## *Season 1*

### Episode 1

Janice began her life as a successful and brilliant research executive for LexCorp, located in Metropolis. Her routine saw her keeping fit all the time and one day she went out for a run, only to discover a hum, which caught her attention. When she made contact with the source, the object dematerialized and entered her body. While it didn't make her feel ill, it didn't make her feel better either and decided to skip her run and head up to her suite in the Science Spire to get on with her day. Once she was ready, she left via a company car and driver, which was to take her to Metropolis General Hospital, sponsored by the conglomerate. As she made her way into Little Bohemia however, chaos struck and the highway was destroyed leading to the hospital. The car itself plummeted before it and the driver were destroyed, however Janice remained unscathed, but also under attack by robots belonging to Brainiac.

She was captured and brought to the one of the Coluan's ships, where she escaped with the aid of Superman, fighting her way through the various halls of the alien vessel. It was during this time as well, that she found herself with amazing superhuman powers, which aided her in her escape. She also realized she had been given a gift, which made it her responsibility to help the citizens of Metropolis. She also found herself with the ability of flight, thanks to the aid of Superman, who taught her the ropes and both fought their way with the aid of the other members of the Justice League to the AI Central core of the ship, where Janice destroyed it before engaging Brainiac himself. She managed to beat him before meeting with Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman and then leaving the ship.

### Episode 2

Following her victory aboard Brainiac's ship, Janice was taken by the trinity to the Watchtower, where she consulted the leaders. Superman prior, had offered her a chance to join them and he meant it, believing she could make a difference and that they would aid in her training. As the trio attempted to convince her, she felt overwhelmed and left the Watchtower, teleporting home, where she needed to decompress. She cleaned herself up, got some new clothes and some rest, but also wondered if she did the right thing by saying no to the League, however even in sleep, she got little rest, as the exobytes stirring within her, caused her to have nightmares about death, destruction and Brainiac. She got up and prepared for work, only to go out to the balcony of the Spire, where the images simply didn't escape her and decided that she couldn't just stand idly by and watch as Brainiac consumed her world. She would eventually take a leave of absence from work and headed for the Hall of Justice, where her training would begin.

Wonder Woman had taken the girl to Themyscira, training her in martial arts, which earned her the respect of Wonder Woman and her Amazon sisters, as well as made her a formidable opponent with her abilities in conjunction. She would continue in the Watchtower, where her abilities grew further and once her training exceeded that of the training facilities, Superman took her to the Fortress Of Solitude, where she was tested further, including sparring with the likes of Supergirl, Power Girl and even a simulated version of Bizarro. Before the A.I. of Jor-El, she was welcomed into the House of El, as well as giving her a uniform, where she fully became Superwoman.

### Episode 3

Janice, now Superwoman, had begun targeting Brainiac's forces and destroying them without a single thought of hesitation. As the tables quickly turn on Brainiac, Superwoman is called to the Watchtower, where she was called by Martian Manhunter to investigate a crisis involving exobyte stores, which Brainiac had already noticed. He told her that H.I.V.E had taken over the Metropolis Metrodome and had begun stealing the exobytes, which Superwoman was ordered to clear and take down H.I.V.E. With her mission, Superwoman flies from the Watchtower to Metropolis within moments and engages H.I.V.E. forces, which are now entrenched within the Metrodome. She learns that LexCorp forces are also within the area, which made her take one into custody, wondering what they were doing there in the first place. She began taking out H.I.V.E forces, as well as rescuing scientists, making her way through the corridors, where she found herself encountering a Brainiac Overseer. Following it led her to Queen Bee, who she engaged and defeated. Before she could take her into custody however, Brainiac intervened and his forces spirited her away.

### Episode 4

Following Superwoman's encounter with H.I.V.E at the Metrodome, Lex Luthor was at his tower, stewing over the defeat of his agents at the site. He realized the exobytes lost in the attack were a temporary setback and that he would have contingencies in place, which also included acquiring Kryptonian D.N.A, which he would use in several cloning experiments. He then orders the meat cloning projects reassigned to LexCorp's special projects division and ordering all assigned to the public face of the experiments reassigned, as well as communications of the individuals monitored. He suspected Janice to be a problem, however he needed her to do her job. If she ever did get smart, he would do everything to crush her. Attempting to make his own champion, Lex proceeds with his cloning experiments, which he would need aid from his associates at the Hall of Doom. He contacts Lady Sinister about this and she went to Metropolis State University, where she would attempt to find the D.N.A. she sought.

Entering the school, Lady Sinister was met with the likes of Parasite, who was wanting the chance to obtain Power Girl's abilities for himself as well. She would not only begin taking out the Science Police, but also infecting students, making them parasitic as well. With enough of them, they were able to break through the forcefields raised and engaged Power Girl. With more and more minions being made, Power Girl stood little chance and ended up beaten, giving Lady Sinister a chance to obtain a D.N.A sample from the Kryptonian.

### Episode 5

Following her success at the Metrodome, Janice returns to her job following a 3 month absence, in which she learned that Lex Luthor may not be so squeaky clean as she once thought. Curiosity got the better of her and she accessed the Science Spire's data and files, where she discovered human cloning going on behind the curtain. As much as she wanted to destroy Luthor's research, she didn't want to reveal her identity either, resulting in her being finished with her employment at LexCorp. Elsewhere in Metropolis however, a pair of scientists seek to destroy the failed clones in a laboratory of Metropolis General, however one of them escapes. The warped clone known as Bizarro, would fight his way through the defenses of the hospital and escape into the city, causing further chaos amongst the populace.

### Episode 6

Not long after sending Lady Sinister on her mission, Lex also contacts Talia al Ghul, a known member of the Secret Society of Super-Villains, to give their new allies a job by taking down Supergirl, who is causing issues for them at Metropolis General. Lord Zar arrived and was given the task of taking down Supergirl and protecting Doctor Psycho. Heading to the hospital, Zar enters and makes his way through the halls, aiding LexCorp troops against escaped metahumans and eventually, going toe to toe with Supergirl. After capturing the escaped patients, as well as engaging Supergirl, Zar would follow the Kryptonian further into the facility, where she was planning to access the mainframe, only for him to destroy it. Supergirl then decided to retrieve the needed info from Doctor Psycho himself. He engaged the Kryptonian once again and found a chunk of Kryptonite in a nearby container, which aided in her defeat and Zar's rescue of Psycho.

Meanwhile at the Watchtower, the Trinity consults Janice on her leading a new team of heroes, consisting of Destiny Shield, Valor Shield, Nightfall, Data Shield, Will Shield and Honor Shield, branding the team Justice League Shield, as well as giving her a moon base, which she would inspect. Initially having been stressed out, Janice would be at ease, knowing the entire base was prepared with everything she would need, while also praying that her team was ready for what was out there.

### Episode 7

Following the creation of the new team, the episode introduces them all, as well as their leader: Superwoman. As the team is off dealing with the Brainiac threat, somewhere in the ocean, a plot begins to form courtesy of Lex Luthor. Following his loss of exobytes, but the gaining of Supergirl's DNA, Lex plots to obtain more DNA in the form of Power Girl's. Power Girl herself is at a conference at Metropolis University, where he will send his agents there, while he plans to attack S.T.A.R. labs head on to reclaim the research of the exobytes and the exobytes themselves. He then orders Sinister Strike to the university, where she aids Parasite in the acquisition of Power Girl's blood. Blocked by a forcefield, Sinister uses the mutagen given to her by Luthor to mutate students within the school, as well as taking down cops securing them. Once enough of the students have been changed into parasite-like creatures, they use their abilities to drain energy from the outer and inner forcefields to access the area where Power Girl is located. While Power Girl remains very powerful, Sinister decides to use other students by changing them into parasites as well, which begin to leech energy from the Kryptonian. Once Power Girl is weak enough, she takes a sample from the Kryptonian, while also standing over her victorious.
