History

The story starts as a green-clothed fist beats its way out of an underground chamber. Once the monster is above ground, it instantly starts to destroy, crushing a bird in its hand and snapping the neck of a deer.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Superman and Lois are fighting the Underworldere.

As the creature continues its rampage, the Justice League International American branch gets word and zooms to help. The fight between the JLI and the creature starts when the creature throws a log at the Blue Beetle's Bug and destroys it.

The flying members save the non-flying members as the creature destroys a semi-truck. Guy Gardner attacks the creature but is decimated by its overwhelming power, prompting Fire to save him from possible death. Fire's flames are useless against the creature, so Bloodwynd uses all of his power to punch the creature—only to be surprised that it also proves useless. The creature then punches Bloodwynd through a steel silo containing oil at a LexCorps Refinery in Ohio, which explodes with flames as he passes through it. The creature then flings a rock at Fire. Blue Beetle rushes in to rescue Bloodwynd from the flames but is grabbed from behind by the creature. The Creature savagely beats Blue Beetle nearly to death in a matter of seconds, then tosses the mangled hero like a rag doll as Bloodwynd and Maxima begin the next wave of the attack. The creature is so fast that he grabs Bloodwynd by the ankle and hurls him into Maxima, thereby launching both into another oil silo, which also explodes. Blue Beetle finally falls to the ground with Ice, realizing that he needs immediate medical attention.

During an interview by Cat Grant, Superman gets word that the Justice League is being defeated and rushes off to help.

Booster Gold begins his attack, but he also fails to faze the creature. The creature then punches Booster, with Booster raising his force field just in time to prevent a killing blow. But the blow even penetrates the force field and knocks out the use of his flight ring. Superman arrives just in time to save Booster Gold from injury and possible death from the fall.
