Plot
The tyrant lord of Apokolips Darkseid wages a war against the New Gods of New Genesis in order to acquire three mother boxes, sentient computers that harness power beyond time and space and capable of almost anything the wielder yields. With use of the mother boxes, Darkseid travels the universe conquering and enslaving worlds. When he crosses paths with Earth, Darkseid is faced by the opposing forces of atlanteans led by King Atlan, the amazonians led by Queen Hippolyta, the old Gods led by Zeus, and an army of ancient men. With the help of members from the Green Lantern Corps, they fend off Darkseid's attempt and the motherboxes are divided among the Atlanteans, Amazonians, and Humans to forever be guarded. Darkseid also forms a truce with the Green Lanterns to never invade any of their space sectors and forms a treaty with The New Gods by trading sons.
