In Justice League Action season 1 episode 2, titled Power Outage, the Justice League is faced with a new threat as they try to prevent a massive blackout in Metropolis. The episode begins with a group of criminals attempting to steal a powerful energy source from the LexCorp facility. However, their plan goes awry when the energy source explodes, causing a city-wide black out.
The power outage affects not just Metropolis, but all of America, and the Justice League must work quickly to identify the source of the problem and restore power. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman decide to split up and investigate different areas of the city. Meanwhile, Cyborg and Green Lantern head to the power plant to see if the attack was part of a larger scheme.
As they begin their investigation, the Justice League quickly discovers that the power outage is not just affecting the city, but also their powers. Superman's strength is diminished, and Wonder Woman's lasso has lost its power. Additionally, Batman's gadgets are no longer functioning, and Green Lantern's ring is weaker than usual. The team soon realizes that the energy source that exploded was not from Earth but was extra-terrestrial in origin, and the radiation it gave off is the cause of the team's powerless state.
The episode sees the Justice League attempting to restore power to Metropolis, while also dealing with the weakened state of their abilities. The team races against time to identify who is behind the explosion and prevent further attacks on the power grid. They soon discover that a group of aliens, led by a villain named Lobo, is responsible for the attack, and that the aliens plan to use the black out as a cover to steal the power source.
The team comes up with a plan to stop the aliens and restore power to Metropolis. They split up into smaller teams and take on Lobo and his minions. However, with their powers weakened by the radiation, they face an uphill battle. In an exciting fight sequence, the Justice League battles Lobo and ultimately defeats him, with the help of Cyborg's technology and Green Lantern's weakened ring.
In the end, the Justice League is able to restore power to Metropolis, and the team's powers begin to return to normal as they absorb the remaining radiation. The episode ends with the Justice League triumphant, and the team united in their mission to protect Earth from threats both foreign and domestic.
Overall, Justice League Action season 1 episode 2, Power Outage, is an exciting and action-packed episode that highlights the strengths of the Justice League as a team.
