As Darkseid's plan continues, Billy has already vowed not to use his powers as a result of last issue's events. Darkseid then uses his lackey, Glorious Godfrey (disguised as political activist G. Gordon Godfrey), to launch a crusade vs. the heroes, using Macro-Man's "death' as the catalyst. President Reagan, influenced by Godfrey, creates an executive order banning heroes from action.
