Lucius Fox, a business associate and ally of BruceWayne, who is really the superhero Batman, is kidnapped by government agents of Markovia, under orders of the country’s dictator, Baron Bedlam. Batman had the evidence that implicated Markovia in this crime, but his teammates in the Justice League had no legal standing to invade a country and refused to go along. So then, Batman decided to form a new group of heroes, completely unassociated with the Justice League, to complete this mission. The heroes he chose were Black Lighting, Katana, Lionheart. Metamorpho, Technocrat, and Halo. These heroes rescued Lucius from Baton Bedlam and destroyed the weapon he forced Lucius to build: a satellite that projects mind-altering rays. When confronted by government officials, the Justice League denied all accusations of their involvement in the raid of a foreign nation. These assembled heroes call themselves the “Outsiders” and continue to fight evil as the Justice League’s “denied-ops” division.
