Editing Prometheus (DC Comics) (section)

==== Cry for Justice ====
A spate of superhero deaths ([[Freedom Beast]] and [[Gloss (character)|Gloss]]) and attacks on others ([[Barry Allen]], [[Batwoman]], and [[Crimson Avenger]]) is revealed to be the work of the true Prometheus. The villain impersonates [[Captain Marvel Jr.|Freddy Freeman]] and gains access to the JLA satellite, which in turn allows Prometheus to place teleportation devices in the home cities of various heroes which will "strand" them in various places in the past and future, as revenge for the years that he spent with his mind damaged. Prometheus also maims [[Roy Harper (character)|Roy Harper]] after Harper realizes his foe is not Freddy Freeman. After defeating the JLA and the [[Teen Titans]] by reading files on them, Prometheus is captured by [[Donna Troy]] and beaten brutally, until being stopped by the Shade. Prometheus offers to reveal the location of the devices in exchange for his release, after they malfunction and begin destroying the cities. With [[Star City (comics)|Star City]] suffering massive casualties (including Roy's daughter), Prometheus's ultimatum is met and he returns to his lair, but is murdered by [[Green Arrow]] by shooting an arrow through his head.<ref>''Justice League: Cry for Justice'' #1–7 (September 2009–April 2010)</ref>
