preventing it from succumbing to the temptation that created the Lords. Luthor hacks the Justice League Watchtower to attack Cadmus headquarters, causing extensive collateral damage to the surrounding area. The public turns against the League, and they decide to decommission the Watchtower and faithfully surrender (except for Batman, who wants to clear the League's name on his own). However, Cadmus decides to retaliate, sending Galatea (a clone of Supergirl) and an army of genetically engineered metahumans to destroy the Watchtower and kill the rest of the League on board. The League subdues the clones and Supergirl defeats Galatea. When Batman finally convinces Waller that Luthor is responsible for the attack, they confront him in his Lexcorp offices, only to be beaten back by Lex, who demonstrates unnatural speed and strength due to Brainiac secretly being in his body for several years. "The Cadmus Plan" Brainiac and Luthor unite into an entity that creates duplicate androids of the Lords in the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Cadmus Plan", adding an android duplicate of the Flash that resembles comic-book villain Zoom, to distract the League from his goal of universal domination. The androids fight the League, playing on its worst fears: Superman becoming a Justice Lord, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl's failed relationship and her pariah status on Earth and Thenagar. Only Flash appeared to be the most unaffected by his replica's taunts due to his overly optimistic nature, and the androids were quickly destroyed, though the group of androids was merely a delaying tactic on the part of the Brainiac/Luthor entity. The growing fear that the League might become the Lords reaches a climax in this episode, when the Flash exceeds his maximum speed (vanishing into the Speed Force) to destroy Brainiac. With Flash supposedly dead, and Luthor at his mercy, Superman is put in exactly the same position as his Justice Lord counterpart, but resists the temptation and proclaims that he is his own person. John then senses Flash's presence, and the League successfully pulls him back from the Speed Force before he can vanish completely, saving his life. Realizing they have estranged themselves from those they are trying to protect and still fearful of the future, Superman publicly announces the complete dissolution of the Justice League. However, Green Arrow challenges him, saying the Justice League was bigger than any individual and would continue without the original seven, and Superman changes
