Synopsis for "The Crime of the Ages!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
All Winners Comics #19

The Human Torch and Toro write in the sky asking for the All-Winners Squad to meet at the city museum. Seeing the call to action come Captain America, Bucky, Sub-Mariner, the Whizzer and Miss America. Arriving at the museum, the Human Torch introduces the other heroes to the curator Professor Saba and his assistant Meke. Saba shows them that their display of the different ages of man have all been smashed and that a criminal calling himself Isbisa has left clues to each of the heroes offering them clues to various crimes that are inspired by the different ages. Also among the clues is a note from Isbisa that implicates the Sub-Mariner as an accomplice. When Captain America questions Namor about this, the Atlantean prince becomes angry and storms out with his clue to deal with Isbisa himself. Toro is the only person who believes that Namor is not involved, and angrily leaves to lend Namor a hand when the others are not so easily convinced. After Namor and Toro's departure, Captain America suggests that they split up and deal with each of the clues they have been provided. While at his secret hideout, Isbisa gloats over how he has outsmarted his foes.

She reveals that she too, is a robot, and she was "waiting" for a robot to be a mate. The two machines slowly approach him as he backs towards an open window which he falls through.
