Fighting an all-out Superman—what kind of experience was it?

Roger could only say it wasn't pleasant. Not because he couldn't win; by now, his raw strength was on par with Superman's.

The issue was that they couldn't truly go all out. With the destructive power both of them wielded, a full-scale battle would almost certainly turn Metropolis into another disaster zone.

To minimize collateral damage, Roger did his best to keep the fight contained within Superman Plaza.

Of course, if Roger were fighting alone, it would have been difficult to restrain Superman.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone.

The Justice League was by his side.

The moment Roger collided with Superman, the other members of the Justice League leaped into action.

Wonder Woman, Diana, reacted first. As the team's most experienced combatant, Diana instantly pulled out her Lasso of Truth and flung it toward Superman.

However, with Roger blocking the way, Diana's lasso couldn't reach Superman directly. That's where Roger came in.

Seeing the lasso flying his way, Roger quickly caught it and looped it around one of Superman's arms.

Superman, though unaware of the lasso's abilities, instinctively dodged Roger's grip and unleashed a blast of heat vision, aiming past Roger toward Diana.

Diana prepared to dodge, but behind her were a group of policemen who had rushed to the scene. If she evaded, those civilians would be the ones hurt.

Thankfully, Cyborg arrived in time. He stepped in front of Diana, transforming his arm into a shield that absorbed Superman's heat vision.

At the same time, Aquaman charged at Superman, taking advantage of the moment when Superman was grappling with Roger to grab his other arm.

With Superman temporarily restrained, Roger seized the opportunity to wrap the Lasso of Truth securely around Superman's arm.

"Jean!" Roger shouted, signaling her.

Jean Grey took a deep breath, flew behind Superman, and placed her hands on his head. Closing her eyes, she pushed her telepathic powers to their limits.

Simultaneously, Diana activated the lasso's power, compelling Superman to remember his true identity.

For a brief moment, everyone in Superman Plaza seemed frozen in place, standing as still as statues amid the shattered ruins.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Metropolis:

"Seriously? You brought me here, and nothing's even happening."

Thor hovered at the site of the earlier explosion, looking at the nervous researchers and the military soldiers aiming their weapons at him. He muttered in frustration.

Roger had sent Thor to investigate, but Thor had expected some action.

Instead, all he found were bewildered civilians—researchers, to be precise—and armed guards who seemed to have mistaken him for a threat.

If not for Thor holding back, they likely would've already opened fire.

"Calm down, everyone. I'm here to help... probably." Thor raised his hands in a gesture of peace, flashing what he thought was a friendly smile.
