Synopsis[]
Darkseid has DeSaad use a mind probe to ensnare and control Wonder Woman. They bring her back to Apokolips where Darkseid declares that he is going to make her his queen.
The Super Friends use a space ship disguised as a meteor to go to Apokolips to rescue her. The fight past Darkseid's guards and robotic sentries and eventually find Wonder Woman and "free" her from a force field prison. Wonder Woman tells them that she knows the way out and they begin to follow her.
This is all a trap however, as Wonder Woman is still being controlled by Darkseid. Under Darkseid's instruction, she picks up the mind probe device and turns it against the Super Friends. Firestorm however - harnessing the mental energy of not just one, but two minds, is able to override the affects of the device. Batman uses Wonder Woman's lasso and places it around her, which allows her to overcome the mind control. Once freed, she crushes the mind probe device.
Darkseid is furious and unleashes the power of his Omega Beams upon the Super Friends. Superman blocks the energy while the others activate a stargate so they can teleport back to Earth.
Back at the Hall of Justice, Wonder Woman expresses her gratitude by kissing Firestorm on the cheek.
