This exclusive footage provided to WLEX of what's being billed as Luthor's own Justice League at Dearborne Air Force Base in the North Atlantic yesterday...
Synopsis:
Week seventeen sees Luthor's team of laboratory created metahumans let loose on the followers of Kobra, and getting ready for a media blitz. In space, Adam and crew exchange being stranded on a garden planet for being stranded on a barren asteroid, where they are found by Lobo. And Red Tornado awakens in the Outback of Australia.

Notes:
The is the first time civilian identities are given for the majority of Luthor's team, and it is indicated that no code names have been issued. "Herakles" may be a nickname the group gave Gerome. Publisher has released copies of the breakdown art that indicates the codnames as: Lumina (Natasha), Ultimate Man (Jacob), Trajectory (Eliza, also refrenced as Velocity), Herakles, Omnivore (Hannibal), and Reaver (Erik). Also, the apparent death of Red Tornado in issue 5 is revisited with his mostly intact and functional head and torso showing up here.
