## Series

### Season 1

Seeking to upgrade S.T.R.I.P.E. with an internal heating system to counter Icicle's freezing abilities, Pat scours for and buys an old exhaust pipe from the local junkyard overseen the man in charge there, Zeek. The man is somewhat suspicious and skeptical as to why Pat would even want a discarded and seemingly obsolete piece of a vehicle part bad enough to actually pay good money for it.

The next day, Pat is back at the junkyard and strikes up a conversation with the owner, Zeek. He's curious of what Pat's building since the latter's visits to buy parts from his yard were becoming more frequent as of late, but he says he's just building a vintage mower. Picking his words and moving along, Pat finds a black cat and goes to pet it, before seeing Denise's beat-up car in the lot, magician's hat still in it.

### Season 2

Pat receives a call from Zeek that Mike is at the junkyard, wanting to buy an old car. Pat drives to Zeek's auto junkyard, and Barbara insists on going with him. She reminds Pat that Thunderbolt said Mike is lonely. They find Mike and Zeek checking out a junker. Pat asks Mike what he's doing, and Mike says that he might buy a car, as a getaway car for the team. After asking Zeek to step aside, Pat tells Mike that they'll work to him buying a car and he understands his frustration. Mike is upset, and Pat suggests that they work on a JSA project and start small. Smiling, Mike hugs Pat and thanks him as Barbara looks on, smiling. While there, a pile of Stop signs are for sale at $3 each, marked down from $5.

One day while helping Zeek, Mike goes into garage and looks through the parts. He finds a drill bit, unaware that Cindy is watching him. She sneaks up on him and Mike tells her to stay away from him. Cindy isn't impressed and says that she wants Mike's help. She explains that she's putting together a team and Mike is a vital part of it. He would never join her, and Cindy laughs as she doesn't want Mike on the team. He doesn't do anything, just like Pat. He's just going to be the bait. She abducts him and holds him hostage at BVHS to lure the JSA into a fight.

## Season 3

Icicle lures the Justice Society of America to the junkyard under the rouse of wanting to strike an alliance to defeat the monstrous Ultra-Humanite. He chose the junkyard as it's mutual ground. When S.T.R.I.P.E. unexpectedly arrives, he reveals Starman is actually the Ultra-Humanite. This kicks off a vicious fight between S.T.R.I.P.E. and Ultra-Humanite, while the JSA fights the Mahkent family.

The junkyard retains immense property damage, including exploded cars, damaged cars, and a broken scaffold.
