Plot

 * The Justice League is now a multi-planetary operation consisting of hundreds of members. A team is instructed to take down the tyrant Despero on the planet Kalanor, in which they succeed. This causes some controversy, as many do not believe that it should be up to the Justice League to deal with the affairs of every planet. Although Despero was a tyrant, he had supporters. Kalanor then falls into disarray and many blame the Justice League.
 * Lex Luthor (originally from Earth-2) serves as the liaison between New Earth and the pocket dimension (which includes displaced heroes such as Superman of Earth-8). He learns about the great power that the new Justice League, now called "Justice League Unlimited" possesses and brings up the concern with the league in the WatchTower. A debate ensues. The league brings up the fact that the vast majority of civilizations in the galaxy of improved standard of living due to their intervention. However, Luthor brings up a few examples and explains that their missions need to respect the freedoms and integrity of the citizens. The league disobeys Luthor, who returns to the pocket dimension.
 * Superboy-Prime is growing more and more insane. He has arguments with Superman and Lois Lane of Earth-8 and complains that they had it "good" compared to his tragic life. He despises the Justice League and starts to wish that the Anti-Monitor won in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Lex Luthor talks to him, trying to knock sense into him.
 * Internal disputes occur in the Justice League. Meanwhile, Psycho-Pirate, currently being held in Arkham Asylum, escapes and understands the Justice League dilemma. He travels to the portal to the pocket dimension.
 * Lex Luthor decides to go back to New Earth to warn the Justice League about Superboy-Prime, however Psycho-Pirate destroys the portal. Justice League members Red Arrow, Cowgirl, and Black Canary appear. Luthor, thinking that the Justice League cut off connection to the portal, is now fully vengeful. Psycho-Pirate is killed in the fight.
 * Superboy-Prime finds the Anti-Monitor armor, dons it, and fights the heroes in the portal dimension, killing many of them. He approaches Luthor to tell him how to kill the Justice League. Luthor says that he cannot go back to them, but he purposely angers him more so that he goes berserk and bangs on the barrier of the pocket dimension until it cracks. He escapes it while the pocket dimension implodes, killing Luthor.

 * Superboy-Prime arrives with an army himself. The Kents are able to free Lois Lane, angering Superboy-Prime.
 * An all-out war ensues.
 * Superboy-Prime is winning. Before he is able to get to the Sword of Superman, Jonathan Kent picks it up, risking his life. He then goes toe-to-toe with Superboy-Prime.
 * Batman and Donna Troy then arrive and the three are able to stop Superboy-Prime. The Spectre sacrifices his physical body to destroy Superboy-Prime once and for all.
