Here it goes.

In the ad page: Live all the Justice League adventures against their archenemies with the SUPER POWERS COLLECTION!

Page 1
Box: Finally, Brainiac gets to final results after several experiences with his robot-men…
Brainiac: I did it! After many experiences, I got the final prototype! And from it will come out many slave machines!

Page 2
Brainiac: Very well, RV-2, get out and capture more human specimen so we can produce a huge army that will make me the supreme master of this planet.
Box: At night…
RV-2: We already have enough!
Brainiac: Hmm. That one looks like an excellent specimen!

Page 3
Box: Later…
Cyborg: What happened? Where am I? Who are you?

Page 4
Robot: You woke up for a terrible reality! We are guinea pigs for experiences done by a maniac that transform us into war machines!
Cyborg: I don’t know where I am, but I will use my ultramicro-transmitter to alert my friends.
Robot: I think there is nothing that can change our fate!

Page 5
Cyborg: That we’ll see!
Box: Far away…
Starfire: Look! I guess our friend’s foot walk wasn’t fortunate!
Raven: I will locate the frequency to find out where he is!

Page 6
Box: Meanwhile…
Cyborg: It’s past time we get out of here! Come on, let’s go!
The alarm!
Brainiac: They are running away! Seize them!
Cyborg: Hey you! Leave them alone! This fight is mine!

Page 7
Box: Suddenly…
Brainiac: You will never escape. These are high powered tentacles!
Cyborg: Ouch!

Page 8
Brianiac: You are stronger than my models! I will analyze your components to discover where all this strength comes from…
Box: Though…
Robin: Keep it cool, Cyborg… We came to help you!
Brainiac: Who are you?

Page 9
Brainiac: If you think you got me by surprise, you are wrong… the surprise will be yours!
Attack!!
Guardian: Roooar!
Brainiac: While my giant guardian ends up with you, I will get the fugitives.

Page 10
Cyborg: Never! Attack!
Guardian: Roooar!

Page 11
Wonder Girl: Let’s join our strength!
Wow, everything is mechanical in here!

Page 12
Cyborg: Now, bro’, let’s go hand in hand!

Page 13
Cyborg: Seeing as Brainiac is so fond of machines, let’s provide a crusher so he can break some stones in prison!
Titans: Ha ha ha ha!
Brainiac: Hmm!

That must be Romeo Tanghal on art. I never knew this existed!

I have Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkman and Penguin comic book’s.

This Cyborg comic book used drawings from The New Teen Titans series, and various from DC Style Guide.

The artists are Curt Swan and George Pérez.

Great find, Chip – and thank you so much for sharing. I had no clue this even existed.

Dr. “Seduction of the Innocent” Wertham is spinning in his grave!
Question for you Chip: why do you think the 2nd wave sold poorly? i didn’t know that, so it’s interesting to hear that was the case. My guess would be that the kids weren’t into the Kirby 4th World villains, and maybe kenner should have used the “Legion of Doom” villains everyone was familiar with? Do you have any inside info on this? I had no idea who those characters were when i was young, but i still loved the toys. Anyway, thanks again for sharing another of your amazing treasures!

I bought my Cyborg loose many years later.
Very cool with all those New Teen Titans in there.
Also interesting that Kid Flash is missing from the team.

The one that Brainiac came with is still one of my favorite stories for it’s simple yet profound examination of Batman.
I was not expecting the New Teen Titans in there, since every comic from the first two waves focused entirely on characters already produced in the line. Can’t wait for more!

Thanks for that. The art almost looks like a rushed Perez. Shame there isn’t an english translation. Brainiac versus Cyborg — brilliant!

I wasn’t expecting that.
