When Superman returns from his duel with Draaga, the other gladiators are impressed with the way he stood up to Mongul. They offer to smuggle him out of War World through the garbage dump. Superman refuses, as he still has to find the Martian Manhunter. Instead, he offers Draaga his freedom, and puts him on the garbage scow. Draaga arrives on the junk planet, and swears vengeance on Superman for humiliating him.

Meanwhile, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl track their friends to War World but on their way to War World, their transport ship gasses them and drops them off on a junk planet. Eventually, Lantern and Hawkgirl find Draaga, and he offers to show them the way to War World.

Back on War World, Mongul forces Superman to fight him in a duel. If Superman doesn?t comply, he?ll blow up Draaga?s home planet. During the duel, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Draaga arrive. Draaga escapes and heads towards the arena. The rest of the heroes head over to Mongul?s intergalactic cannon, and destroy it so Mongul can no longer blackmail Superman. During the fight, Draaga jumps in and defeats Mongul. Draaga offers Superman Mongul?s crown, but he refuses and leaves War World in the hands of Draaga.
