Synopsis for "The Silver Age"
Agamemno conquers a large number of planets and rules them very harshly. When he learns of the existence of the Justice League, he is anxious to conquer them as well. To learn of their whereabouts, Agamemno visits Dhor, the homeworld of Kanjar Ro, and trades him three captives, Kanjar's rival interplanetary warlords, for some information: Where are the Justice League? Kanjar Ro describes his first two encounters with the JLA, and uses his Crypto Portal to display several individual JLA members performing their typical crime-fighting activities. Agamemno is very pleased with what he sees, and resolves to turn these heroes into his own super pawns.
Despero lures the Justice League to a distant planet, unfamiliar to any of them, called there by a Green Lantern alert signal. There he uses his psychic super powers to split them up and capture them individually. Green Arrow uses a Strobe Arrow to break Despero's hypnotic hold on most of the team, and they take down Despero very quickly after that. Watching from nearby, hiding in plain sight, is Agamemno, who again is very pleased with what he's seen. Agamemno then teleports himself to Earth.

Notes
- The chronology in "Silver Age" is complicated.
- The characters resemble their old Silver Age selves, but the early JLA membership has Black Canary in place of Wonder Woman, setting the story on New Earth. In this Post-Crisis on Infinite Earths, Pre-Infinite Crisis timeline, Wonder Woman had not yet visited "Man's World," and the Black Canary filled the spot in the JLA. Also, Superman's JLA membership, simultaneously with Batman's, during the first years of the team, conflicts with other accounts.[citation needed]
- At the time of this story, Despero has not obtained the Flame of the Py'tar, and has his original appearance, and lacks Superhuman Strength or Invulnerability.
- Agamemno's story is continued in Silver Age #1.
- In the Silver Age, Metamorpho's abilities were limited to controlling those substances contained within the human body.
