Infinite Crisis #1
Everything is falling apart. In the ruins of the JLA Watchtower, the disagreement between Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman reaches a breaking point, and they battle Mongul. In the Polaris Galaxy, a cosmic storm interrupts the war between Thanagar & Rann, and threatens to destroy the universe; while back on Earth, Donna Troy is gathering a group of heroes--including Supergirl & Starfire--to leave Earth to battle the cosmic threat. Near Metropolis, the Freedom Fighters battle members of the Secret Society of Super-Villains, with deadly consequences. The Spectre destroys the Rock of Eternity, raining chaos over Gotham City. A multitude of OMACs are gathering, but for what purpose? All seems lost... But beyond space and time, four mysterious figures break out of their pocket dimension: The original super-hero, Superman of Earth-2, along with Lois Lane of Earth-2, Superboy of Earth-Prime, and Alexander Luthor of Earth-3!

"Crisis of Conscience"
JLA #115-120. While the Justice League wrestles with the revelations of their past actions in Identity Crisis and battles many of the members of the old Secret Society of Super-Villains, Despero arrives on Earth and mind-controls many of the members. After Despero is defeated, a mystery man wearing a red cape destroys the JLA Watchtower.

"The OMAC Project"
Max Lord uses Checkmate and the OMAC corps, a secret anti-meta-human cyborg force created by Batman and controlled by an orbiting satellite AI known as Brother Eye, to wage war against the meta-human community. When Lord gains mental control over Superman, he is killed by Wonder Woman, and control over the OMACs is left solely under Brother Eye's direction.

"Day of Vengeance"
Eclipso takes control of Jean Loring's body and convinces the Spectre to destroy all magic. Shadowpact, a group of misfit mystical heroes, forms to stop them.

"Countdown"
The Blue Beetle discovers that the secret organization Checkmate is now dedicated to stopping super-heroes, and is killed by former ally Max Lord, now the head of Checkmate.
