Adding summary.


General Wade Eiling from Cadmus steals the [[StupidJetpackHitler "Captain Nazi"]] [[SuperSerum super-soldier serum]] and injects it into himself to "protect" the world from metahumans. With the more powerful League members busy, Green Arrow leads Stargirl, S.T.R.I.P.E., Shining Knight, Crimson Avenger, Vigilante, and Speedy against him. Eiling only stops short of killing Shining Knight when a civilian points out that Eiling's reason for attacking the heroes is non-existent, as his entire reason for the attack was to rid the world of meta-humans and he was the only one there with super powers.

Added DiffLines:

!! Tropes:
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: General Eiling clearly suffers from this.
* CanonImmigrant: Eiling was first mentioned in the third incarnation of the Justice League (the ''JLA'' comics series). In that version, he was suffering from a brain tumor, leading him to give illogical orders and transplant his mind into the body of the "Shaggy Man."
* TheFundamentalist: Eiling again. He's just nuts.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Played with, as the members of the league aren't the immoral tyrants Eiling thinks they are, but that's what he becomes. (It doesn't hurt that the League members he's fighting ''have no powers.'')
* KnightTemplar: Inverted in that Shining Knight is more considerate of civilians and humane measures than his opponent.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: The Shining Knight recounts one of these as a parable.
* StrawCharacter: Some of Eiling's arguments are rather obviously [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed ultra-right]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Eiling genuinely believes that he's protecting the world from metahumans.
* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: Invoked repeatedly, as the entire reason that Eiling's not fighting the JLA's A-team is that the parade was considered too unimportant for Superman's busy schedule.
