Synopsis

After the Justice League's time stopping criminals, Lex Luthor bands together with Sinestro and Black Manta to form a team of their own which he dubs the Legion of Doom. Meanwhile, Darkseid is shown to have defeated the Justice League, with Cyborg being the sole exception. Cyborg manages to defeat Darkseid and save the League. Unfortunately, this turns out to be a dream Cyborg was having. Cyborg wakes up just in time for the elections for the leader of the Justice League. Batman wins the election 3-1. Elsewhere, the Legion of Doom uses an obstacle course to determine who will get to join them with the contestants being The Joker, Man-Bat, The Penguin, Cheetah, Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, Deathstroke and Giganta. Only Captain Cold, Grodd and Cheetah make it to the Legion as Giganta is rejected for her massive size, Deathstroke for literally destroying the course and the rest are rejected to prevent the Legion from being too big. After triggering a stink bomb recent battle with the Trickster, Cyborg begins to doubt his worth on the League. Quickly the League becomes aware of the Legion of Doom and their plans to rob Area 51. The League battles the Legion. Darkseid manages to use a Father Box to teleport Lex into a vault containing what he was after. The Legion escapes with a cell. After opening it, its contents are revealed to be a martian named J'onn J'onnz, who Lex plans to use against the League. He tells J'onn that the Legion of Doom are the good guys and the Justice League is evil. Back at the Hall of Justice, Cyborg begins to question what he should do to be a better member. After a misconception from Wonder Woman, Cyborg gives himself excessive weapons. As he walks along the hall, he appears to notice two Batmen. As it turns out, one of them was J'onn, who hacks the Hall of Justice computer to create a false mission alert about the Metropolis power station preparing for destruction. When the League arrive at the power station, Cyborg sees that the station seems perfectly safe, while the rest of the League can see the danger. This is because J'onn used his telepathy to make the fake mission alert look as real as possible. After the League launch the power station into space, they immediately realize the only damage present is the damage they caused and the public turns against them for destroying the power station, forcing the Justice League to be evicted to space. This however, turned out to be Lex's plan all along and the Legion then begin to divide which parts of the world they will control. This results in J'onn questioning the affiliation of the Legion. While disguised as Black Manta, he soon finds out that Lex planned to dispose of him once his usefulness expired. In space Sinestro uses the Father Box to send the Justice League to a black hole and Cyborg is destroyed in the process, but Batman realizes that it wasn't Cyborg, but rather Cyborg's robot assistant. The real Cyborg was still in the Hall of Justice trying to find out why the League saw the power station in danger while he didn't. He soon finds the microchip J'onn used to hack the computer, but Sinestro finds Cyborg and battles him. Just when it seems like Sinestro gained the upper hand, J'onn arrives and uses his telepathy to control him. J'onn explains how the Legion tricked him and how he tricked the League into turning themselves against the public and that his telepathy was ineffective on inorganic beings, explaining why it didn't work on Cyborg, whose brain was half-machine. J'onn sides with Cyborg and has Sinestro bring back the rest of the League. As the Legion attacks the city, the League split up to battle them one by one. The Legion is defeated and the League's names are cleared. J'onn apologizes for deceiving the League, but he is quickly forgiven and offered membership for the work as a true hero he performed with the League. He gladly accepts and adopts the name "Martian Manhunter" after a complement from Cyborg. Meanwhile, Lex tries to get Darkseid, to break him out of prison, but Darkseid refuses due to Lex's failure. As soon as he hangs up on Lex, Darkseid decides that if he wants to conquer the Earth, he will need help from an otherworldly being.
