Synopsis for "Justice League: Part Six"

In the middle of the Parademon assault, a writer named David is trying to save his family, wishing for some help. His prayer is seemingly answered by a set of green fireworks on the horizon. The fireworks are part of the Justice League's plan to fight Darkseid. They attack Darkseid and question why he's there. He tells them “For her”. Cyborg's cybernetic operating system warns that he is reaching the temperature threshold. Cyborg tells Flash that the metal cubes are called Mother Boxes and through them he can see other worlds and Batman on Apokolips.

On Apokolips, Bruce Wayne sneaks through the building he is in, finding a pair of superbeings discussing the invasion of the Multiverse in search of Darkseid's daughter, who was apparently kidnapped. The superbeings have Superman tied down before them, and they plan to clone him as part of the next generation of Parademons.

On Earth, Wonder Woman demands to know where Superman is. Darkseid replies that Superman belongs to him as does the Earth. To stop the Omega beams Wonder Woman jams her sword into Darkseid's left eye. Aquaman, after being launched towards Darkseid by Flash, jams his Trident into the right eye. Despite the weapons being in his eyes Darkseid is still standing which makes the heroes realise they need a new plan. Cyborg uses his new machinery to tap into the Mother Box network. By saying the word “Ping” he is able to suddenly overload the system, causing teleport holes to appear all over the area - and on Apokolips. This shocks the two beings torturing Superman, and Batman uses the moment to free Superman, before the two escape back to Earth through the Boom Tubes. They try to trap Darkseid, who has removed the weapons from his eyes, on the other side of a Boom Tube, but he grabs Superman. With seconds to spare, Cyborg works out how to shut down the network, seemingly killing Darkseid. The world is saved.

In the immediate aftermath, a crowd gathers around. The group thinks they are to be stoned, but instead they are cheered, hailed as the world's greatest superhumans. Writing after the fact, Graves acknowledges the wording was off. The group were the world's greatest super heroes. At a subsequent awards ceremony, the U.S. President gives a speech about how this team of heroes saved the world. Green Lantern is about to break ranks and say it was a one-time deal, but Batman stops him, pointing out that official sanction will get the GCPD off his back, the Air Force off Green Lantern's and the Army off Superman's. The President receives a message from an aide, to say there has been a disaster, and the group is needed. The Flash announces that they have a name, and tells the President to call them the "Super Seven." The rest of the team hates this.

A writer named David Graves writes a book about them later, coining the term "super heroes." In his book, Graves calls this team the "Justice League." The book is titled "Gods Among Us" and the cover depicts them fighting a starfish-monster.

In London, a man with the shadow of a devil meets a man with glowing blue eyes. They discuss the fact that since the Justice League started, similar beings have become active: Green Arrow, Hawkman, Zatanna. The second man muses that if these are super heroes, then people like himself would be called super villains. As he lights a cigarette, we see he has a monstrous-looking lapel pin.

Synopsis for "Pandora"

On a street in the rain, a man has been murdered. Pandora is there, trying to investigate.

As she walks away, she is accosted by the Phantom Stranger. He tells her that he was sent since the Spectre couldn't be persuaded. Pandora suggests she's already been judged by a higher power and that the Spectre doesn't scare her.

The Phantom Stranger tells her that she was wrong to alter the timeline as she did. He tells her that her curiosity cursed the world and will curse it again. Pandora says that she is still curious including being curious as to whether the Circle of Eternity still exists after rumours of it being destroyed. The Phantom Stranger tells her the third sinner is still around, but even he knows not to interfere with the human world. The Phantom Stranger suggests Pandora can't be trusted with the box and asks her to relinquish it.

She backs away from the Phantom Stranger telling him that he knows what her touch does. Pandora says she's done being passive, pulls out mystical looking guns and shoots the Phantom Stranger in the head. He recovers instantly, and Pandora warns him not to get in her way or she'll reveal his real name to the world which will cause him to have more enemies than she does. She says she will be released from her curse after she finds and imprisons the Strange. Pandora says the Phantom Stranger may not be willing to help her, but the Justice League will… whether they want to or not.
