Episode 14: Revelation

Takes place on October 1

The Injustice League holds the world hostage with giant monster plants. While the Justice League deals with them, the young heroes are sent to find the enemy base.

In the end, the whole thing turned out to be yet another plan of The Light, to clue the heroes away from their existence.

Notes:

  • Aqualad dons the Helmet of Doctor Fate to battle Wotan. He doesn't stay possessed by it though.
  • The episode features cameos by several heroes not yet seen in the show including Blue Devil, Plastic Man, Rocket and Icon.
  • Their headquarters turned out to be the same one used by the Legion of Doom in Challenge of the Superfriends.
  • The members of the Injustice League are Count Vertigo, Wotan, Black Adam, Atomic Skull, Ultra-Humanite, The Joker and Poison Ivy.
  • The members of The Light are fully revealed: They are Lex Luthor, Ra's Al Ghul, Vandal Savage, Queen Bee, Ocean Master, The Brain and Klarion The Witch Boy.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Smokescreen Crime: the Light come to believe that the heroes might suspect an alliance of supervillains has formed, so they have one of their minions, Count Vertigo, organize a separate supervillain team, the Injustice League, to openly attack several major cities around the world. The heroes take them down and assume the crisis has been averted, leaving the Light free to keep scheming (at least until the heroes do eventually become aware of them).
