Synopsis for "True Colors"

More of the superpowered beings devolve into their own personal agendas especially the Supermen (who Christopher Kent shows himself to be fundamentally different from when he is able to physically grab the energy streams of the heat visions of the other two Supermen), while the Monarch continues to force the surviving assembled to fight. This time the selected groups are the various Starman, the Flashes and Wonder Women counterparts.
