Rebirth
The Justice League of America was finished destroyed in part by the machinations of Darkseid of Apokolips and his war against the Legends of Earth. In the process several members were killed and the team was disbanded. However the anti-hero riots controlled by G. Gordon Godfrey (alias Glorious Godfrey of Apokolips) continued with a wave a hate sweeping the United States, it came to a focus at a rally in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial where a group of heroes assembled by Doctor Fate I fought off a hoard of Parademons along with the newly formed Suicide Squad. In the battle Wonder Woman made one of her first major public appearances and Glorious Godfrey was defeated ending his mind control of the innocent public gathered there.
It was then at the suggestion of Doctor Fate that those heroes who fought there that day should band together to replace the recently dissolved Justice League of America, it was the Blue Beetle II that suggested that the group be called the Justice League (minus the of America). Shortly afterwards the heroes moved into the old Justice League Sanctuary with a roaster that initially included Green Lantern: Guy Gardener, Black Canary II, Mister Miracle (plus Oberon), Captain MarvelJ'onn J'onzz, Blue Beetle II and Doctor Fate with the Batman as the chairperson. All the while the formation of the new Justice League was being watched by the millionaire Maxwell Lord.
Maxwell Lord IV was a former journalist and son of an Professor of English, he was at the time head of Innovate Concepts Plc after the death (before Lord could kill him) of it's President in a caving accident, it was this same caving accident that introduced Lord to a hidden computer system created by the New God Metron in an effort to study Earth. However the computer system had been compromised by the Kilg%re (unknown by either Lord or Metron), an electronic lifeform that drew on electrical power to survive. It tricked Lord into teaming up with it and together they placed Maxwell Lord at the top of the business world making him one of the most influential people on the planet.
When the new Justice League emerged from the anti-hero riots the Kilg%re realised that it had found the puppets that it was looking for, it had the unsuspecting Lord set into motion a series of events that would lead the JL onto the world stage, it told Lord that they were manipulating the League as to promote world harmony, and to a certain extent this was true. The Kilg%re required power to survive and the best way to maintain a stable and controllable power supply was by having a peaceful and stable world community. To this end Maxwell Lord recruited John Charles Collins to have a bomb grafted to his chest and to lead a terrorist assault (using members of various 60's radical movements) on the New York headquarters of the United Nations when Doctor Light II (who Lord had recruited into the League, without telling them) in her civilian identity as a leading expert on solar energy was about to address the main assembly.
The assault went off without a hitch and as planned and Dr Light alerted the League using a forged signal device given to her by Lord. The League showed up and made short work of the poorly trained terrorists, Collins committed suicide (allegedly, Batman was the last person to see him alive) in a hope of setting off the bomb. It didn't detonate. Max never gave him the firing pin.
The new League was in business, after the UN incident the media was concentrated on the new League including the scorn of the Jack Rider Hot Seat, while the Leagues own concentrations were on how Dr Light obtained a signal device. Their investigations were however cut short when three superbeings from the other dimensional world of Angor arrived in ours in an attempt to destroy all atomic weapons. They allied themselves with Rumaan Harjavti ruler of the small middle eastern nation of Bailya. Under his "guidance" they attacked first Israeli missile silos and then they headed for Russian sites where they were headed off by the Rocket Reds. The League who were in the process of chasing the three helped the Rocket Reds deal with a nuclear melt down caused by the confusion of the Angorian attack, it was eventually stopped by Wandjani (one of the Angorians) at the cost of his own life. The other two Angorian superbeings were taken into Russian custody and the League was ejected from Russian under a veil of secrecy.
Arriving back at the Sanctuary, the League found Lord who introduced them to their newest member in the form of Booster Gold. At first the League was suspicious of both Lord and Gold. However when Gold helped the League defeat the Royal Flush Gang (this was another set up by Lord whose lawyers had the Gang out on the streets the very next day) he was welcomed in while investigations on Lord continued (who had in the mean time declared himself the League's "official press liaison"). During this period the League was called to deal with an outbreak of a sentient virus at various Kord Inc (own by Beetle in his civilian identity) holdings.
While the League was dealing with the rogue servant of order called the Greyman (not before Guy Gardener was knocked out in one punch by the Batman), Lord called all his connections and favours that he had built up over the years into to use to place a resolution before the UN that would grant the League International status. With the help of the Creeper the League defeated the Greyman and returned to find things moving around them. Gardener had acquired a new almost child like personality via a bad bump to the head and Lord was beginning to bring J'onn J'onzz into the picture on his plans. Members of the League were also called to help the Phantom Stranger in the battle against an evil version of Doctor Fate.
While many people supported the UN resolution there was still much opposition to it, most vocally from the Rumaan Harjavti, however Russia and the US still had their doubts (they had never been part of the previous international superhero organisation called the Dome), these however were laid to rest when the League defeated yet another staged foe set up by the Kilg%re (this time without Lord's knowledge) in the shape of a New Genesis training satellite equipped with a Earth blasting beam that was targeted on several US military bases. The satellite was defeated in full view of the worlds media dramatically swinging public opinion in their favour. The UN resolution was passed with the condition that Captain Atom became a member of the team to placate the US government and Rocket Red #7 similarly joined to placate the Russians. With the new world coverage Captain Marvel and Doctor Fate resigned and Batman (who wanted to stay out of the limelight) handed the leadership over J'onn J'onzz. With these changed made they went before the world for the first time as the Justice League International.
The deal with the United Nations meant that the JLI effectively worked as an independent city state with embassies provided by each of the UN member countries, the members functioned as duly deputised officers of the law and had diplomatic immunity. All this was over seen by Maxwell Lord in his position as the head of the JLI and Liaison with the UN.
Just after bring three of their main embassies on line in New York (embassy chief Maxwell Lord), Paris (embassy chief Catherine Cobert) and Moscow (embassy chief Boris Dmitravich Razumihin) the League was called to attend the Guardians of the Universe in the run up to the events of the Millennium (where the Manhunter using sleeper agents tried to stop the Guardians from ushering along the next stage in human evolution). The League found that they were affected as a team by the sleeper agents (with the revelation that Rocket Red #7 was a Manhunter) and personally with Booster Gold loosing his personal fortune while Lord was shot by his assistant (he was repaired by the Kilg%re that put a cut off switch into his brain - for future use).
Meanwhile the Global Guardians were winding down. Made obsolete by the more powerful and better backed JLI, the members went several ways, Jack O'Lantern I and Owl Woman signed up with Rumaan Harjavti while the Tasmanian Devil became the first to join the JLI as a reservist at the Canberra embassy. Green Flame and Ice Maiden II headed for Rio to blow their redundancy checks.
Former League member Red Tornado had been elevated to the status of an elemental by the Crisis, in his elemental fury to ride Earth of polluting factors he took the form of a hurricane making for the Louisiana coast declaring his intention to cleanse the earth. The League intervened but was only saved from destruction by lingering memories of Tornado's time with the League. Putting out an all members alert Beetle summoned Captain Atom on to the scene who engaged the Tornado at his own game, in the process diverting the path of the Hurricane directly towards swampland. While not populated that particular area of swamp land was the home to the Swamp Thing. After the situation was resolved Captain Atom became one of the few "mortals" that was respected by the Tornado.
The League formed the core of the group (including Hawkman II, Hawkwoman I, several Green Lanterns, Dr Fate II, Firestorm and Superman) that attacked the Manhunter gestation world and in the process met G'nort for the first time. Upon returning Lord was distressed to find that none of the non-members of that temporary team wanted to become full time members and revealed that he was being manipulated by a computer system. This again was a ploy by the Kilg%re and Lord, this time to bring the JLI into conflict with Metron by using the Construct as bait.
The Kilg%re hoped that the League (with Rocket Red #4, the replacement for the Manhunter agent) would attack Metron and remove him so that it might continue using Metron's earthly computer system. Initially there were hostilities with Captain Atom firing at Metron. This gave the Kilg%re the time that it needed to take over Metron's Morbius chair and create a Boom Tube to New Genesis where it then tried to take over Supertown, it was however defeated with help from Darkseid. The Kilg%re fled into Earth's computer networks making it appear as if it had been destroyed taking the chance to lay low and recover its spent power.
With the Kilg%re gone the repairs to Lord fell apart and the League had to rush him to hospital where he recovered. While he was there he joined the seemingly harmless secret society called the Arcana and helped Amanda Waller reign in a rogue Suicide Squad operation that saw the Batman remove himself from full time status over differences with J'onn. He continued as a reserve member and shifted to a more covert guidance role. Black Canary also quit for personal reasons.
With their money gone Green Flame and Ice Maiden applied to the Rio embassy for membership of the JLI, they were referred to New York. Before their application could be properly dealt with the Cluster arrived in local Earth space.
The size of a small planet, the star ship called the Cluster is operated by the gaseous being known as Manga Khan (founder of the Manga Khan School of Melodrama) who inhabits a metal body to give himself physical form, the rest of the cluster is made up mainly of robotics drones and droids who are at his beck and called. The Cluster operates on a principal of interstellar barter, the arrive at a star system and offer the inhabitants of the area the option: Shop or Die!
After stripping the planet Yeckameckokivia the Cluster turned it sights on Earth while being tracked by G'nort. Moving into Earth's obit while cloaked the Cluster established a ground base deep in the Australian Outback and then L-ron the mechanical assistant of Manga Khan made a global television broadcast with the offer of barter, and stressing the point that if the people of Earth did not barter the Cluster would just take what they wanted anyway.
While the UN debated the ultimatum the League swung into action splitting into two teams, J'onn, Rocket Red and Captain Atom launched an attack on the orbiting Cluster now visible after an attack by G'nort to their cloaking unit (accidental more than anything) while the others (including Green Flame and Ice Maiden to boost numbers) attacked the Australian ground base. While the actual attacks were not that damaging to the Cluster itself they did however severely damage its profit margin and Khan was forced to retreat before he went into the red on the operation. In the process they sucked the ground base literally off the face of the planet and back into the Cluster in the process capturing the unwitting Mister Miracle.
With Miracle captured by the departing Cluster J'onn began to organise a rescue mission with Miracle's wife Barda. Finding out that Mister Miracle was actually Scott Free the natural son of Highfather of New Genesis, Khan set course for Apokolips in hope of opening trade with Darkseid.
Meanwhile the Batman had lead a small undercover force into Bailya in an attempt to uncover exactly what Harjavti was upto when he began organising a special occasion for the worlds press. In their cover identities of Bruce Wayne and his entourage Batman, Beetle, Booster and Green Flame made their way into Bailya, where they witnessed a coup by Harjavti's consort the so called Queen Bee with the aid of a zombiefied Wandjina (who had been acquired from Russian authorities by former members of the Global Guardians) Harjavti was the first to be killed by Wandjina in front of the worlds press. Confusion ensued, their existence revealed Batman was forced to change into the disguise of Maxwell Lord while Beetle and Booster were detained. A state of emergency was declared and the boarders were sealed trapping the League force.
Using the confusion and security of the clamp down the Queen Bee began abducting the personalities and dignitaries who were gathered in Bailya and started a program of conditioning and hypnosis in an effort to control them. The captured Beetle and Booster were conditioned with the other dignitaries (conditioning that would resurface in several months) before Batman could rescue them. The League force was cornered by Wandjina and was only saved by the intervention of Captain Atom who reduced the zombified Wandjina to debris. Charming as ever the Queen Bee expelled the League task force and choose to keep quiet on the affair.
In deep space the rest of the League were using Barda's mega-rod to generate a Boom-tube to get a head of the Cluster. Enraged Khan took a contract out with the bounty hunter Lobo on the League. Barda managed to use a Boom tube this time to warp Lobo far away from the League, however she did not check the settings and inadvertently sent him crashing into the New York embassy where he immediately got into a fight with Gardener (with newly restored original personality). With the battle calmed Lord sent out members of the League to recruit heroes to bolster the ranks of the League. Hawkman II and Hawkwoman I were recruited by Batman, Lobo decided to stick around to wait the return of the space bound Leaguers and then kill them all in one go (feeding them the line that we was actually one of the good guys), plus Green Flame and Ice Maiden changed their names to Fire and Ice.
J'onn and co. arrived at Apokolips where they joined up with a resistance cell while Khan courted Granny Goodness with Scott Free. After obtaining a new set of armour to replace that destroyed by Lobo, Rocket Red joined the rest on an attack of Granny Goodness's orphanage in a effort to free Scott. In the process Barda Boom-tubed the rest of the League (including Lobo) to Apokolips as reinforcements. All hell broke loose, with Lobo, Parademons, the League and anybody else in the general area fighting all over the shop. Order was only restored when Darkseid himself intervened, he handed back Scott to the League stating that he had no interest in him, then before chastising Granny Goodness Darkseid Boom-tuded the entire League back to Earth right into the middle of the ensuing alien Invasion.
Numerious alien races have tried to invade or at least ravage Earth in the past, however major political groupings of these aliens have always been broken up by the Guardians of the Universe and their agents the Green Lanterns. With the downsizing of the Green Lantern Corps after the departure of the Guardians nothing was left to stop alliances between the military bent aliens in this sector of space. Many recognised Earth with its superhumans was a distinct problem so a alliance was formed that included the Thanagarians (home world of Hawkman III) , the Daxamites (a planet with individuals who gained Kryptonian like powers under a yellow sun), Khunds (a sever warrior culture), Dominators (a scheming race of cruel scientists), Psions (an old experiment of the Guardians of the Universe), the Citadel (rulers of the Vega system), and many others.
After months of ground work by mercenaries the Alliance made their move, forming a beach head in Australia they destroyed the JLI embassy in Canberra. The UN ordered superhumans to site tight while it decided how to respond, however many choose not to obey and the battle started in earnest to repel the invaders. It was to this initial phase of counter attacks that the League returned to. Stationed to the south Pacific the JLI with Wonder Woman dealt with Khund fighter convoys while other heroes dealt with other similar threats across the planet. At the sametime Oberon single handily captured an entire group of miniaturised Khunds, knocking they out he left them boxed up in the New York embassy kitchen.
The balance was turned by the Daxamites defecting to Earth's side (which would lead to Earth's first treaty with another world) and by the rebellion of the Alliances prisoners to form eventually the Blasters and LEGION. Beaten off. The superheroes around the world were left to help with the clean up operation. The JLI still in the south pacific had to deal with a string of crashed Khund space ships making sure no nasty surprises were left. In the process they discovered the newly formed Injustice League trying hopelessly to steal a Thanagarian craft, they were handed over to the military authorities just as the Dominators sought their revenge by detonating the Gene-bomb.
The Gene-Bomb was an experimental weapon that effected only those with the so called meta-gene, a section of DNA that makes it possible for humans to acquire superhuman powers. Across the planet thousands of people went down sick including a lot of people who never knew they had the gene in the first place. A mission was launched including several League members against the Dominator homeworld in an effort to retrieve the antidote to the sickness.
The Gene-bomb sickness was cured but it still left an effect on the meta-humans of Earth, Fire's powers were dramatically transformed, Metamorpho was raised from the dead, Booster Gold was revealed to have a dormant metagene and even Maxwell Lord found that he had the meta-gene. After the invasion there was a period a calm as people tried to come to terms with what they had just faced. Max returned to the mountain computer site in an effort to find out if the Kilg%re had known about his meta-gene. The remnants of the computer system, were detonated by the shattered remains of the original computer system (the Kilg%re having long fled) trapping Max, he was saved by Beetle and Ice (it turned out that Max had inadvertently summoned Beetle telepathically with his new found ability a side effect of which was a nose bleed each time he used it).
As superheroes were leaving the field hospital set up at Bellia Reve to deal with the meta-gene sickness they were handed invitations to a party at the NY embassy - it was a cover by Max and Oberon in an effort to review possible membership candidates. In the process Hawkman II quit, the Khunds in the kitchen returned to normal size only to find themselves in a house full of superheroes (they were killed when they tried to use the League teleporters to escape to Australia, unfortunately the tubes no longer existed in Australia and they were reduced to nothing). Out of the party goes Max announced that the JLI was expanding setting up a second team of superheroes permanently based in the Paris embassy. While the JLI remained the umbrella organisation there now existed two team the JLA operating out of New York (J'onn, Fire, Ice, Beetle, Booster, Gardener, Miracle and occasionally Batman) while the Justice League Europe operated out of the Paris embassy (Captain Atom, Rocket Red #7, Metamorpho, Animal Man, Power Girl, Flash III and the Elongated Man).
The spot light of the world switched for a time from the JLA onto the newer JLE, they found that the French were wary of the JLE and still held the Leagues predecessors the Global Guardians in awe. A scheme was set by the Queen Bee to discrete the JLE by having mind controlled former members of the Guardians attacking the League, she also set it up to look like the League had destroyed the Dome.
The world attention on the JLE gave members of the JLA the chance to catch up on personal problems as Beetle and Booster took repossession work (on a vampire). Still on the offensive the Queen Bee activated Beetle's conditioning and he was forced to attack Maxwell Lord badly injuring Oberon in the process, he was eventually stopped by the Huntress. Amanda Waller tried to remove the conditioning but ran up against hypnotic safe guards that shut Beetle's mind down, in the end it was up to Kent Nelson (well Nabu the lord of Order who was currently possessing the corpse of the deceased Kent Nelson). The process had to be repeated on Booster Gold to remove his inactivated programming. In the meantime Ice went for her first date with Guy Gardener and ran into the Black Hand while Fire began her training at the hands of Barda in the use of her new "living fire" abilities.
A serious crisis was faced when a young hood stole Barda's mega-rod after murdering his gang, friends and a number of police officers he was brought down by Miracle and the Huntress. This prompted Max to pay a visit on the Huntress and offer her membership (not with out a little use of his coercion power).
Back in Paris the JLE had traced the events back to Bailya, Power led a pre-emptive strike against the very core citadel of the Queen Bee that ended with an agreement between the two sides, Bailya would keep out of League's business plus the Queen would cut her links to Jack O'Lantern and the Dominator scientist that had been working for her and in return the League would steer clear of Bailya. Returning to Paris Metamorpho was reunited with his wife and Simon Stagg reared his ugly head. After further criticism from the press Captain Atom enrolled the entire JLE at nightschool to improve their French language skills.
In an effort to promote a sense to team harmony Max organised a tour of the active embassies by the current members of the JLI, in the process they saw the Canberra embassy being rebuilt, the outlandish going on's at the London Embassy, the efforts of Dr Light to revive the Rising Sun at the Tokyo embassy, the pool at the Rio embassy and the superior plumbing at the Moscow embassy. The League annexed the small island of Kooey Kooey Kooey (a sentient island somewhere in the pacific) as its landed holding on a request by the natives to keep the Russians and US from pressing for permission to build a military bases.
The JLE was called to reports of destroyed villages in central Europe while there they encountered the former inhabitants of the villages who seemed to be carrying some form a plague that turned the victims into pseudo-vampires, rendering them highly open to suggestion. The JLE became engaged in hand to hand battle with the victims to such an extent that a alert was sent for back up from the JLA.
The JLA arrived in a redesigned shuttle with Doctor Fate II (sporting a new gender to boot) who linked up with military forces in the area. The source of the plague soon became evident as a virus developed for Stagg Industries by a scientist called Dr Teasdale based on the strain called Poryphrya (the source of many vampire legends) the disease rendered the victim high suggestible but was eventually fatal. When Stagg double crossed Teasdale on a field test against human targets, the Doctor joined together with the latest Greyman in an attempt to gain their hands on Stagg's stockpile of the disease. Dr Fate and the Spectre brought this to the attention of the Lords of Order who declined to interfere. It was left to the combined forces of the JLI to stop the Greyman when his plan became evidence.
The Greyman sacrificed all of the victims at once and adsorbed the dream essences given off. In the process he severely injured Power Girl, killed Teasdale and only served to bring himself to the attention of the Lords of Order and the Lords of Chaos. They reduced the Greyman to a zombie who would continue his task without question or thought. In the aftermath Power Girl was rushed to hospital where emergency surgery conducted with Superman's help (his heat vision was needed to cut her skin) her life was saved but her power level was drastically reduced. The surgery was helped by machinery created by the former Green Lantern Kilowog who had just become the Leagues official Handyman.
The League entered another lull in external threats as internal matters once again came to a head. Chief among these were the antics of Beetle and Booster in using League funds to set up Club JLI, a resort project on Kooey Kooey Kooey that met with disaster when Major Disaster and Big Sur broke the bank (quite legally) and the island uprooted itself and went for a wander. Only the intervention of Aquaman with Major Disasters help stopped the run away island. Booster and Beetle were put on domestic duties as punishment which forced Booster to quit the League and help set up the Conglomerate. G'nort also returned this time against his arch enemy/best friend namely the Scarlet Skier and Mister Miracle left for a interstellar tour with Manga Khan (a robotic duplicate was left in his place without telling anybody).
Meanwhile in Europe the Crimson Fox became the first new member of the JLE replacing Animal Man who left for personal reasons. Metamorpho got to see his child for the first time, but only by defeating the Metal Men and Guy Gardener. A certain yellow cat made his first appearance and League members caused chaos at that years Film Festival.
It was at this point that the two Justice League teams began to operate more independently of each other by necessity of crisis in each of their locals that tired them up for days at a time in cases. In the US the journalist Wally Tortilini almost exposed the JLA's secrets before his story was suppressed by the Crimson Fox in her civilian identity.
Despero had returned, the killer had battled the old Justice League of America and had always proved hard to defeat. Now with having clawed his existence back from being a dispersion of free floating molecules he was after revenge from the League that he remembered. He destroyed the life support that was keeping the remains of Steel alive, he also killed Gypsies family and her entire town, he would have killed her had it not been for the intervention of J'onn J'onzz. In the battle Despero destroyed the League shuttle and the robotic duplicate of Mister Miracle. He was only defeated by the use of Mayavana by J'onn. Mayavana is the Martian ability to create dream reality in the mind of another, it is normally seen as a great gift between loved ones. J'onn used it to let Despero think that he had won, contented he devolved to an embryonic form. In the wake a funeral was held for Mister Miracle (or his robotic duplicate at least).
In Russia the Silver Sorceress and Blue Jay managed to escape their captivity. Jay fled to the JLI while the Sorceress returned to her home planet and in the process accidentally allowed the villains that had destroyed her world to escape to ours. Blue Jay managed to get to the Moscow embassy and was about to be handed back to the authorities by the hard line embassy chief before Metamorpho intervened and in the process he became the first superhuman from Earth to engage the Extremists.
The Extremists managed to defeat the JLE, the Rocket Reds and take control of the Earth's nuclear stoke pile before they transported the League to the planet Angor where they uncovered the truth behind the Extremists. The real extremists had actually been wiped out in the nuclear holocaust, the beings that had invaded Earth were actually created by a theme park as robotic attractions that had been taken over by Dreamslayer (the sole surviving real Extremist). Returning to our world the JLE defeated the robots by having their creator Mitch Wacky shut them down. Dreamslayer was temporally dispersed by the Silver Sorceress. The Sorceress and Jay became member of the JLE afterwards.
The JLE was forced to move into the London embassy after the Beefeater (a mad English would-be-hero) accidentally destroyed the Paris embassy. The move to London brought the attention of Metawise, a multinational criminal organisation that collects date on superheroes and sells it to supervillians, they kidnapped the JLE cat and implanted it with a camera and microphone in an effort to spy on the JLE.
Back in America the JLA was having a member ship crisis, the low number of members prompted a membership drive, made all the more serious by the return of Mister Miracle (who promptly took a leave of absence). As the Cluster dropped Miracle off, the League swapped the embryonic Despero for L-ron, in an attempt to get the murder off the Earth. The New Gods Orion and Lightray were brought in as members to increase the power of the team.
The Journalist Wally Tortilinii was having his own problems with Metawise, Inc who were after his notes on the JLA. This led him to help the villain Sonar escape from a bungled League training mission, in the process Tortilini found himself in a bar for supervillains. In a game of poker he won all their superweapons, and used them to protect himself against Metawise agents. However the villains got blamed for the destruction and were rounded up by the League just after they had reclaimed their weapons from Tortilini.
In Europe the JLE was having troubles with old villains after they had defeated the killer of Crimson Fox's parents they found themselves faced with the old League foe of Starro who claimed that he was just trying to get back to his homeplanet. It was a ruse and he quickly gained mind control over London and a large surrounding area before his central conscious managed to take control of J'onn J'onzz, in the end it was left up to Ice to freeze the central star fish into dormancy there by cutting the mind control of all the others. As par with the course the defeated Starro was kept in the fridge until he was unloaded onto Manga Khan in return for a future favour.
The JLA was rocked by the events surrounding the return of General Glory I and his subsequent framing by a romantic rival from the war, in the process Glory had to go up against his arch enemy again: the Evil Eye. In the end the truth was revealed and Glory was taken on board as a full time member to replace Orion and Lightray who quit the League for its lack of willingness to kill people. Afterwards J'onn, G'nort and Kilowog tried for an aliens together night out on the town, only to be arrested by the police.
The impending trouble to face the JLI started when Beetle tried to regain his shape after a period of inactivity, he was tormented by Gardener and the matter almost came to blows before General Glory suggested that it was best settled in the boxing ring. Beetle was easily wining the match when Gardener enraged, attacked Beetle from behind during the interval badly bruising him. J'onn threatened to throw Guy out of the League but before any action could be taken it was revealed that Maxwell Lord had been shot by a sniper out side the New York embassy.
