It is said that there once existed the noble gods of New Genesis, who stood against the dark gods of Apokolips. An ancient pact kept Darkseid, lord of Apokolips, from spreading his message of hate and fear.
The gods of New Genesis are no more and Earth is the first planet to fall to the New Gods! Darkseid seeks something hidden by the old gods on Earth. Hidden within one of the humans, a homo-superior, is the secret of the anti-life equation. As mutant after mutant is brought to the dissection table of the cruel Desaad, the dark lord gets closer to his goal, a powerful force hidden in the soul of a mutant; a force that threatens doom for the entire universe.
