Synopsis:
Several members of the Injustice League encounter one another in line at the unemployment office. Major Disaster convinces them to join together again. This time they plan to steal a rare diamond. However, the museum where the diamond is on display is being attacked by terrorists when the crooks arrive. Instead of stealing the jewel, they stop the terrorists and make a name for themselves as heroes.

Major Disaster then petitions the Justice League for membership. Rather than casting him out, Max Lord grants the request and creates Justice League Antarctica. He intends to exile all his problems including Gnort. The new branch of the Justice League is then established by the former Injustice League members.

Shortly after their arrival in Antarctica, the villains turned heroes encounter a group of penguins which have been turned into killing machines in a science experiment gone wrong. The new League members take refuge in their headquarters until the real Justice League comes to their rescue. Admitting failure, Max Lord disbands the group.
