The heroes of the DC Universe are powerless but their spirits are unbroken! With the Trinity of Evil in power, the resistance begins in DC s most explosive blockbuster story in years. The superstar team of writer Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) and artist Dan Mora (Batman/Superman: World s Finest) unite for Absolute Power, an epic event that sees DC s heroes tested like never before! Following a career of machinations, and thanks to the combined might of the unstoppable android Failsafe and the otherworldly Brainiac Queen, Amanda Waller has finally achieved her goal: stealing the metahuman abilities of every hero and villain on planet Earth. As chaos erupts in the streets and a massive misinformation campaign sways public opinion to her side, the founder of the Suicide Squad methodically targets each superhero dynasty one at a time, starting with Superman. But even in this darkest of hours, a resistance is forming... and Batman is out for vengeance. Can these powerless heroes defeat the Trinity of Evil and their army of living weapons known as Task Force VII?
