Summary

From DC Comics: "An alien device streaks toward Metropolis and the Watchtower. As Chloe freezes in fear, her friends rush to her side! And no man escapes the Manhunters – but will Nightwing find a loophole?"

Recap

Superman, Supergirl and Martian Manhunter try to hold the pod.

Superman spots the pod approaching Earth, feelings of sheer horror aside, he, Kara and J'onn try to stop the pod from hitting its target. Even with their combined might the pod overcomes them and speeds beyond them breaking the sound barrier. Green Arrow and Batman are thrown backwards by the sonic boom's force but stare in horror as the pod speeds up and aims itself at Watchtower.

The heroes try to save Chloe's life.

Ollie begs a pregnant Chloe to get out of the base before it is destroyed, but a tearful Chloe tells him there is no time left as she can't outrun the pod. Ollie refuses to give up, ejects his armor and with the help of Batman's bat-grapple he tries his hardest to get to Watchtower. Chloe then hears Ollie's 3D printer activate and Tess steps out in her new physical form.

The Red Tornado saves Chloe.

The heroes are ready to go against the Omega Monitor.

All the heroes race to the Watchtower but are too late to stop the destruction as the pod crashes into the side and it begins to crumble to dust. A tearful Clark pours on the speed as Ollie cries out. Superman is shocked to see a red tornado explode from the rubble landing Chloe safely on the ground. John and Aya protect everyone with an emerald bubble shield as Superman approaches with a devastated Ollie... but as the dust clears Chloe is unharmed and joined by Tess (In her new Red Tornado form). Lois and Ollie hug Chloe while Tess takes Superman aside to explain how she manufactured her new android body also telling Superman about how the Monitors had sent the pod to deliberately sever the virus they had and the link to their network. Superman asks Tess what was in the pod just as something smashes its way out of the rubble. Clark utters some rousing words as the heroes swear to fight together now and forever against this threat.

Otis gets killed by saving Lex's life.

Lex is confronted by the Monitors and Manhunters, for the first time ever with no backup plan and no way out. Before Lex is killed a truck slams into his attackers crushing them, and out climbs Otis from the wreckage. Lex is for once pleased and grateful to have Otis as a friend only then to see the hapless friend incinerated by a laser of a barely functioning Manhunter. In a rage Lex crushes its skull dropping to his knees in sadness at his loss.

Meanwhile, Batman is proving a weak link in the fight with the Monitor warriors. Clark tells him to fall back, get Lois and Chloe to safety and try to re-establish the link to the Monitors' ship. Batman is reluctant and asks about Arrow, but Ollie points out he would be a better protector for Chloe and Lois as he has a better skill set for it. Batman then melts a hole in the sidewalk into a basement safely out of the way of the battle, and with Nightwing at his side they fire their Bat Grapples to get to the rooftops.

The Justice League fights the Omega Monitor.

John and Aya try to hold back the Omega Monitor and Aya calls John by his real name making him realize that they are at world's end.

Wonder Woman leaps in sword swinging while J'onn gets close enough to telepathically attack. The feedback sends J'onn hurtling backwards but Diana signals Superman to join the fight.

With might of astounding levels Clark soars upwards then smashes the warrior to a wheezing wreck. Clark tells him to pass a message on to his masters than no more blood will be shed. The Omega Monitor launches a series of cables that capture Superman. The warrior points out that if Superman is broken then the will of his 'Justice League' will too. Instead of passing the message Superman instructed the Omega Monitor orders the orbiting ship to triangulate his position and fire with all their might. Clark cries out refusing to be rebooted but the Omega Monitor laughs wheezily that he no longer has a choice.

Otis says his final words.

As it turns out Otis isn't quite dead, as Lex tends to his friend's wounds, blinded and fading fast, the well meaning sidekick tells Lex he doesn't have to be a bad man.

Barbara becomes a Blue Lantern.

Watchtower calls through to Batman to tell him that Superman has been beaten. Aya and Nightwing tries to fight off the Manhunters. Batman voices his regret in involving Barbara in this war but she points out if she hadn't been fighting she would have been reset. Barbara tells Bruce that the difference between them is that she believes in hope. Suddenly a flash of blue energy envelops her and she is given Saint Walker's Blue Lantern ring which she uses to create blue hope constructs that destroys all nearby Manhunters.

Superman fights the Blue Bleed.

At the same time Lois and Chloe have made it to the sewers with Lois having trouble breathing. Superman, meanwhile is in trouble as he becomes a phantom watching events of his life play backwards. As he is tormented by this Arrow, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl arrive to see him reflect the reboot energy back at the craft it came from. Superman's counter attack disrupts their network long enough for Tess to reconect. Superman orders Tess to control the ships to fire on everything except the collector and reconstruction ships.

The Monitors realize that everyone in the universe is opposed to their rebooting plan and waits to see what happens.
