Superman discovers that Brainiac intends to launch all of humanity's missiles. While Batman forces Luthor to work with Grodd through the Martian Manhunter, other heroes keep the people in Scarecrow's city from harming each other. As Superman, Zatanna, and Red Tornado follow Brainiac as he transfers from one host to another, the other heroes track down the remaining villains. Luthor, Grodd, and Martian Manhunter are able, using Sinestro's ring, to divert the missiles into the sun, with the help of the Green Lantern Corps, and Brainiac is trapped in his own spaceship.
