Escape from the Brainiac Harvester Ship
[Heroes] ; Expand; " We were overwhelmed by his attacks. But only the gods can make or destroy worlds. And Brainiac is no god. From a single man’s courage we have an army of heroes to stand against Brainiac. Together, we shall fight tyranny. From Brainiac, or any other false god. As Wonder Woman I know, that we all have our destiny. And for these heroes it is the call to greatness!" — Wonder Woman (Mentor); " Brainiac. A nightmare from my past, here to ravish Earth, our shared might unable to stop him. But now we have a chance. New heroes with powers received from a doomed future. Heroes able to take on all threats. I know today’s Lex Luthor; even the warnings from his future self cannot stop his mad vendetta. I am Superman. I stand for truth, for justice, and for the future." — Superman (Mentor); " Our every tactic failed. Brainiac came to Earth to destroy it, and he was winning. Then a dying version of Earth's greatest villain brought us a weapon, stolen from Brainiac himself. New heroes to withstand Brainiac, and new villains to exploit the madness. I will train these heroes to fight the sick chaos of the Joker, and the evils that face us all. I am Batman, and the battle has only begun." — Batman (Mentor)[Villains] ; Expand; " Brainiac. Oh, his little games amuse me. He will never master the intricacies of magic. And now, thanks to a doomed little man in a metal suit, magic is unleashed on Earth. Only he who cannot rule destroys. And with these new villains, magic will rule at last. Wonder Woman claims to champion the gods? She will soon bow to me, Circe, for the age of magic has come." — Circe (Mentor); " Brainiac. An alien intelligence, determined to steal my planet. Deadly. Unstoppable. Until a broken man with my face came from the future and released the key to my triumph. New villains, armed with earth’s strongest powers. With them I will take back my planet, for humanity. No matter who stands in my way! I am Lex Luthor. May the best... man... win!" — Lex Luthor (Mentor); " Ha, Brainiac! Talk about your control freak. He makes Batman look mildly neurotic. Thank goodness Future Lex blasted earth with those stolen powers. Now we can really set the world on fire! What's an apocalypse without a little scream? Batman will never know what hit him. As for Brainiac? Do what the Joker does: Just go crazy!" — The Joker (Mentor)

Those souls may be out of reach, but Felix Faust will never stop in his quest for the Flame of Life ; Expand; " I long ago sold my soul for occult knowledge. Now demons themselves dance at my command. But one bit of knowledge eludes me, the flame of life! That electric bolt that creates something from nothing. And this I will possess. I will possess the collective soul of mankind and turn the flesh of all living things to my will." — Felix FaustThe door to Trigon's plane is open and Doctor Fate fears the balance has shifted... ; Expand; " As a Lord of Order I have walked countless worlds witnessing the birth and death of a million civilizations. And in the course of the eternal battle I have learned it is the fate of some to destroy and of others to defend. Sometimes fate decrees that worlds live and sometimes that their ends be bleak and tragic. I am Doctor Fate and I stand at the threshold between light and dark. Now, as the scales tip from order to chaos and back again, I too must ask, what fate awaits us now?" — Doctor Fate

His initial attack on Metropolis in shambles, Gorilla Grodd swears to release primal rage on Earth ; Expand; " Humanity's evolution was a mistake. My own... was destiny. I will reclaim this Earth from all who stand in my way. Surrender a world that by rights belongs to me? I, who can control even the strongest minds and channel primal rage? Never! I will alter the flow of evolution and remake the world in my own likeness. Life is survival of the fittest. And Grodd will not just survive, he will triumph!" — Gorilla GroddPower Girl shows Luthor that being a champion on Earth is about more than your DNA ; Expand; " Power. If you've got it, flaunt it. Cause sometimes it just feels good to hit something. Especially when it comes to Luthor and his new generation of villains. Think you've won? Think again.

And with all that I've learned and set into motion they will soon realize, the only thing to fear... IS ME!; It's good to be home." — ScarecrowCatwoman or no Catwoman, Huntress will never stop her war against organized crime ; Expand; " This city... preys on the innocent. I know. That's why I fight. Why the hunted is now the Huntress. Batman and his crowd think I play a little rough. I think I don't play rough enough. Mobsters, like the Falcones, crime lords, like Penguin, psychopaths, like the Joker, they redefine street crime. And now with all this new muscle is doesn't take the world's greatest detective to figure out this isn't just a battle, it's a war." — The Huntress

► Drug War Won / Duo Mode: Bane Broken[H]► Venom Vandalized / Duo Mode: Venom Vandalized[V]

So when this little gang war blows the lid off Gotham, Penguin's gonna have a nice little umbrella for when it starts raining blood." — Penguin

They will ultimately fail. I am Brainiac, and the Earth will be mine." — Brainiac
Metro Station Building
► Giganta Falls Hard[H]► Wonder Girl Walloped![V]
Giganta's body-swapping spell has been reversed - but Wonder Girl knows Circe isn't out for the count ; Expand; " I hate liars. Anyone who cheats, or steals, or tries to push other people around, or make you do what they want just because they're stronger. But I especially hate when they try to make the whole world like they are, using their lies to make people into slaves. That's when I have to get all Amazon on their ass. Hey, it's true that might doesn't make right, but sometimes it sure helps." — Wonder Girl
Meta Research Wing (Walk-in or Challenge)
► The Doctor is OUT[H]► So Long Supergirl[V]
His cover operation for Luthor has been revealed - and Doctor Psycho wants revenge ; Expand; " Wanna see the world through my eyes? It's easy.

Although she has lost the magical Exobytes, the goddess Circe is never truly defeated, merely delayed in her plans... ; Expand; " I...am the goddess, Circe. A divinity with a divine right to rule this world. Yet, this mere princess dares to defy me! Call yourself a warrior for peace, sister!? Know that peace only comes from the natural order, and that is... Magic over mortal. Choose magic...and rule. Choose the mortals...? And die with them!" — CirceYou may have won the battle, but Wonder Woman has some advice: Don't trust Circe ; Expand; " I was created by the gods to be a champion of peace. I know the Olympian gods well, all their strengths and gifts. And flaws. Circe is a weak and jealous goddess. To worship her is to worship betrayal. To love her guarantees your own destruction. To her, love is taken by force, not given from the heart. It is a tyranny of lies. I pity her. For I know peace and love. And she...never will." — Wonder Woman
STAR Labs Facility (Walk-in or Challenge)

It wasn't Superman who brought the exobytes back, and created a new army. It was me! My future self. Let Superman pretend he knows what's best for humanity. I will prove, now and forever, he's not our planet's saviour... I am! The future belongs to Lex Luthor." — Lex LuthorEven when he's lost a fight, Superman still knows how to throw a few punches ; Expand; " My Kryptonian heritage gives me incredible powers under this yellow sun. But to Lex Luthor, I am...the alien. A threat to his human DNA. To all the new villains seeking to rule this planet, Lex's genius...is his super power. But he is deformed by jealousy. He will always hate me for what I am. For taking his...rightful place. Because I am the one that Earth calls... Superman" — Superman

A marvel of technology, able to drain and digitize any information, capable of holding almost infinite amounts of power.

That I am so easily defeated?

It creates hard light constructs out of sheer willpower. The only way to break it is to shatter our will. Sinestro uses fear, a coward's weapon. So whoever messes with us, listen up!
