Editing Justice Lords (section)

=Premise=
In Final Crisis the forces of Apokalypse invaded earth, organised resistance was exterminated, billions died and the remaining humans were soon placed under Darkseid's mind control. The superhuman resistance fought back, villain and hero uniting to fight the forces of Darksied. He was eventually defeated though the sacrifice of Batman and the efforts of Superman but the cost to earth was staggeringly high. One cannot kill a god without consequences and Darkseids death created cracks in the fabric of reality that ravaged the earth in other worldly energy, to this day warpstorms rage across parts of the planet. With Darkseid death his leaderless army fled but not before destroying everything they could reach leaving earth a sorched ruin haunted by weapons and monsters left behind by the forces of Apokalypse.

In the Aftermath the surviving heroes did what they could to restore order but soon it became apparant that earth was now too dangerous for humanity to survive without constant protection. The war weary supers fell back fortifying safe zones under their protection, and the villains followed suit. In practice the safe zones became feudalistic territories where the superhuman guardians ruled like Lords over the human survivors. 20 years later the world is only now clawing its out of the wreckage of Final Crisis. Metropolis under the guardianship of an aged Superman is at the centre of a loose alliance of neofeudal city states.
