Kandor Invented Bitcoin!!

Nightwing and Flamebird are investigating the seemingly impossible locked-room murder of Kor-Am, the man in charge of Kandor's central computer system!!

Investigation reveals that Kor-Am was apparently living well beyond his means...

Well, see, it turns out that Kandorian currency is entirely on the internet (or whatever they called it in 1978 Kandor):

Ahh, Tonzols!!

Well, more investigation reveals Bitcoin Tonzol shenanigans have been going on!

Well, it turns out that Kor-Am was pulling the old "steal the rounding errors off of every transaction and no one will notice" trope.

And it turns out that Gav-Et got greedy, and killed Kor-Am with a thought-transfer helmet, planting a "hypnotic" suggestion in Kor-Am's mind to die when he hears a trigger phrase.

Kandor--hotbed of financial crime and crazy-ass murders!!

Evil Is All In The Spelling!!

Nightwing and Flamebird have tracked down the mysterious hooded Crime-Lord, the dude who's behind all of the crime in Kandor!

But his true identity just might surprise you:

No, dopey...not Jor-El...Jur-Ll!!!

That's how you know he's from an alternate dimension--the spelling!!

Oh, yeah, and the "ruler of a criminal empire" part. That's a clue, as well!

Yes, irony is a bitch, even in alternate dimensions.

I will say this--thanks to Marshall Rogers, Jur-Ll dies really well:

Well, that had to hurt.

Someone better get Grant Morrison on the horn quickly, before he finishes Multiversity...
