Five years have passed since Ivy's defeat at the hands of Gotham's finest. Half a decade of her precious time spent withering in the darkness of her lonely cell in Arkham Asylum, cut off from the nurturing sun and her verdant brood. Time, however, has brought clarity to the fiery-haired goddess. For a flower blooms beyond the bars of her cell, rekindling her desire for vengeance.
The sun has finally set on the golden age of superheroes, casting the world in darkness. After the defeat of Kal-El at the hands of Lex Luthor, the Justice League have disbanded, carved into two opposing factions - one in support of the Kryptonian's beliefs, the other firmly against everything he stood for. It is in these chaotic, uncertain times, the metahumans begin to rise.
