When Vandal Savage threatened to carry out his plan for world domination, the Flash knew that he needed to take action. He reached out to a group of heroes from across the world, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, John Stewart, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, and Booster Gold, in order to unite them against this ancient evil.
Meanwhile, Vandal Savage was hatching a diabolical plan to take over the world. He had discovered that in the blood system of J'onn J'onzz, an alien from Mars who had stopped on Earth, there was the same meteor energy that had granted Vandal his own immortality and powers millions of years ago. He saw an opportunity to use J'onn for experiments, hoping to extract that energy and use it to increase his own power.
As the team of heroes came together, they found themselves facing not only Vandal's forces, but also the challenge of public opinion. After the events of Suicide Squad, the population was divided between those who trusted the government and those who put their faith in the heroes. To manage their reputation and ensure the public's support, the team enlisted the help of Maxwell Lord, a competent agent recommended by Ted Kord.
