The heroes confront the being manipulating Dr. Destiny, Know Man. He explains he was long ago experimented on by a Controller, made immortal, and learned that he must protect Earth from a future danger by giving the entire human race super-powers. With the help of Diana's lasso to see the world as it really is, Martian Manhunter defeats Know Man, who flees, and the heroes band together to face the looming threat as the new JLA.
