Años después de Zod, Superman y Supergirl son símbolos de esperanza. Pero un accidente con kryptonita roja hace que Kara pierda el control y destruya un bloque de edificios de Maxwell Lord, empresario y político influyente. Aunque Superman la detiene, Lord aprovecha el caos: manipula vídeos de la batalla contra Zod, presenta a los kryptonianos como amenazas y se postula como Ministro de Defensa con una ley que obliga a registrar a todos los metahumanos. Quien se niegue será cazado. Incluso se autoriza el uso civil de armas de kryptonita. El país se divide. Lois Lane denuncia la campaña, mientras su padre, el General Sam Lane, la califica de “cacería de brujas.” Lord crea un escuadrón liderado por Deathstroke con Rick Flag, John Stewart, Dinah Lance y John Henry Irons, diseñando armamento anti-kryptoniano. Superman intenta dialogar, pero es silenciado y obligado a ocultarse. En su ausencia, surgen héroes novatos como Flash, Atom, Stargirl o Blue Beetle, inspirados por él. Lord se somete a un experimento con sangre kryptoniana y se convierte en un híbrido inestable. Tras una brutal batalla contra Superman y el escuadrón, la verdad sale a la luz gracias a Mister Terrific: Lord manipuló todo. Arrestado, su ley cae y los héroes ganan legitimidad. En el epílogo, Supergirl busca redención, Superman vuelve al Daily Planet, Lex Luthor prepara su carrera política y Bruce Wayne aparece, insinuando la formación de un equipo.
