Synopsis

While the "Secret Six," now minus the Parademon, try to decide what to do next, the Society organizes breakouts at all the major metahuman prisons. With the big guns occupied, Oracle and Martian Manhunter recruit second and third-string heroes to help handle the situation. The Six learn from Scarecrow and Amos Fortune that the villains are heading to Metropolis, information they pass on to Green Arrow. But when the amassed heroes face down the villains, who unleash their secret weapon Doomsday, the Six decide to stay out of the fray.
