The Shield in "Death Rides the Rails" - Ordinary humans are transformed into deadly minions due to the helmets of Dr. Wang! The nation's capitol, as well as everyday subways and factories, are not safe from these enslaved citizens. Even Shield is under mind control! Can Dusty break the spell and save the day? The Fireball in "Origin of the Fireball" - Ted Tyler makes his first appearance as the flame-throwing ultra-hero! A courageous firefighter is caught inside a burning building by the villainous Bug. Reborn as Fireball, the once and always hero looks to settle the score. Don't miss this debut!
