The year was 1978, a significant period in the Multiverse as there was numerous incursions into adjacent universes by superheroes and villains alike. For example, Earth-Two's Wizard drew four of his cronies in the Secret Society of Supervillains (and his new foe Captain Comet) first to Earth-Three before finally arriving at the world of his birth. In order to get there, he had to purloin items of power possessed by the Crime Syndicate of America, which led the Society and Comet in direct confrontation versus CSA. After discovering the cause of a mutant plague afflicting Earth-Three, originating from Power Ring's own battery, the Captain used Power Ring's power battery to transport him to Earth-Two where he would "destroy it". Whether that was done or not, this green lantern given to Power Ring by the evil Volthoom was transferred to Earth-Two's universe.
Wizard and his Secret Society also on this occasion stole Power Ring's ring of power, Superwoman's lasso and Johnny Quick's speed helmet... which he used to transport himself and his team to Earth-Two from Earth-Three. When they arrived on Earth-Two, these devices had disappeared from Earth-Three but had not reappeared there. These three items were replicated on Earth-One by the adversarial android Amazo, a foe of the Justice League! The Syndicators apparently retrieved them on Earth-Two after they’d been freed from their Limbo prison by Per Degaton during his “Crisis on Earth-Prime” caper.
As for Earth-Three's Volthoom battery, this compensated in Earth-Two's universe for Doiby Dickle’s sometimes sentient taxi cab Goitrude. Over the years while on the continued presence with Doiby’s best friend Alan “Green Lantern” Scott, the taxi absorbed the ambient emerald energies from Scott’s power ring and power battery. This radiation drew the cosmic criminal Sinestro, who had been transformed into a non-corporeal energy, to become one with the vehicle! Absorbing this emerald energy from Goitrude's car battery, Sinestro regained his physical body, resulting in Goitrude’s destruction of Earth-One! Similarly, Power Ring’s corrupted battery was destroyed on Earth-Two by Captain Comet once he brought it to that world.
