Legends: The Collection #[nn]

In "Once Upon a Time...!", Darkseid unleashes the terrifying Brimstone to crush Earth's heroes, overwhelming the Justice League led by Martian Manhunter. While Firestorm absorbs the beast's power to hold it at bay, a tragic turn forces Shazam! to confront the cost of his strength when he accidentally kills Macro-Man, leading Billy to vow never to wield his powers again.

In "Breach of Faith!", Billy struggles to resist using his powers after a painful personal loss, but when Darkseid manipulates events through Glorious Godfrey—posing as political firebrand G. Gordon Godfrey—public sentiment turns violently against heroes. With Macro-Man's apparent death as the spark, President Reagan, swayed by Godfrey's rhetoric, issues an executive order banning superheroes from action.

In a world where heroes are outlawed and hunted, a desperate call goes out to the only team built for survival: the Suicide Squad. When Robin (Jason Todd) is ambushed by a mob after saving a child, and a revived Brimstone confronts the government's new Task Force "X," the line between justice and punishment blurs. This high-stakes mission tests loyalty, survival, and the cost of redemption in a nation that no longer wants its heroes.

In "Cry Havoc...!", Darkseid's grand design to dismantle Earth's heroes by weaponizing their very legends begins to unfold, with Godfrey—playing the role of G. Gordon Godfrey—fanning the flames of fear and doubt. As the Phantom Stranger watches from the shadows, he delivers a grim warning to Darkseid: even the mightiest schemes can falter when faced with the unbreakable spirit of those they seek to destroy.

In "Let Slip the Dogs of War!", as Darkseid’s scheme nears completion, the heroes make their last stand against Glorious Godfrey—posing as G. Gordon Godfrey—at a massive rally in Washington, D.C., where he aims to crush them once and for all. With the stakes higher than ever, Billy faces a desperate choice: embrace his power once more as Captain Marvel to turn the tide.

In "Finale!", as Glorious Godfrey unleashes a final, frenzied assault on the heroes in Washington, D.C. with a rabid mob, Jason Todd arrives with a group of young children, forming a human shield to protect them. When Godfrey strikes a child who refuses to move, the mob’s fury turns against him, but he retaliates with warhounds, forcing the heroes into a desperate defense—until he steals Fate’s helmet, only to be undone by its power when he tries to claim it for himself. Darkseid’s plan unravels in the chaos.
