"The Macabre Menace of the Mammal Called Armordillo"

As Superman leaves for his home parallel universe of Earth-1, the individual heroes seem ready to go their separate ways, but Captain Carrot tries to convince the others to stay as a team. He successfully talks Rubberduck and Yankee Poodle into staying with the team, as well as Fastback and Alley-Kat-Abra, but a cantankerous Pig Iron decides to head back to Piggsburgh. Destroying public property and getting into unwanted fights with Gnu York citizens in the process, the Swine of Steel ends up battling Captain Carrot after the team leader unsuccessfully tries to calm him down, and Pig-Iron casually tosses the subdued Captain away before causing even more damage to public property.

By pure coincidence, Captain Carrot lands on the side of the Wombat Communications building—where he works as the cartoonist behind the Just'a Lotta Animals comic-book—just as his super-powers disappear and his muscular frame shrinks back to Roger Rabbit's ordinary size. Despite his claim to be the heroic Captain Carrot, his co-workers do not believe him and inform him that his boss, Mr. Wombat, is docking his pay for being on a two-day coffee break. A somewhat dazed Roger, still dressed in his sagging Captain Carrot costume and believing his superhero days to be over, finds his way back to his office and eats his morning carrot from the window box there. Since the carrots in the window box are the ones that were irradiated by the meteor fragment, Roger regains his super-powers and leaps back into the fray as Captain Carrot.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team is attempting to subdue Pig-Iron when Captain Carrot returns, and, since Pig-Iron is unwilling to listen to them, they all attack him at once. Suddenly, he is abducted and taken up to an airship in the sky by a magnetic beam. There, the criminal leader of A.C.R.O.S.T.I.C.—Brother Hood—offers Pig-Iron (who has just shown himself to have criminal tendencies) a position as a super-villain in his organization but is initially rebuffed. Brother Hood then brings out Armordillo, a powerful and larger Southern character as tough as Pig-Iron, to change his mind. After a quick battle which Pig-Iron seems on the verge of losing, Captain Carrot bursts in to the airship to stop Armordillo's final blow against Pig-Iron. The Swine of Steel, now humbled by Cap's selflessness and angry as hell, fights Armordillo once more, this time knocking himout. The Zoo Crew members catch up to their would-be teammate just as Brother Hood vanishes and Pig-Iron kicks the rolled-up Armordillo out of the ship. The now-shamed Pig-Iron decides to join the newly-formed Zoo Crew, choosing the life of a hero rather than that of a villain, and all charges from his earlier rampage are dropped.
