern learned that Stymes wanted revenge on the men who traumatized him in college, so he exposed the men to Koehaha, the Stream of Ruthlessness, which turned them evil. Wonder Woman sent out a message for the JSA to return the criminals to JSA hq, and the entire team went to Koehaha. Stymes knew the JSA was onto him, so he detonated explosives by the stream, but the JSA survived and a landslide crushed Stymes. The JSA knew the effects of the Koehaha would wear off and offered to testify at the criminals' trials so they would be found innocent by reason of temporary insanity.
