She was used as a weapon in the Braal/Titan war and was cast into prison for being too dangerous. But as part of this isolation, she makes contact with Darkseid's mind and sees what she calls the "Final God" and an image of Darkseid and Absolute Superman.  In short order, she manipulates her guards to kill each other, then breaks Rokk Krinn out of prison in an inspired moment to create a Legion.  Snap to the present and Imra is pleased with Superboy Prime's turnabout towards evil.  Again.

Tony Bedard - Writer Kevin Sharpe - Penciller Mark McKenna & Jack Purcell - Inkers Nathan Eyring - Colorist Mike Marts - Editor Synopsis This issue focuses quite a bit on the lead Dominator scientist that is responsible for the new Dominator super soldiers. Via narration, we get interesting insight into the Dominator culture of superiority and how this scientist wanted to protect the Dominion from unforeseen weakness.

Over the years, the Dominion isolated and even signed a non-agression treaty with the humans. Then Booster Gold shows up from the p...
