27. I am Legion
After Lex Luthor escapes from prison, Gorilla Grodd baits him into joining the new Secret Society with a piece of Brainiac technology. Luthor, the Key, and Doctor Polaris steal the Spear of Longinus from Blackhawk Island despite Flash, Fire, Shayera, and the last surviving Blackhawk attempts to stop them. This new Secret Society is based on the Legion of Doom a supervillan group from Challenge of the Super Friends.

28. Shadow of the Hawk

Shayera agrees to meet with Carter Hall, an archaeologist who has discovered Thanagarian artifacts from ancient Egypt. With a suspicious Batman eavesdropping, Carter reveals himself to be her reincarnated lover from the past and Hawkman to a confused Shayera.

29. Chaos at the Earth's Core
Supergirl, Stargirl, S.T.R.I.P.E., and Green Lantern help Warlord liberate Skartaris (a hidden world inside the Earth's core) from Deimos, a brutal dictator while protecting a very large piece of Kryptonite from Metallo and Silver Banshee. Supergirl's costume is now based upon the blue-and-red, midriff-baring version worn by the revived Kara in the comic books. Originally titled "Heart of Stone".

30. To Another Shore
Wonder Woman protects the body of the Viking Prince from Legion agents who want it for reverse engineering of invulnerability powers. Troubled by the conflict, J'onn leaves the Justice League to better understand humanity. This episode references the 1970s Wonder Woman TV series by having Diana execute the same costume-changing spin to transform into Wonder Woman as that performed by Lynda Carter in the live-action version. Originally titled "Elegy".

31. Flash and Substance
Orion attempts to understand Flash's antics as Wally and Batman battle four of Flash's rogues that attack the museum that is opening in his honor. This episode includes many references to Flash's comic book history, including bringing back Mark Hamill as the Trickster.

32. Dead Reckoning
Deadman convinces Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman to help him retrieve the stolen souls of a mystic order of monks that the Secret Society has stolen. They force the Secret Society to retreat from Gorilla City, ending Grodd's attempt to turn all people on Earth into apes. Back at a general meeting in the Secret Society's HQ, Lex Luthor cites that Grodd's plan failed and his "master plan" (turning everyone on Earth into apes) was silly, and shoots him, taking over leadership of the Secret Society.

33. Patriot Act
General Wade Eiling from Cadmus steals the "Captain Nazi" super-soldier serum and injects it into himself to "protect" the world from metahumans. With the more powerful League members busy, Green Arrow leads Stargirl, S.T.R.I.P.E., Shining Knight, Crimson Avenger, Vigilante, and Speedy against him. Eiling only stops short of killing Shining Knight when a civilian points out that Eiling's reason for attacking the heroes is non-existent, as his entire reason for the attack was to rid the world of meta-humans and he was the only one there with super powers. This sub-team is an homage to the Golden Age Seven Soldiers of Victory. The episode also features a cameo by a group of street urchins who resemble either the Golden or Silver Age incarnation of the Newsboy Legion. Though Eiling's transformation is due to the Captain Nazi serum, his resultant form is reminiscent of his more recent comic appearances in the body of the Shaggy Man, or the contemporary villain known as the General. The WWII flashback that opens this episode shows Spy Smasher stealing the formula from the Nazis.

34. The Great Brain Robbery
Magic and science collide, placing Lex Luthor and Flash's minds in each other's body. The Justice League must now contain super-speed powered Luthor on the Watchtower while Flash tries to hide the reversal from the Secret Society

35. Grudge Match
Roulette restarts Metabrawl, this time with an all-female fight card ("Glamour Slam") made up of mind-controlled Justice Leaguers. Despite the "Bat-Embargo" restricting the use of Batman-related characters, this episode features a cameo by Nightwing.

36. Far From Home
On Supergirl's 21st birthday, she, Green Lantern, Green Arrow are kidnapped and taken to the 31st Century by Brainiac 5 and Bouncing Boy of the Legion of Super-Heroes, where Supergirl is destined to embark on her very last mission - a battle against the Fatal Five and the Legion itself. It is clear that Kara won't be back from the future as she will according to DCAU chronology. In many ways, this episode was intended as a pilot for the Legion animated series, but ultimately the resulting series is unrelated to this episode

37. Ancient History
The Hawkman story concludes here when Shadow-Thief captures Green Lantern and beats Shayera and Hawkman, forcing them to watch a vision of their past selves developing an ancient society of Egypt with Thanagarian technology. It turns out Shadow-Thief is a villain from Carter Hall's mind that was released when he touched the Absorbacron in "Shadow of the Hawk." Hawkman defeats Shadow-Thief and leaves. John Stewart, not wanting to have destiny play out his life, does not get back with Shayera, even though the two say they love each other. GL goes back to Vixen, but not before he tells Shayera about Rex Stewart (Warhawk), their alleged future son. In the final scene of the episode, Shayera asks Batman about this future son, but the credits roll before he can answer

38. Alive
Luthor and the Secret Society refit their headquarters and fly into deep space in a last-ditch attempt to reanimate Brainiac. En route, Tala frees Grodd who leads a mutiny of other disaffected villains against Luthor and his supporters. Luthor uses his intellect and resourcefulness to counter his various adversaries' powers; Grodd's mind-control ability is used against him, forcing him to step into an airlock, from which he is released into the void. Luthor uses Tala's magic in an attempt to reconstitute Brainiac, but instead resurrects Darkseid, with Brainiac enhancements, who makes clear his plans to lay waste to Earth before dispatching the Secret Society. Then, he appears on Apokolips just in time to stop a war between the two factions of his Elite fighting for power, and reveals to them his plans of massive invasion. The somehow surviving Secret Society members turn to the Justice League's door for help.

39. Destroyer
The Justice League reluctantly teams up with the Secret Society in anticipation of an omega-level threat. Darkseid launches a full-scale invasion of Earth and the combined League and Society battle para-demons across the planet. Meanwhile, Superman, Batman, and Lex Luthor take on Darkseid atop the Daily Planet building, until Metron offers Luthor the ultimate deal with the devil.
