Red Tornado

Believing itself to be the original JSA associate Red Tornado visits JSA headquarters and announces its return to active duty.

The JSA, not recognizing the android, is incredulous but allows the Tornado to accompany them to defeat a theft at a nearby museum.

Through a series of mishaps choreographed by Morrow, Red Tornado appears to kill the JSA members.

Red Tornado then tracks Morrow to his lair, but is hit by an energy weapon, after which Morrow discovers that in order to succeed in his robbery the Red Tornado would have to be present.

Morrow revives him, but the Red Tornado defeats him in this instance.

When the remaining JSA members arrive to investigate, a booby-trapped weapon which the Tornado hopes would revive the 'dead' members fells them all.

Morrow then travels to Earth-One, where he defeats the JLA, just as he had the JSA before them.

Red Tornado, having recovered from his injuries caused by the energy weapon, as it partially protected him from its energy, follows Morrow and revives some members of the JLA.

The JLA and the android then defeats Morrow as he attempts to set Earth-One and Earth-Two at war with each other, uncovering a method to revive the remaining JLA and JSA back on Earth-Two.

Morrow confesses that Red Tornado is his android construct, but the JSA still admits him as a member in good standing, though the Tornado still feels like an outsider and wants to find his place.

When the mad Star-God Aquarius attacks Earth-Two, many JSA members are captured and sealed in a magical bubble as Aquarius phases Earth-Two out of existence.

Red Tornado escapes, reaching Earth-One and contacts the JLA.

The JLA disregards the android to tend to their own affairs, ultimately hearing him out two weeks later.

When they realize the JSA's dilemma, the JLA members quickly journey to the Earth-Two universe, defeating Aquarius and returning Earth-Two to normal.

Red Tornado often feels he is an outsider in the JSA and that he is not appreciated as a sentient, independent organism.

When he stumbles across the Creators monitoring Earth-Two, he seeks to impress his colleagues by defeating the aliens single-handedly.

Instead, the Creators capture and use Red Tornado as a conduit to bring Earth-One and Earth-Two together, the Creators hope the destruction of the two worlds would release enough energy to construct a new planet.

The JSA defeats the Creators and rescue Red Tornado; however, his easy defeat and manipulation leave Red Tornado more dejected than ever.

During the 100th meeting of the Justice League of America, the JLA is summoned to Earth-Two to assist the JSA in defeating the Iron Hand, a sworn foe of the Seven Soldiers of Victory (SSV).

The Iron Hand has created an orbiting weapon, shaped like a hand, that threatens Earth-Two, and the JSA are unable to stop it.

Doctor Fate summons a being known as the Oracle, who informs them of the Iron Hand's last defeat, which cost the life of one of the Seven Soldiers of Victory.

The JLA and JSA split into teams and rescue the members of the SSV, who had been scattered throughout time, and with their help create a weapon that would destroy the Iron Hand's device.

The delivery of the device to its necessary location is a suicide mission, one which Red Tornado secretly takes while the other heroes are engaged in dealing with the Iron Hand and debating over who would go.

In the resulting explosion, Red Tornado is believed to have been destroyed, however, Red Tornado survives and is catapulted to the Earth-One universe, where he ultimately became a member of the Justice League of America.

In the JLA, Red Tornado finally finds a measure of acceptance.
