Summary
Terra and her recruits look after Jason Burke, a young man who has been given with the powers of the Olympians by a mystic artifact given to him by his deceased father. At the same time, the Amazons of Themyscira request the Justice League's help to deal with Ares and his army of Spartans, who seek to destroy Athens.

Plot
15 years ago, the Spartans had been tasked by their general to forge a powerful magic artifact of measurable power for their lord Ares, the God of War. However, Alexander, the only Spartan soldier who did not worship the Wargod for his genocidal acts, stole the artifact and secretly gave it to his secret lover Alicia Burke, a successful and popular athlete in Olympic Games, for safekeeping before he was captured and executed by the other Spartans for betraying Ares as Alicia vowed to keep both the artifact and her infant son Jason away from the Wargod's sight. In present day, Jason (now an orphan after his mother's murder by the hands of an unknown assassin during the Olympic Games) finds the artifact his mother kept safe from Ares and, after linking it with her first Golden Medal, which was the key to unlock its power, ends up achieving God-like powers (including the Strength of Hercules, the Speed of Hermes, the Wings of Icarus and the powers of the main Gods of Olympus (the Light of Zeus, which enables him to cast and manipulate Lightning Bolts, the Arsenal of Poseidon, which allows him to craft Water-made constructs based on weapons, and the Spawns of Hades, which enables him to create Fire-made constructs based on Animals) as Toymaster watches everything from his drone and advises Terra that he found another one.

In the Watchtower, as Hippolyta watches Mera teaching Supergirl a few Atlantean moves and traits, Aya is able to uncover the identity of Alicia's killer as Orana, a rogue Amazon who formed an alliance with Ares and the Spartans. Batman and Wonder Woman chase Orana, who barely escapes with the aid of Ares' spawns. Jason tests out his newly discovered abilities until his home is attacked and destroyed by two Minotaurs which were sent by Ares to find and retrieve the artifact Alexander stole. Jason battles and defeats the two beasts, but fails to save his home. He is eventually approached and comforted by Terra, who offers him a new home and place with her team. Meanwhile, Vandal Savage arrives in Sparta where he confronts Ares, who rejects his offer of alliance to destroy the Amazons and the Justice League, claiming that he will do it on his own. From Odym, Superman and his fellow Blue Lanterns Arisia Rrab, Mala, Solovar and Oreo the Hawk overhear Ares' plans and decide to aid the League.

As Batman and the League work with the Amazons to prepare for battle, Hippolyta has an heart-to-heart with Lois Lane over her husband's absence as Lara is put under Alexa's care. After training with Terra and her teammates, Jason shows them the artifact his father had left for his mother before the Spartans executed him, which Toymaster analyses with his tech. Jason is also aware of Orana's killing of his mother, although Terra convinces him that his actions must be always about Justice, not Revenge. The young heroes are followed by the Blue Lantern Corps in Athens, where they plan to place the artifact into the center of the city to keep it safe from Ares, who is determined to battle the Amazons and the League. It is also on Athens where Orana plans to assassinate Hippolyta.

As the battle begins, the Amazons and the rest of the League work to restrain the Spartans and the other beasts while Terra's team search for Orana. Ares arrives in the battlefield to battle the League, but is intercepted and taken into a fight with Superman, who arrives there in time as his and the other Blue Lanterns' presence slowly reduces conflict in Athens. Orana attempts to assassinate Hippolyta with the same arrow she used on Alicia, but is stopped by Terra and Jason, who disarm her and defeat her in a fair fight. Just then, Orana has a vision of Jason with his mother, learning in horror and guilt of his parentage, which forces her to surrender to the Amazons and Terra places the artifact into the its rightful place, repelling everyone of Ares' forces from the city. Ares is weakened by the lack of conflict around the city enough for Superman to defeat him and is forced to retreat as he vows revenge on the Man of Steel. As the Amazons and the League work to repair the damage done in Athens and the Spartans retreat, Hippolyta thanks Superman for his and his Corps' help as Wonder Woman, pleased to see her friend again, shares a friendly embrace with him before he leaves with Arisia, Solovar, Mala and Oreo. Jason, now a official member of Terra's team as Omega Knight, pays one last visit to his parents' grave before he leaves with Terra.
