Influenced by his father (a member of the Freemasons), Superman forms a secret society called the Kryptic Order. They operate in secret, exile criminals to a version of the Phantom Zone, where J'onn J'onzz helps in their rehabilitation. When half the group wishes to go public, a new member is recruited (Kid Flash, Bart Allen, Barry Allen's son). The group is tracked down and exposed by FBI agent Bruce Wayne (whose father Thomas was in the Society as Batman) and Lois Lane.
