•While the JUSTICE LEAGUE and AZTEK clean up after Earth's brush with the death of the sun, alien invasions, weather anomalies, and interdimensional rifts, three superbeings go on a murderous rampage in the breakaway nation of Catalonia. White Martian A'MON A'MOKK, malformed Kryptonian clone BIZARRO #2, and an ionic energy being calling itself WONDER-WOMAN are well on their way to committing genocide when help arrives from a very unlikely source.
•The trio escaped from the Barcelona lab of ROHT-UL, the Kryptonian scientist informally called MOGUL but publicly known as media billionaire GRANT GABLE, and he wants them back in stasis or dead. To help him, Mogul collects on a favour from actor FLYNN FAIRBANKS aka the vampiric FLYING FOX and his thrall BUMBLEBEE, plus coerces the Greek demigoddess GINGER GARBOT aka AEGEA and her lover GORGO with economic threats against their home island of Lesbos.
•To protect his secrets, Mogul considers his experiments, temporary allies, and the entire Catalan population expendable. If he can't win, Mogul will detonate a Hellspore, turning most of the country into an Apokoliptian Firepit! Let's hope the bad guys win!

"going through the motions"
It's the same everyday. Wake up. Don't sh%t, shower or shave. Peroxide on your infections, Neosporin on your cuts and gin for your soul. Take mask off. Eat Chef Boyardee straight from the can. Watch Fox and Friends. Put on Kevlar, put on mask, put on hat, grab hammer, matches and nails and it's a time to kill. Oh wait it's Halloween, a day that Walter Kovacs can be himself. That is although he still dresses the same, he comes bearing gifts; a plastic bag, an electric pencil sharpener, shards of glass, a metal spork and razor blades masquerading as candy. Criminals have never had such a bad day. Their torture is extensive, relentless and yet creative. Their deaths are slow and very necessary. Everybody dies sometimes and Rorschach is hoping to get lucky tonight!

"Oil and Water"
Col. Rick Flag's Final Report:
I'm about....to drown. They have all abandoned me. It begin with the mission: Lead "super-villain" prisoners on a covert operation in Qurac. We were there for disarmament of weapons of mass destruction and destruction of their oil reserves. Our unit includes martial artist, transporter and black-op Nightshade who I trusted with my life. The marksman with a deathwish, Deadshot. The pyrokinetic gangbanger Diablo. The volatile yet playful psychopath Harley Quinn. The man/shark hybrid King Shark. The genius teleporter Chunk. The dangerous weapon specialists Boomerang and Slipknot. The deadly underwater high-tech tactician Black Manta. Rustam our double-agent working within Qurac who's a former terrorist who wields a mystical sword. I was prepared to activate nano-explosives implanted in all operatives due insubordination or treasonous action. We arrive under the cover of water and darkness and Manta awaited our return in his ship. Nightshade gives us access inside the enemies base. Rustam has eliminated and discarded the guards from the inside. King Shark eats the ones that are left behind. Deadshot, Boomerang, Slipknot and I takes out enemies at a distant, while in shadows of Nightshade. She then transports Chunk to the oil fields and he uses his teleportation to remove the supply from Qurac to an undisclosed facility designed for massive storage. Diablo and Harley destroy or render useless their arsenal of missiles. This was the point where everything went sideways. It was the moment where true nature of the criminals I was baby-sitting is revealed. While most follow my lead, Boomerang, Harley and Slipknot start a mutiny, however blowing up Slipknot's arm as a warning ends that revolt. Diablo goes nuclear, King Shark goes beastmode and Harley goes on a killing spree. Deadshot stops all incoming enemies except the one in our group...Rustam. He offers all of us an offer to betray our government and join the Quraci forces for financial gain or die. I signaled to King Shark and he makes a Lunchable out of Rustam and Deadshot dispatches all the other opposition. Alarms were blaring, Nightshade opened a portal to our exodus point by the water. I make sure no one is left behind. As we swim to Manta's ship, Boomerang stabs me in my spine and Manta has disabled the explosives implanted within them. The bastard paralyzed me and the others just watched. Their final looks back at me show regret for some, laughter for others but mostly relief for being free. As I descend into the dark water for final time, I'm not afraid and look forward to my next adventure....
