Foreword

This story is based in a universe where Hal Jordan, the former Green Lantern turned Parallax, had not only begun to wreak havoc in DC Comics universe but ripped a hole into Marvel Comics universe. The heroes of both universes fought Zero Hour and destroyed Parallax, but were unable to separate the universes as well as keep certain plot devices from existing or totally being annihilated in the first place. There is no Infinity Gauntlet anymore, and the tapping of other colors in the Emotional Spectrum besides willpower and of fear from the Green Lantern stories have yet to be discovered or even used. Other plot devices however might have been reworked to fit the story line…and others have yet to be revealed.

The over abundance of superheroes led to some combining and reformation of new teams while causing other legendary and older heroes, such as Captain America and the elder members of the Justice Society of America like the Golden Ages Flash and Green Lantern, to finally hang up masks and costumes and retire knowing the world was in good hands…or was it? Looks can be extremely deceiving…

Prologue

"Woe to you oh Earth it seems…For the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short. Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast, for it is a human number. Its number is 666."

-The Book of Revelations

It has been 400 years since the Great Purge and the formation of the maniacal new world order called the Impergium on Planet Earth. The world's greatest superheroes are no more as they were systematically murdered or destroyed. Hope for change or deliverance plunged into the depths a long time ago as the inhabitants of the planet are forced to worship at the feet of the Kryptonian humanoid who was at the forefront of the Purge known as the Brainchild.

The Brainchild, a being comprised of the combination of the former Brainiac and Eradicator entities and cellular Kryptonian DNA, rules the planet renamed New Krypton with an iron fist and vindictive cunning. By the side of the Brainchild is a collection of allies and descendants of allies from the previous war on the forces of good who enforce his jurisdiction and power on the suffering populace. Gathered together they call themselves the Impergium.

The Impergium's tactics have not been kind to those who have incurred their ire. Raping, pillaging, and destruction have been staples of their awesome forte and even the structure of the world had changed to their liking.

The Brainchild, with the help of the infamous Cosmic Cube, changed the face of Earth to his vision of New Krypton; melting the polar ice caps and then freezing other areas to his liking. Making deserts where only oases and fertile land once existed. Shifting the continents and countries to his and his compatriots liking was only a small taste of what they did to Earth. Whole cities, like Metropolis, Gotham City, Dublin, Paris, and the nation of Wakanda have been annihilated with all its hero heritage and people. Others cities, like Las Vegas, Baltimore, Rio de Janeiro, and London have been changed forever.

Under the constant strain of the Brainchild…humanity had enough a long time ago…Breeding is closely monitored by the Brainchild or other Impergium officials in hopes of manipulation to their means, or stem the tide of new heroes with powers beyond their control being born to fight them. Some do however come by accident and are taken care of swiftly…others hid it in the hopes of using it against the status quo.

Under the shadows of the Impergium's forceful order rises from the ashes of the humiliation of humanity a force trying desperately to liberate and destroy the Brainchild and his Impergium or at least destroy their sway over the planet. But the sheer power of the conglomerate of dictators is slowly thwarting every effort the Human Liberation Movement has to break their chains of bondage.

Is there any hope left?
