Synopsis
| - The Justice League conducts an interview with the refugee animal woman, Reena. Reena tells them how she was once the assistant and lover of Rex Rogan, CEO of Repli-Tech Industries. When the company went bankrupt, Rogan and the board members volunteered to gain newfound power by way of a scientific process that manipulated their DNA, transforming them into animals. Calling himself Maximus Rex, Rogan established a gladiatorial combat arena, in which he and the other Ani-Men participated in vicious combat sports for the benefit of wealthy patrons. Reena can no longer bear the guilt for having associated with such a monstrous process and now turns to the JLA for help.
At the Arena, Maximus Rex enters a personal competition against one of his own Ani-Men, Rowl. Rowl had betrayed Rex by helping Reena escape, but now he has to face him one on one. Rowl is no match for Maximus Rex, and the savage lion-man slaughters him without mercy.
Meanwhile, the League receives word that Hawkman has been felled by a Scorpion Ani-Man in Egypt. They fly to Egypt where Hawkwoman and Wonder Woman maintain a vigil at his bedside. The Ani-Men, as well as Repli-Tech's human agents, ambush the League and take Wonder Woman and the Hawks hostage. Maximus Rex broadcasts a message to the Justice League Satellite, revealing that he has the fallen heroes and that he is declaring himself the leader of a New Order.
