Plot[edit]
The backstories of Supergirl and Psycho Pirate are shown in flashbacks. When Krypton was destroyed, Kara Zor-El's escape pod hit the Monitor's Satellite. Reluctantly at first, the Monitor rescued her, fed her, and educated her, but when it became clear that Kara had lost her memory, he did not tell her of her home world's fate. Eventually, Kara discovered her escape pod in the Satellite's hangar and learnt of her planet's demise. Enraged at the Monitor's refusal to prevent Krypton's destruction, and his withholding of information, she forced him to tell the truth, and reveal that her cousin Kal-El was alive on Earth. She left to find him, and the Monitor continued to observe her, including her training with the Legion of Super-Heroes[lower-alpha 1]. When Kara, now Supergirl, returned to Earth in search of Superman and Batman, the Monitor abducted her to help him prevent the anti-matter wave from destroying reality. To help her, he gifted her some of his power, transforming her into Harbinger, and sending her to gather the heroes.
Years ago on Earth-2, Psycho Pirate interrogated a codebreaker: his Earth's Doctor Fate. To get Fate to talk he explained his background. However, Fate, believing that Psycho Pirate had a role to play in the Crisis, gave him the ability to travel between universes. After his plan to use the Atlanteans to attack the United States failed[lower-alpha 2], he used his new ability to leave Earth-2 and escape capture by Earth-1's Flash. He travelled the multiverse, trying and failing to take over various Earths, before being recruited by the Harbinger and brought to the Satellite with the heroes.
Time has passed since the anti-matter wave hit Earth-1 and what was thought to be a single wave has turned out to be a series of anti-matter waves. Many heroes are placed across the multiverse to operate, maintain, and protect the vibrational towers, while a council of 'thinkers', made up of the Monitor, Earth-1's Doctor Light, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific, Earth-2's Wonder Woman, Earth-4's Blue Beetle and Question, and Earth-145's Aquaman, try to find a long-term solution. To keep the Earths' populations calm, they use the Satellite's technology to broadcast Psycho Pirate's empathic control across the planets. Struggling with the mental strain of the task, Psycho Pirate persuades the Monitor to give him some of his power to make it easier. Shortly afterwards, Psycho Pirate is abducted by an entity calling itself the Anti-Monitor, the source of the anti-matter waves. It offers him a new, smaller, world to control in exchange for his service.
After a weaker anti-matter wave passes over the Earths, shadow demons appear and attack all the towers simultaneously. Earth-1's Superman leads his Justice League to defend Earth-1, Earth-1's Batman defends Earth-2 with the help of a multiversal Bat-Family, and Earth-2's Wonder Woman fights on Earth-43, an Earth ruled by Amazons. They discover that the demons are vulnerable to strong light, but their attempts to fight them are undermined by Psycho Pirate, who uses his empowered abilities to increase the heroes' hatreds and rivalries, causing them to fight each other, before teleporting away to another Earth. Due to the demons and Psycho Pirate's interference, not all of the towers are online when the next anti-matter wave hits and many Earths, including Earth-43, are destroyed. In addition, a furious Supergirl murders the Monitor, her resentment towards him exacerbated by Psycho Pirate's powers.
Whilst defending Earth-1, John Stewart encounters the homeless man and fights him. During their fight, the homeless man remembers his identity as the sorcerer John Constantine. As more demons arrive, Stewart overloads his lantern's battery, using it as a light bomb to destroy the shadow demons attacking Earth-1's tower. In response, the shadow demons coalesce into a single giant figure, which proves resistant to the heroes' light attacks. They watch in horror, powerless, as the Anti-Monitor prepares to destroy Earth-1.
