Quotes

Xanadu: Listen, I have a theory. You don’t have the powers these people have without paying a heavy price. You know what it’s like, to destroy anything innocent that enters your life? To destroy love? You know what that does to you? A kind of darkness envelops you.

Synopsis “Justice League Part Three” (22-pages)

Previously: It is five years ago and Earth’s newly emerged superheroes are feared by a populice who cannot yet tell them apart from the supervillains. Matters begin when Gotham City’s Batman and Coast City’s Green Lantern find themselves fighting the same winged mechanical-demon. Together they follow-up the possibility that it is an alien creature by questioning the alien Superman in Metropolis. A misunderstanding leads to a brawl and Green Lantern calls in the Flash to back them-up. The four heroes have only just got their personal misunderstandings sorted when a box they seized from the first monster starts “pinging”. A massive teleportation portal suddenly opens and a hoard of identical creatures poor through. A second portal simultaneously opens in Detroit’s STAR Labs severely injuring Victor Stone, the son of Silas Stone, the scientist who had been studying another of the alien boxes.

Captain Atom: Your assignment: investigate. Prove Adams’ innocence or reconfirm his guilt and report back to me.

Synopsis “Cold Case”

Classified: General W. Eiling Eyes Only

General,

We have recently become aware of an investigation by the Justice League’s proteges into the 1968 murder conviction of USAF intelligence officer Captain Nathaniel Adams. As you will be aware the details are that a JAG board overseen by yourself (then a Colonel) heard from prosecutor Lt Kevin Blankly that Adams killed General Clement Lemar in revenge for supposedly arranging an ambush in Vietnam which wiped-out Adams’ platoon. Defending council Henry Yarrow, the only other survivor of the ambush, argued that Adams had been drugged and had no recall of his confrontation with Lemar. However, medical examiner Major Shirley Mason testified that no drugs had been found in Adams’ bloodstream. The public record recalls that you found Adams guilty of Lemar’s murder and that he died in prison a year later.

Synopsis “The Signal Masters Part 3″ (20-pages)

Previously: The UN Head of Intelligence, Andre Biggs, had sought to form a new incarnation of the Justice League from sanctioned international superheroes with transparent public identities. He put Booster Gold in charge of his manufactured group, but they were forced to retreat from their first mission in disarray. They had been sent to investigate the disappearance of a UN science team in Peru, but discovered a powerful robotic giant – the first of four “Signalmen” to appear. Booster only survived as leader because he had the backing of China’s August-General-In-Iron and the USA’s Batman. However, the Hall of Justice has been destroyed by arsonists and Booster has yet to resolve the situation with the giants.

Quotes

Batman: We weren’t gathered by a third party, to be sent on a mission we were unprepared for. You don’t know your team’s capabilities. Learn from this, Booster — follow your gut and make the team yours.

Synopsis “The Signal Masters Part 2″ (20-pages)

Previously: The United Nations seeks to found their own version of the the Justice League, an international superhero group, which they hope will redress the concerns that many people have over the international presence of unsanctioned and unaccountable superheroes. The new group will only contain heroes whose identities are known and go unmasked. It is overseen by UN Head of Intelligence Andre Biggs and led in the field by Booster Gold (a hero Biggs overestimates his ability to control). However, Batman is dubious about the plan and votes himself on to the team. Their first mission is to investigate the disappearance of a missing research team in Peru, but the team are scattered by the sudden appearance of a massive humanoid robot.

Dr Silas Stone: OPEN YOUR EYES, SON! Look at the world we live in today! We’re witnessing the birth of a new race of people. Super-humans. Beings who can fly, tear through buildings and outrun race cars. They will make what you “do” obsolete!
