HISTORY

In a future so distant the long dead world of Earth is just a myth, the Justice League had been recreated as the Alliance. The powerful battle station dubbed Warworld was under the rule of Maxwell Lord, whose brain had been transferred into the body of Lord Havok in the late 20th Century.

Warworld crossed the stars, conquering and enslaving worlds supporting human life. Over the centuries, the victims of Lord Havok were assimilated into Warworld's society. There were two factions, in constant conflict with each other. The natives were the descendants of races captured over the generations while the "Trogs" were those not born on Warworld. Lord Havok not only approved of the conflict but also, with the power of the Alliance at his whim, instigated it.

Havok recruited young natives born on Warworld to be broken down to their very atoms in bio-telemic capsules. They would then be reconstructed with the personalities, memories and powers of whatever matrix Lord Havok chose. Using this method, Lord Havok created the Alliance, based on a late 20th Century version of the Justice League.

The Alliance was comprised of "duplicates" of Doctor Fate, Mister Miracle, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, Blue Beetle and Green Lantern Guy Gardner. The only true Leaguer in the Alliance was Booster Gold, who had lived for thousands of years by replacing his organic parts with bio-mechanical prosthesis, becoming more machine than man. He had been found drifting in space by Lord Havok and now served as a twisted version of the hero he once used to be.

The Alliance was dispatched after some Trogs, led by Maxima, a powerful leader from one of the worlds conquered by Warworld. The arrival of Captain Atom, one of the early 20th Century's most powerful superhumans, caught the Alliance by surprise. Captain Atom tried to assist the Alliance, believing they were his teammates from the League but he was attacked by Booster Gold. Maxima would later reveal she had pulled Captain Atom from the quantum field to help in their rebellion against Lord Havok.

Like his original counterpart, Guy Gardner objected to the way things were run on Warworld and was quick to say so. Lord Havok had grown tired of Gardner and killed the ring wielder for his insolence.

Blue Beetle had secretly been working with Maxima and the Trogs, building the technology to help them fight Havok's superior forces. Maxima wanted a child with Captain Atom, a child that would be a native of Warworld and thus accepted, a child with a combination of her mental powers and Atom's quantum based powers.

The Alliance tracked down the rebels and attacked, in an attempt to stop Maxima's plans. She and Blue Beetle were able to escape while Booster Gold tried to convince Captain Atom he was just a construct. The rebels had captured one of the bio-telemic capsules on a raid, but as Booster Gold would learn they used it to create a tracking device and planned for him to believe they had created a version of Captain Atom.

Lord Havok and Booster Gold were destroyed during the battle and the rebels were victorious. The future of the now free Warworld has yet to be seen. Captain Atom wished to return to the 21st Century while Maxima and Blue Beetle would raise Atom's child to be champion of Warworld. It is not known if they would use the bio-telemic capsules to create heroic duplicates of the Justice League, now that the Alliance had fallen. - Justice League America Annual #10
