DC Definitive Edition #1404

In "null," Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman face a crisis that forces them to dismantle the Justice League after a series of events that have shaken their trust. While the Freedom Fighters fall in Washington, D.C., the Earth-2 Superman watches from Limbo—and decides to cross the boundary between dimensions to intervene.

In a story from DC Definitive Edition #1404, when Alex Luthor initiates his final scheme, Superman of Earth-2 reaches out to his cousin Power Girl. Though she has no memory of Kal-L or her world’s past, she journeys with him to meet a dying Lois Lane from Earth-2—whose final moments help awaken the forgotten truths of the old Multiverse, long altered by the Crisis.

In "null," Superman from Earth-2 visits Batman in the Batcave, guiding him through the unraveling of the old Multiverse and the fragile plan to restore it. As the Spectre wages war against magic—crushing Atlantis in the process—Aquaman’s forces battle villains beneath the waves, while the Amazons, facing dwindling strength, make a fateful choice to abandon humanity, leaving Wonder Woman isolated.

In "null," Alex pushes forward with a desperate plan to restore the original multiverse, using the dead Anti-Monitor’s armor as a core component of a vast, cosmic diapason. Drawing on the unique vibrational frequencies of surviving heroes—each tied to one of the five original Earths, and others whose echoes linger from worlds that were, or might have been—Alex attempts to realign reality itself.

In a fractured reality where the multiverse is being reborn, Alex’s plan reshapes Earth’s legacy—sending heroes to long-abandoned versions of their former worlds. On a desolate Earth-2, Kal-L confronts Kal-El, their bitter clash rooted in loss, while a pre-Crisis Wonder Woman warns Diana that time—and existence—are slipping away.

In "null," as the fractured multiverse stumbles back to life, Alex sets out to forge a "perfect" Earth—one without Superman—by merging and destroying alternate realities in the process. With heroes struggling to stop the collapse and the Spectre unreachable without a human host, the battle escalates when Superboy’s clash with Superboy-Prime shatters the tower holding the worlds together, freeing captives and unleashing new threats into the fray.

In a fractured moment across realities, two Supermen confront Superboy-Prime as his power wanes beneath a red sun’s fading light. With a final act of desperation, he strikes down the older Superman before being subdued by his younger counterpart, imprisoned on Oa in a cell forged to hold even the most dangerous. Though Alexander Luthor Jr. vows to remake the multiverse in his image, his plans end abruptly—cut short by the Joker’s hand.
