Something is happening at S.T.A.R. Labs that draws the attention of Lois Lane. A strange glow is emanating from inside the building from the genetics lab where they are investigating Lex Luthor's Everyman project. Inside the lab is Sun-Chained-in-Ink, another of the Dreambound created by Enigma. He steals from the lab a sample of Luthor's blood. When Lois is later interviewing a guard to get information her notepad goes missing.
At Justice League headquarters the JLA is investigating the robot ship that Superman defeated in Morocco. It turns out to be the Metal Marauders, the Anti-Earth version of the Metal Men. The object Superman found there is a dimensional stabilizer. Red Tornado is trying to make it work so the JLA can travel to the Anti-Earth and rescue the people that have been kidnapped. Superman wants to travel there and bring a final defeat to the Crime Syndicate but Batman tells him their only mission right now is to rescue people.
On the Anti-Matter Earth, people have been kidnapped to help in the repair of that world since its near-destruction after the attack by Qwardians. The JLA successfully travel there but quickly draw the attention of the Crime Syndicate. They have captured Jimmy Olsen to use as a bargaining chip.
