In an alternate universe, the Justice League is a brutal force led by three unusual heroes: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Unlike their traditional counterparts, Superman is the genetic son of General Zod, rather than Jor-El; Batman is the vampiric scientist Kirk Langstrom after a failed experiment; and Wonder Woman hails from New Genesis instead of Themyscira, seeking redemption for her past actions. This controversial trio operates relentlessly to maintain order, drawing both fear and resentment from the public. While they believe their methods are justified, their severe tactics lead to growing distrust and concern among global powers, creating an atmosphere rife with tension.

The League's approach to justice comes under scrutiny when a series of top scientists are assassinated under mysterious circumstances, with evidence pointing towards the trio. As suspicions escalate, the Justice League faces relentless pursuit by military forces led by President Amanda Waller. They are compelled to investigate the killings in order to prove their innocence, uncovering a complex conspiracy that challenges their unity and obligations as protectors. The narrative explores themes of identity, morality, and the fine line between heroism and tyranny, ultimately questioning what it truly means to be a hero in a world where justice is blurred by power and prejudice.
