Plot
This section needs an improved plot summary. (June 2008) |
The storyline centers on the New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips and revolves around the concept of the "Godwave", an interstellar phenomenon created by the Source that spread throughout the universe, creating gods on its first pass before reaching the edge of the universe and bouncing back, creating demigods and metahumans on its second pass.
The Godwave threatens reality when it reaches back to its starting point, neutralizing or altering the abilities of various metahumans and making ordinary humans feel like something is missing. The superheroes of Earth and the New Gods of New Genesis battle Darkseid to prevent him from accomplishing his plan to seize the power of the Godwave. Darkseid and his forces stage an invasion of Earth before travelling to the Source Wall where they are confronted by the heroes.
