JLA: ACT OF GOD

On May 23, 2000, an event called the "Black Light" causes all technology on Earth to stop working for a split second - and also permanently robs every superpowered being on the planet of their powers.

Throughout the story, the cause of the Black Light is never revealed. Heroes such as the Flash, Green Lantern, and Superman are haunted by their fall from grace: Wally West, formerly the Flash, was unable to save a policeman from being shot in the head; Clark Kent, formerly Superman, could not stop a dam from bursting and destroying a town; and Kyle Rayner, formerly Green Lantern, was beaten by the supervillain Sonar, an event which drives him to obsession when his Power Ring will not spark. J'onn Jonzz, the Martian Manhunter, now stuck in his Martian form, questions as to whether or not some individuals should have special powers, and that maybe the Black Light event happened for a reason, to teach superheroes that just because they save lives doesn't mean they need powers to do so, because people are saved every day by policemen, fire fighters, etc. Other depowered heroes, such as Rex Mason, formerly Metamorpho, see this as a turn for the better now that they are human again. Heroes who never had to rely on superpowers, such as Batman, and heroes who use technology such as Steel, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle, are forced to pick up the slack when criminal activity spikes.

Meanwhile, the technological supervillains are now in charge of the crime scene, and the only thing in their way is the nonpowered heroes. Toyman launches an assault on LexCorp in a giant robot to try and kill Lex Luthor, and Steel, despite having been critically injured when his armor shorted out during the Black Light and caused him to plummet to the ground, tries to stop him. Toyman proves too powerful and kills Steel by making his robot stamp on him. Booster Gold and Blue Beetle arrive on the scene, when Toyman reveals that he had other tech-focused supervillains hidden inside a robot and destroy Booster and Beetle's weapons. The tech villains then abandon Toyman when the National Guard arrives, because they were also paid by Lex Luthor as a doublecross. Toyman is stopped by the combined forces of the National Guard and Hawkman, and Luthor comes down to gloat to Toyman.

Things are not going well for some of the retired heroes. Lois Lane leaves Clark, so he moves in with Diana Prince, formerly Wonder Woman. Green Lantern becomes more and more obsessed with finding a way to defeat Sonar, and Linda Danvers, formerly Supergirl, finds working as a cop insufficient to bring justice to criminals. Natasha Irons finds that someone stripped Steel's lab down to nothing, and Blue Beetle and Booster Gold have had their weapons stolen.

Nearly a year after the Black Light event, Supergirl, at a meeting with Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and the Flash, brings up the idea of still being heroes despite losing their superpowers. She dubs the former superheroes the Phoenix Group because like the mythical phoenix they plan to rise from the ashes. The four of them begin training with Batman and other heroes who didn't have powers to begin with. Flash leaves for a while and goes to the Flash Museum, but he comes back when he learns that people are forgetting what the heroes meant.

Meanwhile, at Zen-Gen Biotech Systems Inc., Ray Palmer, formerly the Atom, signs up for an experiment to regain his ability to shrink, despite the fact that his powers came from a belt. The scientists manage to grant Ray the ability to shrink, but he becomes stuck at nearly six inches and the scientists place him in a dollhouse. While there, he learns that the scientists are employed by Lex Luthor and that with this research they can sell superpowers to anyone who wants to buy. Ray tries to call J'onn, but J'onn can't hear him because he is still small. He then leaves a message in a table in the dollhouse before he starts shrinking down into the table's subatomic structure, but he starts to grow back too fast and causes a miniature atomic blast, killing him. Needing more test subjects, Luthor has a group of villains, led by the Joker, kidnap Metamorpho, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Group finally finishes their training, and they reveal their new identities. Supergirl is now Justice, Aquaman is now the Hand, Flash is now Red Devil, and Martian Manhunter is now the Green Man. They begin investigating Ray Palmer's death.

Clark leaves Diana when she starts to believe that all that has happened is merely a test from God and that her powers will return when it ends. Clark winds up living on the street, but receives some money in a homeless shelter from a Priest. He sees firefighters rescue someone from a burning building, then moves to a secluded home in the woods.

The Phoenix Group and Batman, with help from Oracle, discover the truth behind Atom's death when Justice discovers the message on the dollhouse table which was taken as evidence. They then learn of the abductions of Metamorpho, Booster Gold, and Blue Beetle. The Group, along with Nightwing, head for S.T.A.R. Labs, where the Zen-Gen scientists are currently working. They find the kidnapped heroes and get into a battle with the tech villains. The Group is victorious in its debut, and they get the villains arrested along with Lex Luthor.

In a final note, Kyle Rayner faces off against Sonar one last time and soundly defeats him, but dies when Sonar impales him on a sharp rock. Clark goes back to Diana and stops her from killing herself. The two marry, Clark goes back to his job at the Daily Planet, and the Phoenix Group looks on toward the future.

Two years later, Clark and Diana have a healthy baby boy who, unbeknown to the two of them, has the ability to transform matter into whatever he wants. With his birth, he opens the door to many possibilities.

I would really like to see this as a live action movie.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Kingdom Come is better. Just because there's symbolism in it. The same couple as shown here go out and live in the midwest and become the new Ma and Pa Kent, etc. If they ever make a movie of some kind like this, then drastically change it!

You would rile some people up with a movie where Lois and Clark get divorced, which happens in this one. Lois Lane dying of cancer would be a better plot element. That BS divorce alone would make it have bad publicity, because while people like me can care less if Superman hooks up or marries WW, Shay Veritas, Lisa Lasalle, Dr. Light, maybe Katma Tui, etc., there's a lot of traditionalists that review movies in the media that will be provoked and try to downvote this movie by a lot.

Making Superman go whiny about losing his powers is a big reason why people didn't like Truth, and it happens here too. (Says a lot about how lame "Truth" is)

Having Superman somehow not fight in the end was stupid. He had a massive Kryptonian mech suit that he could use. He could call his Superman duplicate drones to the fight too. He didn't have to turn ugly and nasty toward both Lois Lane and his new girlfriend either. Being nasty to people was another problem with Truth.

Otherwise it was okay that in the end, he married his girlfriend and they chose to be parents together for the child she was expecting. But I just think Kingdom Come is a better story, by a lot, as it shows Superman has to overcome the death of his adoptive parents and first wife and end as a super couple with his new wife and it's also implied that the new Kent family is a bunch of supers like The Incredibles.
