Stories

  • The League That Defeated Itself · 17 pages

    The Justice League get to use the villains' bodies and the Secret Society proceeds with their own plans as the JLA members try to get their bodies back and find the SSOSV.

Publisher’s description

Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Zatanna, now in the bodies of the Secret Society members, escape imprisonment aboard the JLA satellite and attempt to return to their true forms. Using the super-villains’ powers, they overcome Red Tornado (who naturally mistakes them for the real villains) and learn the location of the Secret Society headquarters from an incarcerated former member, Hi-Jack. However, their attack is foiled by the appearance of the remaining Justice League heroes, who have been alerted by the five villains masquerading as Leaguers. All the heroes-turned-villains are captured, except Zatanna, who escapes in the guise of Star Sapphire.
