7. Patriot Act

General Wade Eiling from Cadmus steals the "Captain Nazi" super-soldier serum and injects it into himself to "protect" the world from metahumans. With the more powerful League members busy, Green Arrow leads Stargirl, S.T.R.I.P.E., Shining Knight, Crimson Avenger, Vigilante, and Speedy against him. Eiling only stops short of killing Shining Knight when a civilian points out that Eiling's reason for attacking the heroes is non-existent, as his entire reason for the attack was to rid the world of meta-humans and he was the only one there with super powers.

Complete story — includes the ending

General Eiling steals the Captain Nazi super-soldier serum and injects it into himself to "protect" the world from the Justice League. With most of the League busy, Green Arrow leads Stargirl, S.T.R.I.P.E., Shining Knight, Crimson Avenger, Vigilante, and Speedy against him when he attacks a parade they were hosting. During the battle a civilian points out the hypocrisy of Eiling's actions: his goal was to rid the world of metahumans, but he was the only one in the fight who actually had superpowers. Persuaded by that logic, Eiling retreats from the battle. Note: The sub-team in this episode is an homage to the Golden Age Seven Soldiers of Victory.
