PLOT:
Aboard the Crime Syndicate satellite, John Stewart has lost control of his power ring but the security dogs that had attacked them have stopped. The latter is because of the Atom who has successfully hacked into their security system. The CSA has a device that will send people back to their home dimension. The JLA is hoping to reverse the machine so they can confine the CSA to their own world. Ray Palmer is working on the machine from back on Earth-0. Firestorm privately questions John about his power problems. John admits he knows what is causing it but will deal with it alone.
Superman, influenced by Wonder Woman's warrior nature and Batman's anger, has attacked the CSA on his own. Letting go like he has allows him to defeat them in quick time. This has been watched by Enigma who is distressed by the defeat of the CSA. He encourages Despero and Morgaine to send troops to the Anti-Earth. They wonder aloud why since previously he had told them to stay away from the Anti-Earth. Enigma leaves before they can question him further, transporting back to his satellite above the Anti-Earth, seen for the first time. He tells the satellite to head for the CSA space HQ.
Superman has tied Ultraman, Owl and Superwoman to a device meant for the JLA. They have been tied using Superwoman's magic lasso which lowers inhibitions. Under the lasso's power, Ultraman tells them the device would have sent them to the interdimensional void. Superman activates the device sending the three Crime Syndicate members to the void instead. Wonder Woman and Batman are confused and angry with Superman concerning his decision.
When word gets out that the CSA has been defeated, people all over the world begin rioting since the entire Anti-Earth is inherently evil.
