Prologue

While dealing with an enemy named Inferno who has been terrorizing the Green (Swamp Thing's avatar), Batman and Atom are trying to find out where Martian Manhunter's powers went following the events of Absolute Power . New Justice League member Air Wave helps free Gorilla Grodd and the rest of the prisoners out before escaping to meet up with the Legion of Doom (Joker, Lex Luthor, Bizarro, Sinestro, Captain Cold, Scarecrow, and Black Manta) from the past. Inferno is revealed to be an alternate name for the Legion of Doom. [3]

Main Story

In the past, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are going to Gotham City on a jet alongside Hal Jordan when Hal's jet malfunctions and he is forced to crash due to Grodd. Superman, Batman, and Flash go to Gorilla City, where Grodd manages to possess Superman's mind by separating the heroes from each other. Solovar teams up with Batman, Flash, and Hal to apprehend Superman, but he threatens to kill him using a powerful ape named Titano. They manage to free Superman from Grodd. While imprisoned, the present Grodd travels to the past and possesses his past self. [4]

Grodd frees himself and manipulates Air Wave to be on his side by giving him illusions of the Justice League being evil, while recruiting past versions of the Legion of Doom members to create time traveling devices. Grodd accesses Air Wave's memories to gain the Justice League's secrets before seemingly killing him. Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, Black Lightning, Shazam, Carol Ferris, Green Arrow, Donna Troy and Stargirl arrive to confront them after tracing Air Wave's energy signature. [5]
