Synopsis
  • The Dominators and the Khunds are performing an experiment on a control group of fifty average humans, to see if they will develop super-powers under duress. To test this theory, they are all put through the Blaster-Field... a gauntlet of instantaneous death and destruction. Much to the surprise of the scientists, a total of six people survive. The diverse group is comprised of Amos Monroe, Carlotta Rivera, Dexter Fairfax, Fritz Klein, Moshe Levy, and even the Justice League's old mascot Snapper Carr. This is the group that will later become the Blasters. thumb|left|150px|Dominators' summit The number of survivors shocks the scientists, who come to realize that the unpredictable evolutionary development of humanity is even more of a threat than they previously thought. They consider Earth a breeding ground for a potential future super-race of Metahumans that must be destroyed before they can develop. thumb|right|200px|[[W:C:DC:Alien Alliance|Alien Alliance]] It is time to take action against the humans.

quotation
  • It's the politicians we should be toasting. For once they've shown some backbone -- done the right thing. And I for one have never been prouder to print any story. So, sure -- I'll raise my glass with the staff. We'll drink to victory even as we stand on the edge of defeat. But, by Caesar, at least we stand united.
